HANGING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT
Before hanging check that rolls are undamaged, that numbers and letters are the same for each roll of this design and that all colours match. Return any defective roll with its label to Laura Hammett Living. Take extra care when papering around electric light switches and power points. Do not allow excess moisture to drip onto electrical contacts.

PREPARATION
Prepare wall by removing all traces of dirt, old wallpaper or loose paint. Do not hang wallcoverings on any wall with a history of damp. Fill any cracks and allow to dry before hanging. Absorbent surfaces should be appropriately sized using a diluted wallpaper adhesive, following manufacturer’s instructions. Sealed walls, i.e. painted, should be rubbed down with sandpaper to create a ‘key’.
We recommend that for best results the walls be ‘lined’ horizontally using a good quality lining paper. Allow to fully dry.

Please ensure that the same adhesive is used to hang both the lining paper and the wallcovering.

HANGING
For best results we recommend the use of a lightweight ready-mixed adhesive, or equivalent. Follow the instructions carefully. Lightly fold to allow wallpaper to soak without losing moisture until pliable - normally 5-6 minutes - making sure edges are well pasted. Carefully wipe off excess paste immediately with a clean damp sponge. After hanging 2 or 3 lengths, inspect the results to ensure there is no shading or other fault and the paper is suitable in all respects before continuing to completion.

NO CLAIMS FOR HANGING COSTS WILL BE ALLOWED FOR GOODS HUNG IN EXCESS OF ONE ROLL.
