From order to installation
Install your wallpaper in five simple steps.
-
Unroll the wallpaper and separate the panels
Check the design and installation order. Each panel is numbered from left to right, starting with Panel 1.
Note: Lay out the panels first to check the image alignment before installation. The wallpaper can be applied to any interior wall and is easy to install, allowing the panels to be adjusted during application. BEUDIS recommends using only non-woven (vlies) wallpaper adhesive. For best results, carefully follow the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions.
-
Applying the wallpaper
Prepare the adhesive — Use the adhesive supplied with the wallpaper or any commercially available non-woven (vlies) wallpaper adhesive. Mix it with cold water according to the proportions specified on the packaging.
Mark the starting point — As walls are not always perfectly straight or perpendicular, use a tape measure and spirit level to mark where the first panel will be installed.
Apply the adhesive — Apply the adhesive evenly to the wall using a roller or brush, covering the area marked in the previous step.
-
Installing the first panel
Start by positioning the top of the panel, ensuring it is perfectly straight. Smooth the wallpaper using a sponge or smoothing roller, working from the centre outward to remove any air bubbles.
Trim the excess wallpaper at the top and bottom using a sharp utility knife.
Note: Do not pull or stretch the wallpaper during installation. Work from the top and allow the material to fall naturally. Take extra care to avoid scratching the printed surface.
-
Joining wallpaper panels
When installing multiple panels, position them edge to edge, as there is no overlap. Adjust each panel until the pattern aligns perfectly, then smooth it into place.
If the pattern does not align on the first attempt, gently lift the panel and reposition it as needed to ensure the graphic elements match correctly.
Remove any air bubbles and excess adhesive.
-
Repeat until complete
Continue the previous steps until all panels are installed.
Allow the wallpaper to dry naturally at room temperature. If there is a heat source, such as a radiator, on the same wall, switch it off for the first 24 hours to reduce the risk of shrinkage.
How to prepare the wall
Proper preparation is essential to ensure your wallpaper adheres correctly and lasts for many years.
-
Painted surface
Wash with dish soap and water, or similar, and rinse with water.
Remove any loose paint. If there are large holes, fill them and let dry before sanding the surface until it is smooth. -
Previously wallpapered surface
All loose wallpaper should be removed. Some wallpapers arepeelable, meaning the first layer can be removed. If the first layer isn’t peelable, you need to plaster the whole wall and sand. For more guidance on how to remove old wallpaper.
-
Concrete and plastered surfaces
Spackle any holes or rough areas and joints. Plaster the whole wall, and when the spackle is dry, sand, smooth, and seal the wall with primer to ensure a successful result. This means you paste the wall with wallpaper paste and let it dry before you start wallpapering
-
Plasterboard, chipboard and wood fibreboards
Spackle any nail and screw holes. The joints should be filled with spackle and jointing tape. Sand and smooth out and seal the wall with primer/sealer. Chipboards should be painted with primer/sealer before wallpapering to ensure the joints don't move.
-
Painted fibreglass fabric
Wash the surface with dish soap and water or similar and rinse with water. Plastering the whole wall and let the spackle dry. Sand, smooth, and seal the wall with primer/sealer.
