A useful way through
- Identify the wall surface and existing coating. Ask the product manufacturer whether the specified system is suitable for that substrate.
- Read the product’s technical and safety sheets. Agree surface preparation and protection with a competent decorator.
- Approve a representative sample in the actual room. Compare it under the lighting in which the wall will be seen.
- Document the approved product, preparation, finish and area. Keep the sample as a reference during the work and ask for maintenance instructions.

Put it into practice
A sample on loose card can suggest colour, but it cannot prove adhesion or the final appearance on a previously painted wall. A representative on-wall test answers a different and necessary question.
Illustrative example, not a reported client project or test.
