Custom murals are made to fit your wall, printed to order, and delivered to you ready for installation.
1. Measuring for a Mural
- Measure the width of the wall at the widest point.
- Measure the height of the wall at the tallest point.
- Add 5cm to both your width and height measurements to allow for cutting and trimming during installation.
- If your wall isn’t perfectly square, always measure at several points (top, middle, bottom for width; left, centre, right for height).
Providing accurate measurements ensures the mural covers the entire wall without gaps.
2. How the Ordering Process Works
- Once you order, the mural is custom printed based on the size you provided.
- Most mural orders do not include a proof unless specifically requested. If you need a proof, contact us before placing your order.
- Lead time: Printing usually takes 3–4 weeks before shipping.
3. Installation Notes
- Murals are supplied in numbered panels (e.g., Panel 1, Panel 2, Panel 3) and must be installed in order.
- Walls should be smooth, clean, and primed before installation.
- We recommend using a lining paper for the best finish, especially on imperfect walls.
- Allow the mural panels to slightly overlap onto adjacent walls if trimming into corners.
4. Return and Refund Policy for Murals
- Because murals are printed specifically for you, they are non-returnable and non-refundable unless they are faulty.
- Double-check your measurements carefully before ordering.
- We cannot accept returns for change of mind, incorrect measurements, or installation mistakes.
5. Materials and Printing
- Most murals are printed on high-quality non-woven wallpaper.
- Paste-the-wall installation method is recommended unless otherwise stated.
- Murals are designed to be durable, easy to hang, and removable when needed.
6. Special Cases
- If you have sloped ceilings, multiple walls, or unusual wall shapes, contact us first for advice.
- We can often help you adjust the design layout for tricky spaces.
