Measure with margin
Measure the full surface and add extra material for trimming and pattern matching.
Lativo project guide
Clean lines start with calm preparation.
Take your time with the first panel. The rest of the transformation follows.
Prepare the surface
Remove dust and grease. Fill uneven areas, then let the surface dry completely.
Set the first line
Use a level or plumb line. A straight first panel makes every following panel easier.
Peel gradually
Expose a small section of backing, position the top edge and work downward in stages.
Smooth outward
Use a squeegee from the center toward the edges to release air as you go.
Trim and enjoy
Press corners firmly, trim with a sharp blade and step back for the reveal.
Helpful tools
A small kit makes a cleaner finish.
Keep a tape measure, level, smoothing tool, clean cloth and sharp craft knife within reach before you begin.

Apply only to smooth, clean, dry surfaces. Newly painted walls should cure fully before installation. Test a small hidden area first when the finish is delicate or uncertain.
