2. Plaster Walls
- Ensure that your plastered wall is clean and dry with no loose plaster or contaminants. Old, flaking plaster will need to be scraped and sanded to a smooth surface.
3. Painted
- If your wall is painted, we recommend that the wallpaper mural is installed on matt emulsion paint only.
- Old, flaking paint will need to be scraped and sanded to a smooth surface.
- For freshly painted walls, allow 2 to 3 weeks drying time before installing your wallpaper mural.
4. Wallpaper
- If the wall already has wallpaper adhering to it, then it will need to be removed.
- Once removed ensure the wall surface is smooth, flat and free of dust or other containments.
5. Wallpaper Delivery
- Check the delivered wallpaper mural to ensure it is not damaged due to transport etc.
- It is recommended that two people hang the wallpaper mural together to help achieve the best results
