Preparing your Wall
Preparing your wall correctly before application of your wallpaper is essential. Below are a few supplier recommendations that MUST occur prior to successful installation:
- Flat paints only (no high gloss finishes)
- AVOID teflon paints, Inspired Wallpaper need the adhesion
- Painted surfaces must have at least 2 weeks post painting to allow for out-gassing & exiting of any solvents
- We don't recommend installing our standard wallpaper if your wall is prone to dampness (either side of the wall)
- Perfectly clean - no dirt, dust or staining
- If you’re not 100% sure on any of the above, re-coat with a standard flat white undercoat & leave for 2 weeks prior to install or at a minimum, wipe over with Vipond’s wall prep to create the key/surface tension to ensure adhesion
- Giving the area a light sand with a fine grade sandpaper also helps to ensure all contaminants are removed & ensures your custom wallpaper has a slightly coarse surface to adhere to
