How to protect a photographic mural/wallpaper?

[franch]

I have read about varnish for wallpaper, but as I am investing in a photographic mural/wallpaper which will go next to the kitchen table, will we need something more heavy duty? I thought about a layer of perspex or something (we used to have a panel of this next to our dog's basket when I was a child), but that may be OTT and maybe too big an area?

Anyone?

Hello

yes I think a thin perspex would be ideal.

I would like some wallpaper varnish, can I ask you about that please!?

Ours is quite fragile paper and gets marked a lot in the dining room.

What is your photo by the way, sounds v exciting!

Thanks crazy! The wallpaper varnish is called Polyvine I think.

I'm getting the photo wallpaper mural thingy from Surface View - one of the grassy ones, as the kitchen table is right next to French doors out into the garden

Wow, they are stunning aren't they?

Polyvine, will ask about it at our local shop. Thankyou

Pleasure - let me know how you get on

these are amazing! I love the trees and the woodland ones, and the pink blossom!

Are you fitting it yourself franch, or are they going to do it for you?

Those are fantastic. I don't think that you would need a varnish as it does say that they are sealed. My greatest concern, particularly due to the fact that it is a photographic mural, is UV protection. There are some UV protection perspex, but based on experience, they are just OK in performance (as I unfortunately discovered). They perform adequately if the image is in a partially exposed spot, but not a very exposed one.
