INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANGING CORK WALLPAPER :
Please read these lines before you start papering
- You need to sand smooth and clean to remove all traces of dust, if the surface has been painted before.
- To get a good result, the wall must be dry, smooth and free of previous treatments.
- Before papering, the walls made absorbent material, such as plaster or plasterboard must be glued or painted with suitable paint and let dry.
- The colour of the wall must be even and have a light so as not to show through once the paper has been hung. This recommendation is especially important when papering with non-woven support because it is less opaque than paper.
- It is important to check that the rolls are not defective and have the same serial number. In case of complaint, you must send the label with a sample of the roll. Rolls applied to walls are considered approved and therefore can not be claimed. If you have hired a painter to paper you must inform him of his responsibility to control defective rolls.
