How do I apply forwalls decals?
Applying your new wall decal
Preparation is the key - plan your layout.
For the larger decals – a second pair of hands will be very useful.
Wipe over surface with a dry clean cloth to ensure there is no dirt or dust.
It is then as simple as “peel & stick” – once you have found your ideal surface and planned your layout.
Simply peel the design from the backing, place on the wall and work in a diagonal direction from top to bottom applying firm pressure in a rubbing motion for 10 seconds.
Smooth out any air bubbles by directing them to the edges.
Apply extra pressure to edges to stop any lifting.

Preparation is the key - plan your layout.
Clean the surface before application and allow to dry.
Peel off the white backing material and apply.
Smooth out any air bubbles with a soft cloth or the palm of your hand. Small bubbles that won’t shift will most likely disappear once the sun warms your window.
If your window decal is in the wrong place or you change your mind, simply peel it off and try again.
A credit card works well to lift the initial edge when removing or repositioning
Window decals can be moved and repositioned as often as your like!
Why won't my wall decals stick sometimes?
There can be many reasons why wall decals won’t stay put – some of the known causes are:
Wall preparation – the wall has not been properly cleaned or dry before applying the decal.
Wall surface – our decals will not adhere to cloth, stucco, brick, concrete, cement render or similar uneven surfaces including some wall papers. These surfaces are not completely smooth and unfortunately this does not allow for sufficient smooth surface area for the decal to adhere to
Overhandling – preparation, preparation, preparation that is the key when applying your new decal – each time you remove it from the wall or handle the adhesive, you could be reducing the affectiveness of the adhesive.
Newly painted - you need to allow for 3 weeks after painting before putting your decal up.
Paint choice – Wash & Wear, Teflon and Silicone paints are designed for easy cleaning and to repel anything from sticking to them (like sticky little fingers). Unfortunately this means that some of them will also reject the adhesive used for removeable wall decals.
However we have found that with a little bit more persistence, this problem can in most cases be over come. Simply apply more pressure more often to the decal once you have applied it to the wall. Rub over the decal each day for the first week or so. We cannot guarantee this will work for all paint types as we have no control over site conditions and paint quality.
Room Temperature – if your room suffers from extreme temperature changes – particularly heat, this can sometimes cause the adhesive to become soft and cause lifting.
None of the above? - as we cannot control or know every type of site condition or paint quality the fact is this can happen.
How do I remove the decals?
Slowly peel off the decal by gently pulling away from the wall.
If the decal offers any resistance, gently warm it with a hairdryer set on LOW and the continue peeling.
