WHY OUR MURALS ARE AVAILABLE ONLY IN PAPER BASE RATHER THAN VINYL ( PEEL AND STICK) ?


1) Wallpaper has a matte finish, which gives a much more realistic effect than vinyl (which is shiny) and resists fading to light much longer.

2) Colors are more vibrant on wallpaper.

3) Wallpaper is ECO friendly (plastic free).

4) Our wallpaper is as robust as any vinyl available on the market of similar thickness.

5) Easy to install, easy to remove without damaging your walls.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Preparing your wall before Installing your mural

Make sure that your wall already painted for at least 30 days

The surface must be clean and smooth. If you feel rough when you rub your hand on the wall, use a sheet of sandpaper to smooth it slightly (medium-end or fine (120 to 150)).

Never install a wallpaper mural on a latex primer!


New wall

Option 1: Apply a coat of latex primer followed by a layer of semi-gloss latex. It will be necessary to wait a minimum of 21 days for drying.

Option 2: Apply a coat of latex primer followed by a coat of oil primer (avoid odorless primers). Allow 3 days of drying.

Option 3 : If you are in a hurry, apply a coat of Zinsser BIN Lacquer Sealer and allow one hour of drying time.

• Our wall murals can easily be installed on glass or on a mirror. Thoroughly clean the glass or mirror before installing your wall mural. They also can be installed on melamine, pre-finished or ceramic if you apply 2 coats of oil primer or a coat of Zinsser BIN Sealant.

• Installing your wall mural on a dark wall can affect the final result. Your mural will look darker, especially if it’s a pale one. It may be more prudent to apply a coat of Zinsser BIN sealer.

• Zinsser’s BIN sealant is available in all good hardware stores.

INSTALLATION :

1. The Rolls are numbered. You can hang the mural from left to right or right to left (to hide the seams). For instance, as you walk in a room, if you install the mural on the left wall, you should hang it from right to left. For the right wall, you should hang from left to right. If there is a window that will be close to the mural on the adjacent wall, start at the side farthest from the window. Seams will be less visible that way. * IMPORTANT: The panels are designed to be overlapped by 1/4".

2. Measure the length of the wall and compare it to the length of your mural. For instance, if the mural is 4" larger than the wall, you may decide to trim 2" from the first panel and 2" from the last panel. In this case, draw a vertical line with a pencil at 15 3/4" from the beginning of the wall using a level (each panel is 17 3/4", so 17 3/4" - 2" = 15 3/4"). If the mural is shorter than the wall, say by 4", then 2" should be left at the beginning and at the end of the wall. Then draw a vertical line at 19 3/4" (17 3/4" for the panel + 2") from the beginning on the wall. You will use this line to locate the side of the first panel that you hang.
* Tip: You can install vertical moldings on each side to frame the mural.

3. Measure the height of the wall and compare it with the height of your mural. For instance, if you have an excess of 4", leave 2" at the top and 2" at the bottom for trimming. If the excess is larger, you can wish to cut more at the top or at the bottom but make sure you leave a minimum of 1" in case the floor or ceiling are not perfectly levelled. If the height of the mural is less than the height to cover, cut the white part at each end before hanging the panel.

4. Place the tray filled with lukewarm water against the wall. Roll the first panel starting at the bottom with the print inside. Submerge in water tray for 15 seconds. Then, very slowly, pull the panel out of water, making sure the prepasted side is completely wet. Hang it against the line you drew earlier. Use your hands to position your mural starting from the center. Run your hand over the seams without pressure in a vertical back-and-forth motion. For the first 2 minutes, you can move the whole strip with your hands flat on the strip. Do not hesitate to remove the panel and reposition it if you have difficulty aligning it.

5. Gently Smooth outwards from the center of the panels to the sides, removing air bubbles (with the sponge smoother). Avoid smoothing with too much pressure that could move the glue on the back. If small air bubbles develop after smoothing them out, do not worry, they will disappear after a few hours. Trim top and bottom as required with an exacto knife, changing blades frequently to avoid tearing the paper. Use a metal spatula as a cutting guide. At the top, cut with the exacto knife over the guide. At the bottom, cut with the exacto knife under the guide. For the vertical trimming, use the corner of the wall and the metal spatula as a guide to cut the excess on the adjacent wall.

6. Repeat this procedure for remaining panels. After hanging each strip, make sure your panel is level. Remember that the panels are designed to be overlapped by 1/4". The last 1/4" of a panel is identical to the first 1/4" of the next panel. Match the design in the middle of the panel, then do the top and the bottom. After hanging a panel, come back to the previous one and run a clean damp cloth over the seams (without pressure) to remove excess glue.

7. Charcoal or wax crayon For dark murals or the ones with dark sections, it is possible that a small white line will be visible at the seams. In this case, we provide a charcoal and/or wax crayon to hide this line. If you hang the mural from left to right, rub gently the left edge with the stick (on dark areas only) before soaking the strip in the water. Do the right side (on dark areas only) if you hang from right to left. The goal is not to create a black line but to hide the white line. Check your first 2 panels to assess the effect and adjust your technique if necessary.
