BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Prepare the wall and tools
The wall must be smooth, clean, dry and dust-free. Do not use cleaning products that may leave residue. For fresh paint, follow the manufacturer’s recommended curing time.
- Measuring tape
- Level and pencil
- Squeegee or soft cloth
- Utility knife
- Stable stepladder

SELF-ADHESIVE MURAL
The 6 installation steps
Align the first panel
Align the panel with the corner of the wall and leave about 1 inch of material extending past the top before beginning to press it into place.
Secure the panel
Align the panel correctly, then press the exposed adhesive section onto the wall.
Press with the squeegee
Move the plastic squeegee from the centre to the left, then from the centre to the right. Work downward progressively without leaving any area unpressed so the entire mural adheres to the wall.
Align the panels
Use an overlap of about 0.5 inch to match the design.
Finish the edges
Press the edges with the squeegee, then carefully trim excess material with a fresh blade.
SEE THE TECHNIQUE
Self-adhesive mural installation
The video shows how to position the panels and use the plastic squeegee to press the entire surface onto the wall.
COMMERCIAL WALLPAPER
A different installation method
The wallpaper is not pre-pasted. Use standard wallpaper adhesive. Panels are printed 24 inches wide and require an overlap of about 1 inch to match the design.
A double cut removes the overlap between panels. It can be used on wallpaper and also on the self-adhesive mural when the seam is too visible.
MISTAKES TO AVOID
For a smooth installation
Dusty or damp wall
Adhesion will be less reliable.
Tilted first panel
Misalignment grows with every panel.
Liner removed too quickly
The material becomes harder to control.
Dull blade
It can tear the edges.
