Installing Graham and Brown wallpaper involves several steps to ensure a smooth and successful application. Here’s a general guide for installing wallpaper:
Materials Needed:
- Graham and Brown wallpaper
- Wallpaper adhesive (if not pre-pasted)
- Wallpaper smoothing brush or plastic wallpaper smoother
- Utility knife or wallpaper cutting tool
- Measuring tape
- Straight edge or level
- Wallpaper tray
- Sponge
- Drop cloth or plastic sheeting
- Pencil
Installation Steps:
Prepare the Wall:
- Ensure that the wall is clean, smooth, and dry. Repair any imperfections or holes and sand the surface if necessary.
- If the wall has existing wallpaper, remove it and clean the surface thoroughly.
Measure and Cut:
- Measure the height of the wall and cut the wallpaper panels accordingly, leaving a few extra inches at the top and bottom for trimming.
Mix Adhesive (if needed):
- If your wallpaper is not pre-pasted, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mix the wallpaper adhesive.
Apply Adhesive:
- If using pre-pasted wallpaper, activate the adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Apply the adhesive evenly to the back of the wallpaper using a paintbrush or a roller.
Book the Wallpaper:
- Fold the wallpaper with the adhesive sides together, creating a “booking” effect. Let it sit for the recommended time to allow the adhesive to activate.
Hang the Wallpaper:
- Unfold the top half of the wallpaper and position it on the wall, leaving extra at the top and sides for trimming.
- Use a wallpaper smoother or brush to eliminate air bubbles and ensure proper adhesion. Work from the center towards the edges.
Trim Excess Wallpaper:
- Use a utility knife or wallpaper cutting tool to trim the excess wallpaper at the top, bottom, and sides. Use a straight edge or level for straight cuts.
Repeat the Process:
- Repeat the process with the remaining wallpaper panels, aligning the patterns as needed.
Clean Edges:
- Wipe away excess adhesive from the seams with a damp sponge.
Final Smoothing:
- After all panels are in place, go over the entire wall with a wallpaper smoother to ensure a smooth and seamless finish.
Allow to Dry:
- Allow the wallpaper to dry completely before moving or placing furniture against the wall.
Remember to follow the specific instructions provided by Graham and Brown for the wallpaper you’ve chosen, as different wallpapers may have specific requirements. Always work carefully and patiently for the best results.
