Hand Block Printed Wallpaper: Hanging Instructions 
Printed on Paper: this is a paste the paper product 
Recommended paste for lining: Beeline with green top (wheat based prepared tub paste). Lining paper is to be hung on a suitable substrate. New plaster must be sealed
Recommended Paste for the hand blocked paper: use a light paste, you can continue to use the green-top Beeline paste or use Beeline light vinyl paste (with a yellow top)
  • This is high quality hand block printed wallpaper that should only be hung by a qualified and experienced decorator.  This wallpaper is not vinyl-coated. It is fragile when wet and extra care should be taken during the hanging process. 
  • Walls must be sound, dry, clean and free from grease or any other contaminant that might affect the adhesive or penetrate the wall covering.  All old wallpaper, backing and lining paper must be removed and any holes or cracks filled.  
  • Powdery, flaky and/or absorbent surfaces must be scraped back and painted with a good quality primer sealer, following the manufacturer’s instructions, and allowed to dry thoroughly.  
  • Previously painted surfaces must be washed down, sanded with glass paper to create a key, and then painted with a good quality primer sealer as above. 
  • Match the pattern at eye level and use a spirit level and faint pencil line to ensure the wallpaper is vertical. 

  • Apply paste evenly TO THE PAPER, paying particular attention that the edges are fully pasted. 
  • Allow to soak for 4-5 minutes for the paper to become supple. Take care not to crease the paper when folding. 



  • Do not over soak as the water content in paste can deteriorate the paper fibre under even the slightest pressure. For this reason do not paste more than one cut length at a time.  

  • Do not allow paste to contaminate the printed surface as the pattern may lift when wiped whilst wet.  
  • If paste does come into contact with the surface of the paper immediately remove it by gently and carefully wiping with a clean, damp sponge. Do not use soap or other cleaners.  

  • Whilst ensuring wallpaper is firmly stuck down, avoid rolling the seams too soon as this will squeeze paste out of the seam area and may cause seam shrinkage. Overworking the seams can burnish the matt appearance of the printed surface and should also be avoided. A felt seam roller and not a sponge, is recommended.

Our company cannot accept responsibility for marks or damage caused by paste. 


We cannot guarantee the colour match between batches.


Ensure the wallpaper is firmly adhered as, in the event of fire, loose wallpapers can contribute to the hazard.  


Products should be carefully inspected prior to cutting. 

Whilst every effort is made to control and inspect each order to ensure you receive the product in the best possible condition, errors can be made, damage and creasing can occur in transit and therefore it is essential that no length is cut until you are totally satisfied in all respects.  

No claim will be allowed for any wallpaper hung in excess of one roll.  If a problem is encountered, do not continue to hang or cut the goods.  The seller cannot be  held responsible for any labour charges or consequential losses incurred.  The user must accept responsibility once work has commenced.  Check that the correct product has been sent. Notification of irregularities must be received within 14 days of receipt of goods.
