How to Pre-cut Your Panels

Once your wallpaper has arrived and you know the height and width of your bathroom, you want to precut your first panel to the height of your wall.

Prior to applying your first panel, clean the surface by wiping with a damp cloth or wet rag, making sure the surface is fully dried before application. For an easier install, remove switch plates and outlet covers prior to installation making sure to turn off electricity at the source prior to removal. We recommend wiping your intended surface with isopropyl alcohol + water solution (1:1 ratio) and letting it dry before installation to ensure the best compatibility.

Grab your tool bundle and follow these simple application steps for cutting and installing pre-cut panels:

1. Measure the height and width of your surface, this will determine how many panels you will need.

2. Pre-cut your first panel to the height of your surface adding 2-3 inches of excess material at the bottom.

3. Be sure to align the pattern with each consecutive panel prior to cutting, numbering the back of each panel
as you work.

4. Using a level, mark a vertical guide down the length of the surface.

5. Peel back 3-4 ft. of the backing.

6. Begin at the top edge aligning paper with your vertical guide to ensure a straight application.

7. Use a squeegee to smooth paper to surface working from the center out. Tempaper can be repositioned
as needed to ensure pattern alignment and to eliminate bubbling.

8. Continue in 3-4 foot increments peeling and smoothing until you reach the bottom edge of your surface.

9. Repeat steps 5-8 until the surface has been fully covered.

10. Trim where needed with a craft knife to complete your application.

Smooth Out Any Bubbles & Trim Around Any Surfaces

Now that you’ve lined up your panels on the wall, you want to make sure to remove any air bubbles from your wallpaper. You can use a squeegee to smooth the surface, starting from the center and working your way out.  

Since Tempaper wallpaper is removable, you can reposition the panel as needed to ensure proper panel alignment and remove any large air bubbles.
