INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WALLPAPER HANGING

ALL FABSCARTE WORKS REQUIRE EXPERT INSTALLERS. THE COMPANY DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROBLEMS DUE TO NOT FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS
We remind you to check that patterned wallpaper match your requests and expectations before proceeding to the installation. All Fabscarte works are hand made: the slight potential color variations are the result of a genuine craft.
SURFACE PREPARATION
The quality of the nal result depends on a good preparation of the surfaces. The walls must be dry, smooth and clean. New plastered and strongly absorbent surfaces must be properly insulated with a layer of an appropriate acrylic resin. It is advisable to cover the walls with raw lining paper, to obtain a suitable surface for the hanging of the wallpaper.
Speci c surfaces:
– The wallpaper must not be hung on old layers of wallpaper. Where not possible, make sure all layers are properly xed
– When it’s not possible to entirely remove shiny, enameled or painted surfaces, it is advisable
to prepare the surface with an appropriate bonding mortar in order to obtain su cient cohesion
– Avoid using oil paint, because oil could stain the paper
– Paper with gold and silver painted backgrounds must not be applied on wall with anti-mould or treated with lime plaster because the alkaline base may damage it
WALLPAPER HANGING
The trimming of the edges must be executed according to the instructions written on the back of each sheet where the speci cations for the vertical cut margin are found.
It is advisable to change the blade of the utility knife often.
Upon request the trimming will be executed directly by Fabscarte with an additional cost.
Some kinds of patterned wallpaper have starting indications on the top horizontal edge.
This reference point must be kept from one paper to another. The rst sheet should be vertically hung using a plumb-line.
The numeration that may be shown on the back of the paper must be strictly followed, in the interest of keeping the pattern order.
Before cutting the rolls place at least three sheets to verify that the hanging is correct.
PASTE
It is advisable to use a paste tting the product
type, the installation procedure and the local climate. In general the paste should be watersoluble, containing rice starch and a minimal water component.
HANGING PROCEDURE
Apply a coat of paste on the back of the sheet and fold it in order to let the paper soak. Wait 3 to 5 minutes, depending on paper thickness and climate conditions.
In detail:
– Thin paper or humid climate: less soaking time – Thick paper or dry climate: more soaking time
Apply the wallpaper on the wall with an upholstery brush, or spatula, according to the type of paper. Gently apply pressure using a roller or a soft brush. Remove possible paste leaks with a damp sponge. Once applied the wallpaper, while still wet, proceed with top and bottom edge trimming.
