Prepare the support

Remove the old coating quickly and easily with a debonding product and a spatula: prepare the surface to perfection

Make sure the wall is completely clean and dry, fill the holes and sand any imperfections until the surface is homogeneous

Using a screwdriver, remove all the switches and electrical socket plates

Take measurements: the second fundamental step

Prepare the Wall Mural glue by mixing evenly and carefully respecting the proportions indicated on the package

Use the plumb line and make reference marks on the wall, this will allow you to adjust the positioning of the sheet during installation.

Make sure that the graphics match and then trim the bleed if necessary. To avoid misalignments we recommend cutting the sheets as the installation progresses.

Prepare the pose

Spread the glue directly on the wall using a roller or brush, covering the entire width of the roll using the lines drawn during preparation as a reference.

Place the first sheet on the wall starting from the top and leave an excess of 5 cm. Check that the sheet corresponds to the reference lines drawn previously

Using a stiff spatula, adhere the entire sheet to the wall. Using smooth movements, start from the center and push the excess glue towards the ends

Using a spatula and cutter, trim the excess flush with the skirting board and the ceiling in the upper part

Lay the second sheet next to the first, paying attention to the alignment before adhering it to the wall. Carefully smooth out the joint area using a damp sponge to squeeze out excess glue

Some air bubbles may appear following installation, which should deflate on their own. If they persist you can pierce them with a pin and inject glue with a syringe inside the bubble.
