Before production
- Measure the full width and the greatest floor-to-ceiling height of each wall.
- Do not deduct doors, windows or other openings. Label every wall and send clear photographs.
- Confirm the final dimensions, design, scale and colourway with Shop Seif before production begins.
Before installation
- Check all supplied panels before applying adhesive. Confirm the sequence, orientation and overall image.
- If a panel appears damaged, incomplete or inconsistent, stop and contact Shop Seif before installation.
- Allow the panels and room to reach normal indoor conditions before work begins.
Prepare the wall
- The surface must be sound, smooth, clean, dry and free of dust, grease, old adhesive and loose material.
- Repair cracks and holes, sand smooth and seal porous or unevenly absorbent surfaces with a compatible wallcovering primer.
- Resolve damp, leaks or condensation before installing. Do not cover an active moisture problem.
Adhesive and installer
Use only an adhesive confirmed as compatible with both the supplied wallcovering and the prepared wall. Product constructions can vary, so do not assume an adhesive or application method from another project. A professional wallcovering installer is recommended.
Panel sequence
- Lay out the panels in their labelled order and identify the starting position.
- Establish a true vertical guide; do not rely on a corner being perfectly straight.
- Install in sequence, align the design carefully and smooth with clean tools suitable for the surface.
- Remove fresh adhesive from the face immediately using only the method approved for the supplied wallcovering.
- Trim around ceilings, skirting, sockets and openings carefully with clean, sharp tools.
After installation
- Allow the wallcovering to dry naturally with gentle ventilation and a stable room temperature.
- Avoid strong direct heat, forced drying and excessive handling while the adhesive cures.
- Keep spare material and the panel plan for possible future repairs.
Important
The product-specific instructions supplied with an order take priority over this general guide. Contact Shop Seif if the wall condition, adhesive choice or panel sequence is uncertain.
