INSTRUCTIONS / TIPS

WALLPAPERS - APPLYING METHOD

To make the applying process easy, the first line of the wallpaper or the wall mural is best placed on the wall with a level or plumb line - so that the next ones are completely straight and even. We always start wallpapering from the window, i.e. the light source. We connect the wallpaper strips abut - so that the edges of the two strips fit exactly to each other (no shifts or overlapping). Detailed instructions on how to install our wallpapers can be found here on our website , we also attach it to each of our products.

HOW TO STICK PICTURES TO THE WALL?

In order to avoid drilling holes in the wall, you can attach the picture to the wall with Velcro or hanging tapes. There is a lot of these products available on the market, offered by various brands, such as Command or Tesa. When choosing it, pay attention to the marking of the permissible image weight. This information and assembly instructions are available on the product and the manufacturer's website.

CAN I STICK A WALLPAPER OR A WALL MURAL ON A ROUGH TEXTURED WALL?

The rough structure of the wall will be visible under the wallpaper or wall mural - therefore it is not recommended to stick them on such a wall. In addition, the uneven surface makes installation difficult and prevents the product from adhering perfectly to the wall. For the best effect, we recommend installing wallpapers and wall murals only on smooth, dust-free, clean and bright walls.

HOW TO HANG PICTURES ON THE WALL?

We recommend using hooks and nails to mount paintings on the wall. We also recommend using one hook / nail for approx. 40 cm of the width of the painting.

HOW TO PROTECT A PAINTING ON CANVAS?

It's better to add the "UV printing" option to ordinary printing - to provide your canvas print with additional protection against harmful factors. We also encourage you to purchase the painting in the premium print option: the surface of the product will then be covered with a colorless acrylic gel, thanks to which the pigments will retain their intensity for longer and will be protected against moisture and UV radiation. In the case of hand-made paintings, we recommend the use of a protective varnish (available on our website, as an additional accessory to the product).

HOW TO HANG POSTERS ON THE WALL?

Hooks are already on the back of every framed or passe-partout poster in our offer. So all you need is a couple of nails to put them on the wall.

WHAT GLUE SHOULD BE USED TO STICK THE WALLPAPER / WALL MURAL?

The best answer to that question would be an adhesive adapted to non-woven wallpapers, Metylan Direct glue, made by Henkel. If you do not wish to buy wallpaper glue separately, we recommend choosing our glue as an accessory when buying wallpaper or wall mural in our store.

HOW DO I HANG A MULTI-PART IMAGE?

It's best to start with the central part of the picture, then add parts of the picture to the left and right. It is best to keep a distance of approx. 2 cm between the individual parts of the image - then we will get the best visual effect and the pattern will be properly composed. When arranging individual parts of multi-part pictures, remember that the pattern of the picture should be distributed symmetrically both horizontally and vertically. Now, in order to make your work easier, we recommend drawing the properly arranged parts of the image on paper and marking the places where the nails should be located - and then transfer the template to the wall.

HOW MUCH GLUE DO I NEED TO BUY? THERE IS ONLY "1 POUCH TO BUY" ON THE WEBSITE.

You must add glue once for each item purchased. The bimago system will automatically calculate the required amount of glue based on the size of the selected photo wallpaper.

HOW MUCH DOES THE WALL MURAL INSTALATION COST?

Our company does not provide assembly services, so we do not have our own price list. However, when it comes to the prices of installing a wall murals by professionals, they can be significantly different depending on where you live in.

WHO FRAMES PAINTINGS?

Our paintings on canvas do not need an additional external frame - each canvas is stretched on a wooden subframe, to which you just need to attach a hook. If necessary, you can frame the picture in an additional external frame - which you can easily find on the market.

WHAT FRAME FOR THE CANVAS PAINTING?

Our paintings consist of canvas stretched on a wooden subframe. Such a product is ready to hang, so it does not need an additional frame.

HOW TO FRAME A PAINTING ON CANVAS?

HOW TO STICK A POSTER TO THE WALL?

