Subsequent wallpaper lengths can now be hung, ensuring a good butt joint. A seam roller can be used to work the joint area if required. It is important to avoid excessive heat or draughts when hanging and drying wallpaper. A further advantage of non-woven wallpapers is that if they are hung properly in the first instance, when you next come to change your wallpaper they can be stripped without the need for soaking and without leaving any residue.
Lengths of non-woven wallpaper can also be cut before hanging. Pay close attention to the pattern repeat or pattern offset. The room height plus an extra 5 to 10 cm for trimming should give the correct strip length for papers with seamless patterns; in this case, lengths can be cut consecutively, independent of the pattern. Lengths are identical for wallpapers with straight pattern repeats. For wallpapers with an offset pattern, every second length will be displaced by the offset stated on the label.
Remove spots of paste immediately by dabbing them with a clean cloth. Decorating using non-woven wallpapers PDF. Update your browser to view this website correctly. Update my browser now.

Wall Designer Want the wall view? Combine as you desire. Slide the wallpaper into position, lining up with the plumb line. Gently press the strip to the wall with a smoothing brush. Be careful not to stretch the wallpaper while positioning. Smooth the bottom half into place. Smooth the entire strip, working from the center outward, forcing out any air pockets. Wash off excess paste with a damp sponge and clean water. Step 7. Trim excess paper along ceiling and baseboard with a sharp razor knife and 6-in putty knife as a guide.
Do not to lift your knife when making long cuts. Wash excess paste off ceiling and baseboards with a wet sponge and clean water. Pattern repeat is simply the vertical distance between the start of a pattern to the point where it repeats further down. Pattern match is the horizontal alignment of the design between adjacent strips.
The most common pattern matches that you will encounter are free match, straight match and offset match. Free match or random match is by far the easiest to hang. There are no matching seams so there is no set way that the strips must be aligned.
With a straight match, the pattern matches across the width of the paper — a straight across match if you like. Offset match, also called drop match, is the hardest to hang. When hanging this match, every second strip must be offset by the specified pattern length.
Basically, the edge of the wallpaper only matches the edge of the second strip when it is dropped by a specific distance. Try as you might to avoid it, when pasting wallpaper, chances are you will accidentally get some of the paste on the front side of the paper.
Where this becomes a problem is when you do not act quickly to correct this or use the right process to remove it. If you do not remove excess paste immediately and properly, this can compromise the binding solution which can cause the colour to come off when wiped. On most wallpaper you will see a small wavy line symbol which indicates that the wallpaper is spongable. Using a damp sponge you can gently wipe away the excess paste. Whatever you do, do not scrub the wallpaper or wipe the paper too hard and do not use any cleaning fluid — just water.
Although important for all types of wallpaper darker colours are particularly susceptible to colour loss in these circumstances. It can take anywhere between 2 and 7 days depending on the type of wall covering used, the condition of the wall surface, the adhesive used and the atmospheric conditions in the room. The recommended conditions for drying wallpaper is drying it naturally in a well ventilated room.
A common mistake made is having the heating on in the room. If the temperature of the room is too high while the paper is still drying then it is likely to shrink and gap as the drying process is unnaturally sped up. The majority of problems that occur when hanging wallpaper are completely avoidable. With the right preparation and research you can make the process so much easier for yourself and avoid the most common wallpaper traps! Now you know what to look out for, go get wallpapering!
