Applying Self-Adhesive Wallpaper Correctly

For self-adhesive wallpaper to be effective in preventing mold, it must be applied correctly. Follow these steps for best results.

1. Preparing the Surface

Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and primed. This provides a smooth surface for the wallpaper to adhere to.

2. Measuring and Cutting

Measure the wall and cut the wallpaper to the correct size. This ensures a proper fit and reduces the risk of air bubbles.

3. Applying the Wallpaper

Start from the top of the wall and work your way down, smoothing out any air bubbles as you go. Use a squeegee or a similar tool to ensure good adhesion.

4. Checking for Gaps

Make sure there are no gaps or overlaps where moisture can get trapped. Proper alignment is essential for a seamless finish.