All you need to do is place our posters in a selected frame or in a passe-partout frame and hang the finished picture on the wall, on a nail or a hook. However, if you do not want to make a hole in the wall, the poster (with or without a frame) can also be hung using generally available fixing accessories, such as self-adhesive Velcro or hooks (e.g. from Tesa). They have the advantage that they are non-invasive, do not damage the wall, and often have an additional adjustment, thanks to which pictures or posters can be hung at a different or equal height (if sticking does not come out perfectly even). There are also self-adhesive plasters on the market (e.g. Tesa brands) - ideal for attaching, for example, a calendar or a gallery of posters in a living room, bedroom, dining room, study, office, corridor, hall, living room or children's room.

HOW DO I CLEAN A CANVAS PAINTING?

We clean the paintings on the canvas with a clean, soft, slightly wet cloth. We do not recommend using any detergents for this purpose - they can irreversibly damage the fabric.

PICTURES - HOW TO HANG THEM?

Pictures will look best in the center of the wall and basically, they should be narrower than the piece of furniture they are hanging over them. It is best to hang the painting on canvas about 20-30 cm above the furniture - or at the eye level.

WHAT IS THE RIGHT PROPORTION OF A TABLECLOTH TO A TABLE?

The optimal and recommended length of the tablecloth overhang is approx. 20-25 cm. Shorter overhangs (e.g. 10-15 cm) are recommended for decorative benches and tables, when we do not want the tablecloth to cover the decorations on the legs of our furniture. With the right interior style, you can also afford a tablecloth right down to the ground.

WHAT KIND OF GLUE IS BEST FOR A WALL MURAL?

We recommend that you buy a wall mural together with our bimago glue, available as an accessory. If, on the other hand, you decide to purchase glue elsewhere, please choose the type that is dedicated to non-woven wallpapers, such as Henkel's Metylan Direct.

WILL THE WALLPAPER STICK TO THE TILES?

The problem may not be the wallpaper application itself, but the ubiquitous water and humidity. They will certainly contribute to the fact that the wallpaper will deteriorate and peel off the tiles. Our products, such as wallpapers and wall murals, are intended only for use in rooms with medium and low humidity, such as a living room, bedroom, kitchen, corridor, hall, living room, children's room, or office.

HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE BEFORE THE WALLPAPER IS DRY?

The drying process of the wallpaper (more precisely: wallpaper glue) consists in the evaporation of water. Normally it takes 24 hours, in extreme cases up to 72 hours, depending on the temperature and humidity of the room. The optimal conditions for drying the wallpaper are a constant temperature between 18 ° C and 25 ° C.

WALL MURAL - HOW TO STICK IT?

Before installing the product, you should prepare all the necessary equipment like a brush for applying glue, a sharp knife, a clean cloth, a vessel for mixing the glue and a roller for pressing a wall mural (an ATM card will also work well for this purpose). After cutting the product into strips, we glue one strip next to the other (butt, not overlapping). The belts are numbered and marked with arrows that indicate the direction of installation. We stick the photo wallpaper, starting from the top, move evenly towards the floor, constantly pressing the photo wallpaper against the wall with a roller. When gluing wall murals, you should also remember about the need to remove excess glue on a regular basis. We do it with a clean and slightly wet cloth. Important! The glue is applied directly on the wall, not on the wall paper. You can find detailed installation instructions for our wall murals on our website , we also attach it to each of our products.

HOW MUCH GLUE IS NEEDED TO STICK THE WALLPAPER?

When buying wallpaper glue together with a wall mural, as an accessory on our website, it is enough to simply add the glue to the basket once. We will do the math and send the appropriate amount of glue - adapted to the selected size of the photo wallpaper. If, on the other hand, you decide to buy the glue elsewhere (eg in a DIY store or a specialist store), please read the instructions attached to the purchased glue - there will be given the exact glue capacity per m² of wallpaper.

IS NON-WOVEN WALLPAPER WASHABLE?

Non-woven wallpaper is moderately resistant to moisture and scrubbing. You can wipe it with a wet cloth, but do not soak for too long.

DO WE APPLY GLUE ON VINYL WALLPAPERS?

Our offer does not include vinyl wallpapers, but there are non-woven wallpapers (for which we also offer glue) and self-adhesive wallpapers (not requiring the use of glue).

