Wallpaper installation is a popular approach to beautify the walls and create a lovely impact in the interior. Installing wallpaper allows you to quickly and simply transform the overall design of a room and give it a new look. However, in order to apply “clean and long-lasting” wall paper, the stages must be followed carefully and methodically.
Step 1: Preparing the tools and materials
It is necessary to prepare the required equipment and materials before beginning to install the wallpaper so that there is no need to stop and seek for tools during installation. Wallpaper, primer, wallpaper adhesive, protective covers such as cloth or plastic, and equipment like as rollers and special brushes, scissors, putty, brushes, sandpaper, meters, and markers are examples of such materials.
Step 2: Preparation of the installation surface
One of the most important stages of project implementation is the preparation of the installation surface prior to wallpaper installation. The surface for installation must be entirely smooth, dry, and clean. Before beginning to apply wallpaper, clean the surface of any debris or dust. Ascertain that the installation surface is totally dry. If the wall is damp or has recently been plastered, let at least two weeks for it to dry fully after eliminating the source of the moisture. Then, using putty and chips, examine the level of the surface and smooth any uneven places. Finally, to ensure the longevity and quality of the installation, coat the surface of the wall with a layer of primer. By following these steps, the desired surface is prepared for wallpaper installation, and the wallpaper will be placed correctly and evenly on the surface.
If the wall is damp or has recently been plastered, allow at least two weeks for it to dry completely after removing the source of the moisture.
Step 3: Preparation of wallpaper adhesive
This step can be skipped if the wallpaper adhesive does not need to be treated before use. However, some wall paper adhesives, such as powder adhesive, must be prepared before use, in which case the adhesive must be prepared and processed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Normally, the adhesive should be gradually combined with lukewarm water at room temperature in the proportion given in the directions and swirled until it achieves the desired consistency with no bubbles or unevenness.
The proper wallpaper adhesive must be chosen since it has a direct impact on the quality and longevity of the wallpaper installation.
Step 4: Cutting the wallpaper
Cutting the paper to the right size is the fourth stage in the wallpaper installation process. Measure the length of the wall with a meter first, and then cut the wallpaper to match the measured wall's length. If necessary, you can divide the wallpaper's size by a few centimeters to account for the length of the wall while cutting it in the following step. Before cutting, check that the pattern is properly positioned on the wall if the wallpaper has one.
Step 5: Applying adhesive to the wall paper
The cut papers should now be placed on a clean surface, and the adhesive should be applied evenly and thoroughly. For this, a brush can be used. Be careful not to get the wallpaper surface dirty or wet.
Step 6: Pasting the wallpaper on the surface of the wall
It's time to stick the papers to the wall at this point. Place the wallpaper gently on the wall's surface first, then use a roller or specialized brush to remove the air from underneath it from the center outward, checking to make sure there are no air bubbles. After that, use scissors or other tools to trim the extra paper to the proper size and form. (You can cover the wallpaper with cloth or plastic to prevent damage.)
Step 7: cleaning up and completing the project
In the final step, remove any excess adhesive. Use a soft, damp cloth to carefully wipe away any excess adhesive from the wallpaper. Additionally, check that the wallpaper is properly attached and not coming off anywhere. If necessary, fix any uneven areas or remove any additional adhesive residue.
Now that the installation is complete, you can enjoy the beauty and effects it brings to your space. With more practice and experience, you can improve your wallpaper installation skills and achieve even better results.
