Gold paper on wall & ceiling

The substrate must be dry, stable, evenly absorbent, clean, dust-free, smooth, sufficiently even for wallpapering and of a neutral colour.
Remove stains or colour differences on the wall with a suitable pigmented wallpaper primer to prevent them from shining through.
Cracks, holes and unevenness must be repaired with suitable measures before wallpapering.
Allow freshly plastered surfaces to dry thoroughly.
Set highly absorbent surfaces with a suitable unpigmented or water-based primer.
The substrate must still be evenly absorbent after the primer coat.
Primer:

Check and visually inspect the membranes BEFORE processing for deviations and/or defects and, if necessary, apply the adhesive in an upturned position.
Preliminary tests/sample tests
Start at the window or light source
Ensure room temperature +18 to +25C, humidity 30 to 60% and draught

Bring the natural surface to room temperature before unpacking.
The golden paper needs time to soften, otherwise it will wrinkle on the wall and only partially smooth out again.
Apply a generous amount of clear, clean water to the back of the sheet using a sponge – the soaking time is approx. 7-10 minutes.
During the soaking time, the wallpaper backing must be kept permanently moist.

Mark the first track vertically.
Apply a thick and even layer of paste to the surface to be wallpapered using a short pile roller and a brush in the corners.
Insert the soaked golden paper into the adhesive bed starting from the top.
Press on the sheets with a rubber roller without bubbles or creases.
Cut off any excess, e.g. on the ceiling or floor, using a wallpaper ruler and cutter knife.

Apply the adhesive for the second sheet to be laid.
Each strip overlaps the previous one by approx. 2cm.
Observe the edge tolerance of 1-2 mm.
Use a wallpapering rail or a long ruler to cut through both strips at the same time so that they lie together on the seam.
Press the rail or ruler down firmly and use a sharp blade to prevent the soaked strips from tearing when cutting.
Then press on with a seam roller.
Alternative: Cut the sheets exactly to the side and glue them together.

Dab off paste stains on the surface with a dry cloth (light products with low material application) or a damp cloth (products with a high fibre and binder content).
When drying, it is important to keep the windows closed and not to heat excessively. The optimum temperature is 18 to 22 °C without draughts.
After the wallpaper has dried, remove any detached natural fibres with a dry cloth or soft brush. The possible detachment of the fibres is due to the absorption of the adhesive moisture and is a natural behaviour.

Peel off the wallpaper and remove any residue with a spatula or scraper.
Tip: Cut the wallpaper into strips beforehand to make it easier to remove (pre-treat with water and wallpaper remover if necessary).

Store the product in closed, dry rooms at normal temperatures (approx. 20°C, 30-60% relative humidity) protected from light.
Roll goods: hanging storage system (e.g. paternoster)
Single decks: horizontal position (e.g. drawer system)

Any deviations and/or defects in the goods must be reported to ORGANOID immediately in writing. Please check whether the delivery has any deviations and/or defects before installation.
Natural surfaces from ORGANOID consist of natural plant fibres, which is why individual products of the same type may differ slightly in colour, smell or fibre composition.
Dimensional deviations of up to +/- 2% are technically unavoidable with these natural products. Minor deviations in the area of these biological characteristics therefore do not constitute defects and do not provide a basis for warranty claims.
