How to install panoramic wallpaper?

Panoramic wallpaper is very trendy in the world of decoration, and it is now on the podium of MUST HAVEs to have. Wallpaper is appreciated in all rooms of the house, and for good reason: it dares colors, asserts its shapes. It transforms your interior, and makes it even more magnificent, in just a few hours. And above all it is easy to install!

Are you still hesitating to get started because the installation scares you? Come on, we're going to help you see things more clearly when it comes to installing panoramic wallpaper. You'll see, a little elbow grease, and hey presto, it's done, it's installed.

Thanks to the evolution of wallpaper types, which you will find right here , you no longer have to be afraid to install your own wall covering, thanks to non-woven wallpaper. But of course, if you prefer to call on a professional, you can. You are free to make your own choices. 😊

Is there a right time to hang wallpaper? The experts will tell you yes, and we can tell you: it's TRUE. Many factors can come into play when hanging wallpaper: heat, humidity, type of glue, type of wall, etc. But it's like everything. We just advise you to pay attention to the temperature of your room: avoid hanging your wallpaper on a hot day, because the glue can play tricks on you. 😉

To be as comfortable as possible with your pose, we advise you to gather the following material:

• A level or plumb line
• A cutter with a new blade
• A marouflage spatula
• A glue brush
• A pot of glue for non-woven wallpaper
• A slightly damp sponge or microfiber cloth
• A tapestry ruler

This is a step that may seem trivial at first, but it is this one that will allow you to obtain a perfect and flawless pose.

In all the above cases, you will need to clean the wall with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove all possible dust. Finally, your wall must be clean and dry before applying the glue.

A panoramic wallpaper is read like a sentence, from left to right. This is why you will have to start your installation on the left corner of your wall, with strip no. 1.

It is important to level your wall so that your mural is straight. To do this, place your level directly on the wall (not in the corner, because walls are never 100% straight), and draw the level line with a pencil. The line should not be very pronounced, so that it cannot be seen through your wallpaper.

If you have opted for a panoramic wallpaper from MuralConcept, do not worry about pre-pasting the paper. Our wallpapers are non-woven and therefore allow direct installation on the wall.

The glue dries quickly, which is why we advise you to apply your glue with a brush only to the place where you are going to lay your strip. Do not glue the entire wall directly, the glue may dry out as you lay it .

The glue is applied, the level is done, you are ready for the long-awaited moment: the installation of the first strip of wallpaper. We advise you to leave a very small margin in height and width to facilitate installation. Once the first strip is installed, remember to smooth it down well with your spatula to remove all the air bubbles and excess glue that may have settled under the first strip.

The hardest part is over, you can now continue your installation by repeating the gluing, installation and marouflage. Our panoramic wallpapers are custom-made, so don't worry about the connections, they will be easy to find. Also, when joining the strips, make sure that the strips are well glued, because when drying, the strips can shrink slightly. Remember to clean the excess glue with a damp light microfibre.

The last step is to perfect your panoramic for a breathtaking result. To do this, smooth your joints well with your marouflage spatula. You can also use a joint roller if you wish, for more ease. Finally, clean the edges of your custom wallpaper and the joints of the strips with a sponge or a slightly damp microfiber to remove glue residue, which can, if not cleaned, cause stains to appear on your beautiful panoramic wallpaper.
