How to apply contact paper on kitchen appliances

Kitchen contact paper is simple to install and with a little care, wonderful-looking results are simple to achieve. Remember, do not remove the backing until you’re ready to stick it down. Like in any other task make sure you have the necessary tools beforehand. But the most important tool is a putty knife.

Kitchen contact paper is self-adhesive, and therefore tear off the adhesive backing and stick it on any flat and dry surface. But before you do that make sure that the surface of the appliance you want to apply on is clean. Super clean for best adhesive.

Preparation

Remove any loose particles, dust, oil, wax, or other contaminants by cleaning with a good kitchen soap. Then dry the appliance surface thoroughly before installing your decorative paper.

You can unroll and place the new liners pattern side-up in sunlight for a few minutes if needed to make them more pliable. And for large appliances, you may want to use masking small weight to hold the paper in place.

The actual application

Now you are ready for the actual application. At this stage, expose a small strip of adhesive, without disturbing the alignment. Then lift an edge of the liner and peel back a small strip of the backing and crease it back onto itself so the adhesive is exposed. Replace the lifted edge of the liner with the contact area down.

Apply pressure with your hand, cloth, or any soft material to apply exposed liner to the surface Check final alignment and then apply light pressure with your thumb or finger over the section with exposed adhesive. Use moderate pressure with the soft edge of the hand squeegee to gently smooth the contact area.

Work only from the center towards the edges. This will ensure any trapped air bubbles are expressed. If an air bubble is trapped, lift the edge of the liner and move the air bubble to the perimeter with the squeegee.

Continue to remove backing in small segments and the contact area should hold quickly. Peel back the liner to expose a new area of adhesive. Continue until all the backing is removed.

Installing on kitchen cabinets, & other furniture

At Wallpaper Kenya, you will find adhesive vinyl kitchen contact paper in solid colors, as well as different patterns suitable for furniture. For example, those that imitate wood, marble, granite, floral, etc. If you have never lined with vinyl, it is recommended to start with a solid color. Because it is easier to fit and square than a patterned one. Otherwise, ask an expert to do it for you.

As with all tasks, preparation is key to the success of your project. But it is simple, and in most cases, enough to clean the furniture with cleaning alcohol. Then peel off the protective paper and stick the vinyl on the surface. In this way, optimal adherence will be obtained.
