2. Preparing for wallpapering
Make sure your wall is smooth and free of roughness. Don't hesitate to sand lightly, so that your surface is perfectly flat. Once this is done, clean your wall with your micro-fiber cloth, then dry.
- If you wish, you can protect your floor from the glue with newspaper or a tarpaulin.
- Using a pencil (very light, almost invisible), draw a line along your wall. You'll use this line to hang your first strip of straight wallpaper.
- Installing your wallpaper strips on a solid wall (without windows) is standard.
Materials and preparation before installation
1. Preview the location of your le
We recommend two people for this step, to make the next step easier. Pre-position your panoramic wallpaper next to your window.
The idea is to visualize how your wallpaper strip relates to your window.
2. Make three cuts
Once the custom panoramic wallpaper has been placed side by side (not glued), we recommend that you make a notch at the inside of your window, then diagonally across the window sill.
This step is necessary to avoid bending and tearing your wallpaper during installation, due to the relief of your window.
3. Stick and muffle your wallpaper
Once you've made your cuts, lay your wallpaper on the floor. Glue the entire height of the wall, then start by placing the top strip of wallpaper above your window. Use your spatula to break up the air and stick the top of the strip. Once you've done this, you can use your metal ruler or tampers to fold the wallpaper around the edges of your window.
4. Cut and finish
Then, using a cutter and a metal ruler, carefully cut the wallpaper around your window frame. Be careful not to pull the wallpaper as you lay it. We'll leave you to finish your wallpaper installation in peace! Don't forget to clean your joints and window and wall surrounds.
