Steps to install wallpaper
To install wallpaper, you must follow the following steps:
- Prepare the wall, by turning off the electricity, and unplugging all the plugs to provide protection since water will be used when gluing the paper.
- Remove old wallpaper, if any.
- Clean the wall well, especially if there is any mold accumulated on it.
- Smooth the wall by filling any cracks in it with special putty, then waiting for it to dry, then smoothing the wall using sandpaper.
- Apply primer to the wall. This will help the paper stick firmly.
- Measure the length of the wall from ceiling to floor, then increase 10 centimeters, then cut the wallpaper to this length.
- Place the paper on the wall and cut 5 centimeters from the bottom, and 5 centimeters from the top.
- Glue is applied from the back of the wallpaper. If glue is available on the paper, the additional layer is only removed.
- Start by gluing the paper from the ceiling to the floor, leaving a distance of 5 centimeters from the bottom, and 5 centimeters from the top.
- To get rid of any wrinkles, you can use a special brush.
- Paste other wall papers until every wall of the room is covered.
- Apply glue to the place where the leaves meet and attach it with the seam roller to prevent the leaves from falling.
- Clean the wall of excess glue 15 minutes after installing the paper.
