Installation

We attach great importance to the technical properties of our products that allow installation without visible joints of individual strips of wallpaper. Only materials that give us the assurance of perfect installation, after many tests, are accepted for the production of our wallpapers. Technical capabilities and diligence in production are only half the battle. Proper installation by a qualified professional guarantees the desired end result. 
Each material has a specific way to install individual strips of wallpaper - either butt or double cut. Pay attention to the pictograms that inform about this placed in the description of each of our materials.

Installation methods

The “double-cut” method

The method of “double cutting” applies only to products properly prepared. During installation, each successive brit on the edge of the width of about 5 cm has an identically repeated pattern. It is necessary to assemble the britches by overlapping one by one, paying attention to the matching of the pattern. The assembler creates an overlap by matching the pattern and makes a cut with a knife with a foot in front of the two layers of wallpaper. The cut off narrow strips should be removed. With this method, a very precise, aesthetic and even invisible joint is created. In the case of minimal convexity of the wall, only this type of installation of solids allows you to achieve perfect joints.

The butt join method

The butt joint installation method involves placing wallpaper strips in such a way that their edges meet directly without overlapping one strip on top of the other. This method is specifically designed for our wallpapers whose structure and thickness prevent installation using the double-cut method.

Attention

It’s essential to properly prepare the wall. The surface should be solid, dry, smooth, and free of dust and grease.

Tools

Wallpaper installation is not an overly complicated process, but the right tools are necessary. In addition to the products available in most stores for professionals (scissors, rollers, brushes, etc.), the assembler can purchase from us two absolutely key tools, without which proper installation of wallpaper may prove impossible.

Pack with Roller

Our proprietary pack is designed to facilitate both smoothing wallpaper and pressing it precisely against the wall. The pack allows you to reach hard-to-reach places when cutting off excess wallpaper in difficult corners. The Teflon roller allows the wallpaper to be pressed down without the risk of damaging it with a sharp edge. Keep in mind that the digital print, however permanent, is applied on the surface. An improper tool with an edge, combined with the imperfection of the wall on which the wallpaper is installed, can lead to mechanical damage to the wallpaper surface during installation.

Knife with a Base

The special knife with a base for double cutting is a tool designed for precisely cutting two layers of wallpaper simultaneously. It allows for stable knife guidance along the seam, perpendicular to the wall, ensuring a straight cut for both strips of wallpaper.

Sometimes installers use standard wallpaper knives for cutting through two layers, but this requires significant skill and experience to ensure the cut is made at a perfect right angle to the wall along the entire length and that the knife blade cuts only the two layers of wallpaper without damaging the wall surface beneath.

Profimex product group

For proper installation of wallpaper, a primer and adhesive with the right parameters should be used. We recommend using our ProfiMEX system kit ( primer - ProfiMex Primer, adhesive - ProfiMex Heavy or Extra Strong for heavy wallpaper). An experienced installer can decide himself on the choice of adhesive and primer according to his own preferences, subject to taking responsibility for the accuracy of this choice.
