WALLPAPER HANGING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to make the very most of your new Fornasetti wallpaper, we recommend you or your decorator read the steps below before hanging your chosen design. You can get an indication of how many rolls you will need by contacting us.
Don't forget to allow for the pattern match as a large repeat or half/third match point can mean you will require more rolls. The pattern match will determine where the pattern joins at each side of a drop of wallpaper; ‘Random Match’ is where there is no pattern at the joining edge to match, e.g. a vertical stripe, 'Straight Match' is when the pattern repeats side to side on the roll and the pattern joins in the same place on the next drop of wallpaper, 'Half Drop' is when the pattern repeats diagonally across a wall and the pattern match from side to side drops down one half before repeating, 'Third Drop' is similar, but the pattern match drops down one third before repeating.
Before hanging your wallpaper, check that rolls are undamaged, that the product code and batch reference are the same for each roll and that all colours match.
YOUR WALLS
To ensure a perfect finish, walls should be prepared correctly; all holes should be filled, walls should be smooth, dry and cleared of any debris. Walls must be primed and if necessary cross line with lining paper. Lining paper helps to even out slight imperfections acting as a base for your wallpaper. Turn off the power and remove all faceplates and socket covers.
Do not hang over glossy or non-porous areas. Painted walls should be rubbed down to remove grease or soiling and glossy paint should be rubbed down with sandpaper. Pre paste porous wall surfaces such as plasterboard or chipboard. Never hang over new plaster or unprimed walls.
Foil background designs can be damaged if high levels of alkaline are present in the walls. If in doubt, prepare the walls with an alkaline resistant primer before hanging. We recommend lining walls where highly metallic papers are being installed. If lining paper is being installed it should always be hung horizontally, following manufacturer’s instructions, and be allowed to dry completely.
PLEASE NOTE
It is the responsibility of the decorator to ensure the wallpaper is correct and, during hanging, to check there are no visible faults. No claim for hanging costs in excess of one roll will be accepted.
Check all wallpaper within 14 days of receipt; please notify us of any faulty product.
We cannot accept any responsibility after the wallpaper has been hung.
This information has been supplied in good faith but without guarantee.

Cole & Son supplies 3 different tub sizes; 2.5kg, 5kg and 10kg. We recommend 1 kilo of paste per standard roll or wallpaper, so if you place an order for 5 rolls or wallpaper a 5kg tub of paste would be required. Extra paste will be required where wide width wallpapers are used.
Back to topPlease always check the hanging instructions supplied with your wallpaper.
Back to topAs long as the room is well-ventilated and the walls are in good condition, Fornasetti wallpapers can be used in bathrooms. However, they should not be placed in areas where they are likely to come into direct contact with water. In order to help prevent against problems when using wallpapers in high humidity areas, we recommend using a matte decorators varnish on top of the wallpaper which will provide better protection against moisture. We advise you test the varnish on a wallpaper sample to check you are happy with the finish before applying to the wall.
Back to topIt is always best to allow a newly plastered wall to fully dry out for two or three weeks before hanging wallpaper. If you need to decorate before the plaster has fully dried the walls must be ‘sized’ before hanging. Use a normal decorator’s size or diluted good quality paste and then follow the hanging instructions.
When hanging textured wallcoverings please be aware that they do not allow the wall to breathe, and any moisture present in the walls will be trapped there and could create mould.
The recommended paste (which includes a fungicide) will help to prevent this. Please check the hanging instructions for further information.
A good quality, 800 or 1000 grade lining paper is recommended.
Back to topA batch number indicates wallpaper rolls that have been produced together. Rolls from the same batch should be hung together to avoid any roll to roll colour discrepancies.

Please note, patterns with a large pattern repeat or a half-drop require additional wallpaper to account for wastage.
