Frequently Asked Questions

What material are the PhotoMurals made of?

The PhotoMurals are manufactured on two types of mediums. The 8 ft x 12 ft PhotoMurals are produced on a residential grade, pre-pasted wallpaper 30" wide and are hung just like regular wall paper. Our 4 ft x 6 ft PhotoMurals are one piece produced on a vinyl wall covering material.

Can I hang a PhotoMural by myself?

Yes! Residential grade PhotoMurals are printed on actual wallpaper so you can hang it like wallpaper. Just add water and go! However, as with any job, it's always easier with a second pair of hands! If you would like to hire a professional, visit www.thepaperhangers.com where you can input your zip code and receive a list of professional paper-hangers within your area.

The panels overlap, should I trim the extra material?

The panels are printed with a bleed area that results in a 3 to 4 inch overlap. It is recommended the mural be installed with the overlap. The minimal thickness of the wallpaper does not result in a noticeable effect at the overlap. Trimming the excess requires experience, proper tools and precision. The additional time required to trim the overlap during installation may result in overworking the material, drying of the paste resulting either damage to the product and/or loss of adhesion.

Can I do the entire room or just one wall?

Each mural is printed as an independent scene. On smaller walls you can return a PhotoMural around the corner onto the adjacent wall for a unique look. You can certainly order more than one mural and cover more than one wall, in fact a day time then night time scene might be fun!

How do I clean my PhotoMural?

The inks on the PhotoMural are completely cured prior to shipment, however, care should be taken when cleaning to ensure the inks are not removed or smeared by cleaning solvents. We recommend you save any scraps from the installation of your PhotoMural as a trial area. If no scraps are available, perform a trial on an area of the PhotoMural that is not subject to view. If only a light cleaning of readily removable spot is required we recommend the use of a soap and water solution applied with a soft sponge.

Will it fade over time?

In an effort to provide a highly desirable and vibrant PhotoMural, the use of superior inks and durable print materials has been incorporated. The PhotoMurals will standup to ultraviolet (sunlight) radiation for years. However, the coloring agents within the ink material may, over years of daily exposure to direct sunlight, experience a slight degree of fading.

What should I do if my PhotoMural peels?

If you clean and prepare your walls before you install the wallpaper according to the instructions, there should be no problem with peeling. In the event peeling occurs, treating the backside of the de-bonded wallpaper with a wallpaper paste and re-applying should address the problem. Wallpaper paste is generally available at most hardware stores and home improvement centers.

What if I rip or tear it during installation?

Do not over soak or overwork the pre-pasted panels. The panels have overlap (the edges will lap over each other) so if it tears, the next panel should cover it.
