Perth Wallpaper– your one-stop solution to quality wallpaper installation services throws light on some of those most common mistakes in hanging wallpaper that homeowners commit.

The foremost reason why homeowners botch their wallpapers is not paying attention to its appropriate soaking time. After applying the adhesive to the paper; you ought to book it (fold it slightly without causing any creases).

The next stage is waiting the appropriate length of time to let the glue soak properly to the wall.

Our experienced wallpaper installer in Perth suggests you follow the soaking time mentioned in the instructions ‘to the letter’ as it allows you to avoid gaps between the stripes.

Furthermore, when booking the wallpaper; our specialist advises you to ensure that all its edges are lined up perfectly. This is because if any corner gets overexposed to the air, it will make the glue evaporate. And that will make the wallpaper more prone to peeling once hung on your home wall.

How many times has it been that after doing all the hard work, you find it peeling away from the wall surface soon after- many?

Well, the reason for that is your walls are full of grease and dust. Many make the mistake of not preparing the walls properly with a proper coat of primer before the installation to make it stick.

Furthermore, some walls also consist of cracks and bumps which prevents the wallpaper from sticking to the wall surface. Our wallpaper installation specialists in Perth usually make use of a wallpaper liner- a thick white wallpaper which reduces appearances of all imperfections and goes ahead with the wall installation. So, keep this trick in mind when you plan to do it again.
