PEEL AND STICK WALLPAPER The peel and stick wallpaper is easy to glue, you can do it alone. An important rule is to start removing the self-adhesive part from the very top. Remove about 5 centimeters of these part and gently glue the top. Then slightly remove the film and immediately glue the remaining wallpaper. To avoid waves or air ingress, use a regular rubber or silicone scraper. Standard wallpaper is 50 centimeters width, it is very convenient for gluing and does not require help from the outside. 1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure that the surface where you'll be applying the wallpaper is clean, smooth, and free from dust, grease, or debris. Use a mild detergent and water to clean the surface thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before proceeding. 2. Position the Wallpaper: Carefully position the peel and stick wallpaper onto the surface, starting from one corner and working your way across. Use a wallpaper smoother or squeegee to remove any air bubbles and ensure a smooth, flat application. 3. Smooth and Trim: Oncethe wallpaper is in place, use a wallpaper smoother or clean, dry cloth to smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your self-adhesive wallpaper adheres securely to the surface and provides a flawless finish that enhances the beauty of your space.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NON-WOVEN WALLPAPER Gluing non-woven paper wallpapers requires a slightly different approach compared to traditional paper wallpapers. Non-woven wallpapers are made from a blend of natural and synthetic fibers, providing added durability and ease of installation. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to glue non-woven paper wallpapers effectively: 1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure that the surface where you'll be applying the wallpaper is clean, smooth, and free from dust, grease, or debris. Use a mild detergent and water to clean the surface thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before proceeding. 2. Measure and Cut: Measure the height of your wall and cut the wallpaper to the appropriate length, leaving a few inches of excess at the top and bottom to accommodate any adjustments. Use a sharp utility knife or scissors to cut the wallpaper cleanly and accurately. 3. Mix the Adhesive: Prepare the wallpaper adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions. Non-woven wallpapers typically require a paste-the-wall adhesive, which is applied directly to the wall rather than to the back of the wallpaper. 4. Apply the Adhesive: Using a paint roller or brush, apply a thin, even layer of wallpaper adhesive to the wall where you'll be installing the wallpaper. Work in small sections to ensure the adhesive doesn't dry out before you apply the wallpaper. 6. Hang the Wallpaper: Carefully position the first strip of wallpaper onto the adhesive-coated wall, starting from one corner and working your way across. Use a wallpaper smoother or brush to smooth out any air bubbles and ensure a flat, even application. 7. Match the Pattern: Ifyour wallpaper has a pattern that needs to be matched at the seams, take care to align the pattern correctly as you hang each strip. Use a pencil or chalk to mark the position of the next strip before applying the adhesive. 8. Overlap and Trim: Allow each strip of wallpaper to overlap slightly at the edges to ensure a seamless finish. Once all the strips are in place, use a sharp utility knife or scissors to trim off any excess wallpaper at the top and bottom of the wall. 9. Smooth and Seal: Once the wallpaper is in place, use a wallpaper smoother or clean, dry cloth to smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles. Pay special attention to the edges and seams to ensure they are tightly sealed. 10. Allow to Dry: Allow the wallpaper adhesive to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before handling or applying any pressure to the wallpaper. This typically takes several hours or overnight, depending on the type of adhesive used and the environmental conditions. 11. Final Touches: After the adhesive has dried, inspect the wallpaper for any loose edges or corners. If necessary, use a small brush to apply additional adhesive to secure any areas that may be lifting or peeling. ----- What You need to glue the non-woven wallpaper: ○ A special glue designed for gluing walls with fabric wallpaper ○ Paste brush ○ Seam roller ○ Paperhanging brush ○ Trimming knife ○ Cutting guide ○ Bubble level ○ Pencil ○ Measuring tape. ----- Wallpapering in corners: Glue the corner strip about 3 centimeters from the corner and glue them together.
