Before starting work please consider the following points:

Check the product and production codes as well as pattern information. Please keep the control sheet and paper samples.

Prepare the surface well.

Surface preparation: The surface must be dry, stable, evenly absorbent, clean, plain and smooth. Old wallcoverings and soluble paints must be removed.

Cracks and holes should be filled if necessary, and particularly absorbent surfaces should be pre-coated with wallpaper paste.

Prime old, sandy plaster with a water-based primer if possible. Important: Non-woven wallpapers should be hung on surfaces of uniform colour. We therefore recommend using a tinted primer

Paste is applied directly to the wall...

You should ideally use a branded paste for non-woven wallpaper and follow the instructions specified.

Mix the paste according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Then paste the wall in lengths using a roller.

wallpaper is placed onto the pasted wall...

Wallpaper is always hung “with the light,” so work should be started at the window. Ensure that the first length is vertically plumb so that subsequent lengths are also hung straight.

Non-woven wallpaper can be hung directly onto the pasted wall and unrolled without soaking. Smooth the lengths onto the wall using a paperhanging brush or cloth, or a sponge roller to remove bubbles.

... and trimmed. That's all there is to it!

The length can be trimmed at the top and bottom.

Subsequent wallpaper lengths can now be hung, ensuring a good butt joint.

A seam roller can be used to work the joint area if required.

It is important to avoid excessive heat or draughts when hanging and drying wallpaper. The ideal working temperature is between 18° C and 25° C.

Additional tips

A further advantage of non-woven wallpapers is that if they are hung properly in the first instance, when you next come to change your wallpaper they can be stripped without the need for soaking and without leaving any residue.

Lengths of non-woven wallpaper can also be cut before hanging. Pay close attention to the pattern repeat or pattern offset. The room height plus an extra 5 to 10 cm for trimming should give the correct strip length for papers with seamless patterns; in this case, lengths can be cut consecutively, independent of the pattern. Lengths are identical for wallpapers with straight pattern repeats. Simply lay the wallpaper lengths on top of one another, making sure the pattern is in the same place for each, and cut to the required length. For wallpapers with an offset pattern, every second length will be displaced by the offset stated on the label. 

A wallpapering / pasting machine can also be used for wallpaper lengths when working with non-woven wallpapers.

Remove spots of paste immediately by dabbing them with a clean cloth.
