A LITTLE WALL PREPARATION GOES A LONG WAY TO INSURE EASE OF INSTALLATION AND THE LONG LASTING BEAUTY OF YOUR NEW WALLCOVERINGS.
Priming
Its always a good idea to prime your walls with a PRIMER RECOMMENDED ESPECIALLY FOR PREPARING WALLS FOR WALLPAPER. This will promote adhesion, plus when you want to remove your wallpaper, the job will be easier.
Hanging over Painted Walls
- If hanging over painted walls, priming is a must! In many cases, especially in new homes where the paint has been applied with sprayers, the paint will let loose if it is not primed first. Many kitchens and baths have been painted with glossy enamel paints. Treat these with a wallpaper primer before installing your new paper.
Marking Walls
- Use chalk or a pencil to mark your wall; never use ink as it may bleed through your paper and stain.
