Prepare your walls


Before applying SeaStone Flex, your walls must be prepared first. Taking the time to get your walls ready will make the job so much easier! If you haven't already, read our wall preparation guide.

Start right


Your wallpaper project will be a success if the very first SeaStone Flex run is hung straight. To get it right, measure the width of your backdrop and subtract 1.5cm from that. Measure and mark this distance from your starting point (a corner or doorway). Draw a vertical line using a spirit level or a simple tool called a plumb line, which can be found at any hardware store.

For your plumb bob, attach the weight to one end of the cord and rub the cord with chalk. Secure the line in place on the wall and drop the weight just above the floor or baseboard. When the weight stops swinging, grab the bottom of the cord and hold it tight. With your other hand, pull the cord away from the wall and release it. This chalk line is your starting point.

"Prepare wall"

Make sure the wall is primed with SeaStone adhesive primer or dealer. When it is dry, apply the SeaStone Flex( ) adhesive. You do this with a block brush or fleece roller. The glue can be applied liberally and let it set for a few minutes. When you prepare the SeaStone glue, you add 3 liters of water to 200 grams, with this you work 15-20m2. We've added a pigment to the glue so you can see exactly where you left off. Important: The day before, leave the SeaStone concrete rolls unrolled in the room where they will be installed so that they can get used to the ambient temperature.

"SeaStone Flex Places."

After you have let the glue soak in for a while, you can start sticking the first strip of SeaStone Flex. You use the set up (chalk) plumb line or the line that you set up with a spirit level as a guide. Tighten the sides against the plumb line and guide the track down the plumb line, making sure the top sticks. With the plastic trowel you can chip the full surface into the glue. Do this carefully and with control. Grab the roller to gently maneuver any air or glue outwards.

Use the spatula (trimmer) and cutting tool to trim off the excess paper at the top and bottom of the web. Move both tools at the same time for an even cut. Sponge the entire strip, including the woodwork and ceiling, to remove excess glue (be sure to rinse the sponge with clean water after each use). Continue to the next lane, don't overlap the seams!
