How to Rampart

SURFACES

• Smooth painted plaster or plasterboard walls.
• Not for use on rough, textured, uneven or unfinished surfaces.

PREPARATION

• Make sure the wall is clean, dry, and free from dust.
• Allow recently painted or primed walls to cure for 30 days prior to applying wallpaper.
• We recommend you try one of our samples in an inconspicuous location for 7 days to check the surface is suitable.
• Gather any tools you may need, a craft knife, a ruler, a squeegee, and a friend.
• We recommend that installation be completed by 2 people.
• Unroll your wallpaper on a clean flat surface, with the image side down.
• Check you are hanging them in the correct order.
  All Rampart wallpapers have a faint guideline.
  10mm from the RIGHT side of the roll. Our bolder prints come in pairs.
  These designs have a faint A and B in the top right corner of each roll.

APPLICATION

• Start on the top left side of the wall, and the top left side of the roll.
• Peel away 10cm of paper backing from the top of the roll and create a crease.
• Align the top of the wallpaper with the ceiling, ensuring it is straight, and press the wallpaper against the wall.
• If you are unhappy with the placement, slowly peel off the paper, reposition and reapply.
• Gently peel the backing down 10cm at a time and smooth out the wallpaper, from the center outwards. Using the squeegee or your hand.
• Continue to remove the liner. Use enough pressure to give a good bond between the adhesive and the wall.
• Go over the whole panel to check for air pockets. If these cannot be squeezed out, use a sewing needle to create a tiny hole and allow the bubble to be pushed flat.
• Once the sheet is completed, apply the next roll.
• Take care to align the graphic with an overlap of 10mm. Our designs come with a mark on the right side of the roll to guide you.
• Once the area is complete, use a sharp knife and ruler to trim any excess.
• Give the edges an additional squeegee to ensure good adhesion and avoid lifting.
