One of the questions we get most is whether you need to drill the wall. For letters and name plates, you don't. Each piece has double-sided tape on the back and sticks in seconds. For it to go well, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Before you start
- Smooth, dry surface. Painted walls, tiles, glass, lacquered wood and furniture work well. Heavily textured walls, crumbling plaster or wallpaper come loose more easily.
- Fresh paint. If the wall was painted recently, wait for the paint to fully cure before sticking.
- Humidity. Avoid damp walls or bathrooms without ventilation.
Step by step
- Clean the wall. A slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Let it dry.
- Mark the line. With painter's tape or a light pencil, mark a straight line. A spirit level helps.
- Try before sticking. Hold the letters up without removing the film, adjust the spacing and take a photo.
- Stick from the middle out. Start with the middle letter and work outwards. That way the name stays centred.
- Press. Press firmly for a few seconds on each letter.
And to remove them?
Pull the piece slowly, from bottom to top, not straight out. If the tape resists, a warm hairdryer for a few seconds helps loosen it.
What about the hooks?
Wall hooks are different: since they hold weight, they use a screw and wall plug, both included. The star and moon wall plaques stick on with tape, just like the letters.