CAN THE WALLPAPER BE PAINTED?

We recommend that you remove any old wall murals or wallpapers before painting the walls. If the wall mural or wallpaper does not want to peel off, you can make your work easier with a special wallpaper removal agent. After this treatment, the wall surface must be washed and primed.

CAN CURTAINS LIE PARTIALY ON THE FLOOR?

Curtains can lie on the floor, however, as a rule, we choose one of three lengths: just below the sill line, to the window sill or to the floor.

SHOULD THE CURTAINS BE ON THE FLOOR?

Curtains reaching the floor or (which can look nice) leaning against it, keep the right proportions of the room. In this case, the material should be approx. 20-30 cm longer than the height at which the curtain rod is mounted. Such a length of the curtains sits well in classic interiors.

DO YOU PROVIDE ASSEMBLY SERVICES?

Due to the fact that bimago specializes in online sales operating globally, we do not provide dedicated assembly services. The application of our wallpapers and wall murals is quite simple - the installation can be of course performed by a professional, but doing it on your own won't be a hassle. If the wall is prepared and we have all the necessary tools, the assembly will go smoothly and quickly. Each wallpaper comes with an assembly manual, and you can find a lot of tips and instructions on how to fix canvas, framed posters or wallpaper on our website and blog. We can assume that sticking 10-15 m² of wallpaper and protecting the room against dirt, measuring the wallpaper according to the design, gluing and cleaning the workplace takes about 2 hours. You can also choose a wallpaper or a self-adhesive wall mural on bimago shop, the installation of which is quick and easy.

ARE WALLPAPERS TRENDY AGAIN?

Although they have been known in interior design for years, wallpapers still remain one of the most fashionable decorative elements, and many interior designers use them to base their entire projects. Currently, wallpapers are experiencing a renaissance and a come back thanks to innovative, modern designs that look beautiful in our interiors! Wallpapers are an arrangement solution that is perfect for quick, inexpensive, and at the same time spectacular interior metamorphoses, and the wide selection of available patterns and colors makes it easy to match the wallpaper theme to the selected style, e.g. Scandinavian, boho, vintage, retro or glamour.

WHAT IS A PREMIUM PRINT? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PREMIUM PRINT AND THE REGULAR PRINT?

Our proprietary premium technique consists in manually applying a Spanish acrylic gel to the finished print, which resebles marks of brush. Thanks to it, the canvas gains structure and the whole thing gains a depth effect, reminiscent of an oil painting. The gel applied to the printout has one more advantage: it protects the canvas. Thanks to it, pigments retain their intensity longer and are protected against moisture and UV radiation.

DO YOU MAKE WALL MURALS AND PAINTINGS IN CUSTOMISED SIZES?

Our products are available only in sizes available on our website. For most of them, however, there is a lot to choose from, and some themes are also available in very large sizes (as folded images). When it comes to wall murals - each pattern is available in several size variants, given on the website. Even if the size of your wall is different, it is usually not a problem: just choose a wallpaper or photo wallpaper format slightly larger than the wall you want to cover with the wallpaper - and then, when applying, cut off the excess wall mural on the sides or at the top and bottom. Unfortunately, we do not offer wall murals to the exact given size.

ARE THE PAINTINGS READY TO HANG OR DO THEY HAVE A FRAME?

Our paintings have a wooden subframe, so they are ready to hang and do not require an additional external frame. To make it easier to hang a painting on the wall, we recommend using mounting accessories (nails and hooks from bimago, which can be purchased directly on the e-shop website, for each painting).

WALL MURALS WITH A THEME TAKEN FORM YOUR PHOTO?

We do not print wall mural designs based on photos sent by customers - unfortunately such personalization is not possible.

POSTER - WHAT IS IT?

A poster is just another type of utility graphics, printed in large format on a suitable paper. The poster is a visual symbol that transmits a message to us, contained in a surprising, engaging, easy to remember form, affecting not only the senses, but also the intellect. In other words: it is a large-format print in which the graphics play the most important role. At bimago, you can choose a poster, a poster in a frame or a poster in a frame with a passe-partout from among thousands of modern designs.

WHERE COULD I PRINT A POSTER?
