Installation recommendations
Our Vinyl-Tac Material has a very fine linen texture to it. This texture is small enough that it is hard to see but easy to feel. Similar to a high tread count linen.
Vinyl-Tac Material has a self-stick adhesive that is repositionable. You can re-apply this material over and over as long as you don’t contaminate the adhesive. So this material offers a lot of forgiveness while installing it. This material is thin and somewhat flexible. Color on the wall can bleed through this material. It should be installed on a solid white wall with no imperfections. Cracks and flaws can show through.
- A flat white or light color painted wall is highley recommended as this works best!
- Freshly painted walls should be air dried at least 5-8 days prior to installation for the chemicals in the paint to degas so it should not interfer with the adhesive.
- Since this is a low tac adhesive material, a strip of double sided tape on the top will help secure the edges for a better installation.
We go to great lengths to assure that the Fabri-Tac wall paper product is perfect. Our premium materials have been engineered and tested to assure the highest level of performance and repeatability.

Before You Start:
Lay out each panel next to it’s matching panel. Look for good color match, pattern match and defects. If you find defects in the print you should stop and contact us immediately.
Preparing Your Wall:
Proper surface preparation is key to getting great results. To prepare the surface properly, we recommend that you prime all surfaces with a universal, white-pigmented, mold inhibiting wallcovering primer.
Patch any large holes using joint compound and a putty knife. Allow the patches to dry completely, then sand smooth with a fine grit sandpaper.
Mark straight horizontal and vertical lines on your wall to line up the first panels.

Installing the Panels:
Use a level and pencil to draw vertical guidelines on the wall. You should space these lines so you can perfectly align the rows of vinyl wallpaper.
Cut a piece of vinyl wallpaper that is 6 to 8 inches taller than the wall.
Place the wallpaper on the wall, aligning it with a set of vertical pencil guidelines. Allow a small amount of overlap on the top and bottom of the wall: you will trim the wallpaper after it has been installed.
Smooth the vinyl wallpaper using a yardstick. A regular wallpaper smoothing brush will not work to remove bubbles from the heavy vinyl. For lighter vinyl, you can use a short bristled smoothing brush if you prefer.
Place the second strip to the edge of the first strip. Do not leave any overlap on the seams since vinyl will not adhere to itself. Seams should be vertical, have a tight fit, and be free from air and paste bubbles. Seams should not be located closer than 6” to corners.
Apply the next piece of wallpaper, using the same method you used to apply the first piece. Make sure that the edges of any pattern matches.
After you have applied all of the wallpaper on one wall, trim the top and bottom of the wallaper using a metal straightedge and utility blade.
Find any bubbles in the vinyl and attempt to smooth them with the yardstick. For any bubbles you can’t remove, use a needle to pierce the bubble. Then press the bubble to release any air and smooth the wallpaper.
Aplique la siguiente pieza de papel tapiz, utilizando el mismo método que utilizó para aplicar la primera pieza. Asegúrese de que los bordes de cualquier patrón coincidan.
Después de haber aplicado todo el papel tapiz en una pared, recorte la parte superior e inferior del papel tapiz con una regla de metal y una cuchilla.
Busque las burbujas en el vinilo e intente suavizarlas con la vara de medir. Para cualquier burbuja que no pueda eliminar, use una aguja para perforar la burbuja. Luego presione la burbuja para liberar el aire y alisar el papel tapiz.
