Instructions for Hanging Vinyl and Non-Woven Wallpapers
1. **Surface Preparation**:
- Ensure that the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth.
- Remove any existing wallpaper, dirt, or debris.
- Repair any cracks or imperfections in the wall surface.
2. **Priming**:
- Prime the wall surface with adhesive diluted with water at a ratio of 1 part adhesive to 2 parts water, or use a deep penetration primer.
- Pre-treat the surface with a fungicidal solution to prevent mold formation.
3. **Wallpaper Hanging**:
- Hang wallpapers on a dry, even surface.
- Check the wall's readiness for hanging by using tape. Stick a piece of tape on the wall and remove it quickly. If there are traces of paint or plaster on the tape, rework the surface.
- Choose the hanging method according to the wallpaper type. Plain wallpapers without a pattern are hung using the reverse hanging method, while patterned wallpapers require careful matching of the pattern.
- Cut wallpaper strips with an allowance for trimming at the ceiling and floor. Do not cut more than one roll at a time.
- Ensure the quality of the roll and the effectiveness of the adhesive.
- Apply the adhesive to the wallpaper for vinyl wallpapers, and directly to the wall for non-woven wallpapers.
- Let the adhesive soak for 5 minutes for vinyl wallpapers.
- Hang wallpaper strips tightly next to each other, avoiding adhesive on the joints.
- Smooth the surface carefully with a roller, paying special attention to the seams.
- Ensure no bubbles appear on the surface during the hanging process.
4. **Environmental Conditions**:
- Avoid drafts during wallpapering.
- Maintain a temperature of +10 to +30°C and optimal humidity of 70%.
- Lower temperatures can complicate the pasting process as the adhesive takes longer to dry.
5. **Specialized Advice**:
- For proper selection of glue, consult a specialized store and show the label attached to each roll.
By following these instructions, you can ensure a successful and durable installation of vinyl and non-woven wallpapers.
