DOS AND DON'TS WHEN USING DECORATION FLOOR AND WALL STICKERS
About Bade Newby Are you looking for a new way to decorate your room, office, or workspace besides the conventional wall paint? Planning on putting up signs, graphics, and advertisements but your space isn’t just enough? Then, you might be interested in trying decoration wall and floor stickers. Applying wall and floor stickers are not as hard as it sounds. Here are some dos and don’ts that you need to remember when applying wall, floor, and window stickers:
Dos Select a perfect space for you to use a sticker - an empty wall needing a
fresh look, the floor entrance with a flat surface, or the glass window of your store.
Take the measurements of the selected surface first, and then find the right
sticker size that fits.
Make sure the sticker is suitable for the type of surface where you want to
install it.
Clean the selected surface you intend to apply a sticker to use a sponge and
soap.
Draw guidelines for the position, if possible, to avoid mistakes in placing
the sticker. When the adhesive side is already removed, then place the sticker as close as you can with the guidelines.
Dos Using a squeegee or a straight ruler, start from the middle of the sticker
and then outward to the edges in smoothing out and removing the air bubbles. Dampen the paper backing of the sticker (the one protecting the face of
the sticker), if you have trouble removing it. You can clean the applied floor, wall, and window stickers with mild
soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that may dissolve the plastic laminate of the sticker. You can use a clear adherent to seal your decoration sticker to preserve
it longer.
Don’ts Don’t choose or avoid floor and wall surfaces with cracks or bumps. Don’t place the edges of your sticker along with a tile edge and grout of
floor joint. Don’t put a sticker on a damp surface. Make sure the surface is dry
before applying the sticker. Don’t use glass and hard-surface cleaners when cleaning the windows
for sticker application, since it may prevent the sticker from adhering well. Don’t push the squeegee or ruler too hard in smoothing out the air bubbles; this may scratch the sticker itself.
Don’ts Don’t apply the sticker to a freshly painted concrete floor/wall and
those surfaces with the newly applied protective coating. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendation or wait for a few weeks for it to be completely cured before putting the decoration sticker. Don’t use a hairdryer after successful application of the sticker. This
will only loosen the adhesive bond between the sticker and the surface.
That’s it! You can now start applying decoration stickers successfully on your own just by following these simple tips and tricks when using decoration stickers for your home makeover!
