Installation & Care Guide
Welcome to the Luxor Starr family. To ensure your premium wall art, murals, and illuminated pieces remain in pristine condition for years to come, please follow this comprehensive guide for installation and ongoing care.
1. Installation Instructions
Wall Art & Murals
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust or grease before application.
- Alignment: Use a level and pencil to mark the placement. For multi-panel murals, lay the pieces out on the floor first to verify the sequence.
- Adhesive: Use only the recommended professional-grade wallpaper paste for our murals to prevent peeling or damage to the print.
Illuminated Backlit Artwork
- Mounting: Use the provided heavy-duty mounting brackets. Ensure they are anchored into wall studs or use appropriate high-load drywall anchors.
- Electrical: Connect the provided power adapter to a standard outlet. Ensure the cable is tucked neatly behind the frame or within a cable management channel for a clean look.
2. Care & Maintenance
Cleaning Your Artwork
- Dusting: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently remove dust. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
- Moisture: For acrylic or metal prints, a slightly damp (not wet) cloth can be used. Never spray cleaning agents directly onto the artwork.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not use glass cleaners, bleach, or solvent-based cleaners, as these can degrade the inks and protective coatings.
Environmental Considerations
- Direct Sunlight: While our prints use UV-resistant inks, prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight may cause gradual fading over many years. Position your art away from direct window glare where possible.
- Humidity: Maintain a stable indoor environment. Extreme humidity or temperature fluctuations can affect the tension of canvases or the adhesive of murals.
