Orla Kiely Wallpaper Instructions

Please read these instructions carefully before hanging this wallpaper. It is advisable that a professional decorator is used.

 

Inspect Every Roll 

-Ensure that the rolls are the same batch number and are in good condition.

-Please retain all batch labels until decorating is complete.

-After hanging 2 or 3 lengths we strongly recommend that you carefully inspect the results.

 

Preparation

-Walls should be dry, clean and even.

-Remove any old wallpaper and loose paint.

-Roughen painted surfaces with sandpaper.

-For best results we recommend that walls are cross lined using a good quality lining paper. Sizing the lining paper will aid adhesion.

- Lining should be allowed to dry out completely before hanging the wallpaper.

 

Pasting and Hanging

-This is a paste the wall product. The decorator should paste the wall and not the back of the wallcovering.

-A good quality, solvent free, fungicide protected ready-mixed ‘tub’ adhesive should be used.

-Paste should be evenly applied to the wall to hang one length at a time, to an area slightly wider than width of the paper.

-Butt joints and use a decorators brush to smooth down the wallpaper, working from the centre to the edges to express air bubbles.

-Avoid squeezing paste out of the joints and ensure paste does not get onto the brush or roller.

-No paste should be allowed to come into contact with the surface and hands should be kept clean and dry whilst hanging the wallpaper.

-Paste will damage the surface. The company cannot accept responsibility for marks or damage caused by paste.

-Should any paste have been allowed to come into contact with the surface, it should be lightly sponged whilst still moist, using a   clean damp sponge.
