How to Hang Your Wall Mural or Border
Before You Start
- Make sure that your wall covering is intact and has not been damaged in transit. Unpack carefully.
- Make sure that you have adequate lighting - so that you can inspect the material properly while you are hanging it and after it is in position.
- If you don't feel confident in hanging the wall covering yourself, contact a professional decorator.

Self-Adhesive Wall Mural or Border
- Start at the top of the image to be applied and pull down approximately four to six inches of the backer and crease it.
- Apply the exposed adhesive to the desired surface slowly to avoid air bubbles.
- Once the beginning segment is level and in the proper position, continue applying the image in four to six-inch increments.
- For larger graphics, it may be helpful to have multiple people applying it. It is suggested that one person helps pull and crease the backer while another slowly works on adhering the image. If air bubbles or wrinkles appear after applying segments, peel the desired area back and gently reapply with a soft, felt-sided squeegee to remove bubbles.
- Note that the installer should not press too hard with the squeegee as this might damage the image. It is recommended to squeegee at a 45-degree angle with overlapping, firm strokes. An air release tool may be used to pop stubborn air pockets.
- The use of a blow dryer may help to soften the adhesive for easy removal from questionable surfaces like painted walls.
- We do not advise the installation of Self-Adhesive Wallpaper over untreated drywall or drywall that has not been primed.
- There may be some peeling of the drywall upon removal of the Self-Adhesive Wallpaper material.
- On any surface, we suggest removing Self-Adhesive Wallpaper slowly, at a 180-degree angle (pulling straight back against the material versus up) to minimize the tension against the surface.
Aftercare
- Should your wallpaper become dirty, wipe clean with a sponge and mild, soapy water. Clean only when necessary, and use as little moisture as possible. Do not rub hard: the inks will not run, but a gap in the paper may become apparent.
Disclaimer
Once the material has been applied to the wall, the product is deemed accepted and cannot be claimed as defective due to variations in mounting, adhesives, handling, and local environment (including humidity, heat, weathering, or mold). Once you decide to cover the wall, we cannot be held liable for the alterations to the wall that are encountered when preparing or pasting your product. It is extremely rare that anything unusual should happen, but we are here to advise if there is anything you need to discuss after installation.
Care Instructions
Surface wipe only. Clean gently by hand with a mild soapy damp cloth.
