Tip 1:
When hanging a large-scale pattern in a room that has a fireplace, center the first strip over the fireplace and
hang to the right. Then go back and hang to the left. If you're going around the whole room, plan to end in an
inconspicuous corner.
Tip 2:
Never wrap a whole strip around inside corners without cutting and realigning. It may look okay at first, but in a
few weeks, wrinkles and creases might appear.
Tip 3:
When using no-match, plain textured wallcoverings, reverse every other strip to bottom for uniform color.
Tip 4:
Never use a seam roller on flocked wallcoverings. Gently tap the seams with the edge of a smoothing brush.
Tip 5:
Check the run numbers on your rolls before you start to make sure they're the same, as color may vary slightly from
run to run.
Tip 6:
If you're not going to paper into the inside of an arch or frameless window or door, trim the wallcovering with your
razor 1/4" from the outside edge. This will prevent fraying or pulling from the outside edge.
Tip 7:
Ceilings, like walls, are not always true. So plan to end the ceiling wallcovering on less critical side of the
room, like above the entrance.
Tip 8:
Where vinyl wallcoverings overlap in corners, at ceilings, etc. you'll probably need to use a vinyl-to-vinyl
adhesive to make them stick together.
Tip 9:
If you do not have vinyl-to-vinyl adhesive available, and you only need to cover a small area, you then can use
Elmers Glue as a substitute.
