Understanding Custom Wallpaper Panels

A. Definition and Concept:
Custom wallpaper panels are a versatile and innovative way to enhance your home decor. These panels are specifically designed to address the unique needs of business and homeowners seeking creative and personalized wall coverings. Unlike traditional wallpaper rolls, custom wallpaper panels offer flexibility in sizing, allowing for precise measurements that cater to your specific space. 

We can print any Panel size from 18 to 52 inches width. Two most common sizes are 20.5” wide (traditional wallpaper roll size) and 26” panel wide. 26 inches is an optimal wallpaper panel size, it is still convenient for single person installation. And wide panels allow for larger repeat size and less seams. 

Large wallpaper panel width is becoming increasingly important given the current trends towards large and bold designs. 1-2 feet size flowers, wide hand painted lines, extra large damask and toile, etc.

By combining artistry and technology, these panels provide a seamless and visually stunning result, transforming your walls into captivating focal points.

Installation Process
When it comes to installing custom wallpaper panels, proper preparation and attention to detail are key to achieving a flawless result. In this section, we'll guide you through the installation process, addressing important pinpoints to ensure a successful outcome. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a beginner, these step-by-step instructions and helpful tips will help you navigate the installation with ease.

A. Preparing your walls for installation
Before you start installing your custom wallpaper rolls, it's crucial to prepare your walls properly. Follow these steps for optimal results:

Clean the walls: Ensure that the walls are clean, smooth, and free from dust or debris. Use a mild detergent and water solution to remove any dirt or grease stains. Rinse the walls thoroughly and allow them to dry completely. Wait 4-6 weeks for the newly painted wall. 

Repair imperfections: Inspect the walls for any cracks, holes, or uneven surfaces. Fill in the gaps and repair imperfections using spackle or putty. Sand the patched areas gently to achieve a smooth surface.

Prime the walls: Applying a primer is recommended to create a stable surface for the wallpaper and improve adhesion. Choose a primer suitable for your wall type and apply it evenly following the manufacturer's instructions. Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding.

B. Step-by-step guide to applying custom wallpaper panels
Now that your walls are prepped, it's time to apply the custom wallpaper panels. Follow these steps for a seamless installation:

Measure and cut: Measure the height of your wall and cut the custom wallpaper panels accordingly, leaving a few extra inches at the top and bottom for adjustments.

Apply adhesive: If you're using traditional wallpaper, apply wallpaper adhesive to the back of the first panel using a roller or brush. For peel-and-stick options, carefully remove 10-12” of  the backing and align the panel on the wall using a vertical level tool. Starting from the corner of the wall is not a good idea, because walls might not be perfectly straight.

Align and smooth: Start from the top of the wall and align the panel carefully, ensuring it is straight. Smooth the panel from top to bottom, from center outwards using a wallpaper brush, squeegee or a clean, damp sponge to remove any air bubbles or wrinkles. Hold the part at a slight angle during smoothing. Peel off the backing of the peel and stick wallpaper panel gradually, 10-12” at a time, as you smooth from top to bottom.  

Continue with subsequent panels: Repeat the process for the remaining panels, ensuring proper alignment and seamless integration between each panel. Use a wallpaper roller tool to flatten seams. 

Trim excess wallpaper at the top and bottom using a sharp utility knife and straight tool when finished with the last panel. 

C. Tips for seamless installation and alignment
To achieve a professional-looking installation, consider the following tips:

Work in sections: Divide your wall into manageable sections and focus on one section at a time. This approach ensures better control and reduces the chances of errors.

Double-check alignment: Use a level or a plumb line to ensure that each panel is vertically aligned. Adjust as needed before smoothing it down.

Smooth out air bubbles: If air bubbles form during installation, gently lift the wallpaper and reapply, smoothing out the bubbles as you go.

Maintain consistent pressure: Apply consistent pressure when smoothing the wallpaper panels to avoid unevenness. Do not use sharp tools to avoid scratching the paint.

D. Removing and repositioning wallpaper panels (if applicable)
If you need to remove or reposition a wallpaper panel, follow these steps:

Gentle removal: Start at one corner and peel back the wallpaper slowly, taking care not to damage the wall surface. Use a wallpaper steamer or a damp cloth to loosen stubborn adhesive.

Repositioning: If you need to reposition a panel, apply a fresh layer of adhesive or utilize the peel-and-stick backing, aligning it carefully with the existing panels.

By following these guidelines and tips, you'll be able to install your custom wallpaper rolls with confidence and precision. Remember to take your time, follow the manufacturer's instructions, and seek professional help if needed. Stay tuned for the next section, where we'll explore maintenance and care tips
