How to Prepare Your Wall for a Mural

It’s critical to properly prepare your chosen wall before installing your mural to ensure that it has a long and healthy life. A brief approach to prepping your wall for your new mural may be seen below.

Plaster

Make sure your plastered wall is free of pollutants and is clean and dry. Apply a decent grade sealer/primer at the end.

Painted walls

If your wall is painted, we recommend using only matt emulsion paint for the mural. It will be necessary to remove and sand old, flaking paint to get a flat surface. Finish with a high-quality primer or wall sealant. Allow 2 to 3 weeks for freshly painted walls to dry before adding your mural.

Walls with wallpaper

Remove any old wallpaper before installing your wall mural, and DO NOT use lining paper behind it. Prior to installation, seal/prime the surface.

How to Install a “Paste the Wall” Mural

1. Lay Out Your Wall Mural

Panels will be provided for your wall mural. Place the panels in the correct order and set aside for at least 5 hours. When you first open your mural, make sure to inspect it well. Before applying the paint, wet the prepared wall with a sponge or a spray bottle. It is suggested that you work from the left to the right.

2. Draw a Straight Vertical Line on Your Wall

Draw a straight line vertically, a panel’s width in from the edge of the wall, using a spirit level and tape measure to create a guideline. Remember to subtract the bleed/extra piece of paper measurement. This will assist you in guiding your panel into position and ensuring that it is applied straight.

3. Apply Your Wallpaper Paste to the Wall

Apply the supplied paste to the wall in the area where the first panel will be put with a medium pile paint roller. Apply the first panel to the pasted area while avoiding squeezing any paste out of the edges. Make sure there’s enough bleed at the top, bottom, and sides to trim later. Smooth any creases or bubbles from the top to the bottom of the panel with a damp sponge or brush.

4. Match Up the Panels

Before each panel, paste the wall. Place the second and subsequent panels up next to your first. As each panel is applied, double-check that the pattern or image matches. Slide each panel into position, making sure they are edge to edge – no gaps or overlaps. After each application, smooth each panel with a damp sponge or brush.

5. Trim Any Excess

With a sharp blade, gently trim the top, bottom, and far left and right sides of the mural once all panels have been installed. Remove any extra paste with a moist sponge or brush.
