Remove the sliding door and clean the surface.

Remove the door from the sliding track, and use a tightly-wrung cloth to wipe away any dust or dirt from the surface where the sheet will be applied. After cleaning, allow the surface to dry completely.

Remove the sliding door handle.

Insert a flathead screwdriver or small pry bar to detach the handle.
*If it is secured using nails, first use pliers to remove them.

Peel back a small section of the backing paper and properly position it over the sliding door.

Peel back about 10cm of the backing paper, make a crease, and then return it to its original position. After properly positioning the sheet over the surface you want to cover, adhere the portion from which you peeled back the backing paper.

Key Point :
Position carefully for the best results!

Once adhered to the surface, the sheet cannot be removed, so be sure to position it carefully.

Peel off the backing paper little by little, applying it to the surface as you go.

While slowly peeling off the backing paper, smooth the sheet onto the surface from the center outward to force out any trapped air. Use a squeegee to press down firmly, working carefully from one edge of the sliding door.

Key Point :
Press firmly to prevent lifting!

If insufficient pressure is applied, parts of the sheet may begin to lift after several days.

Trim off any excess portions of the sheet extending beyond the door.

After fully applying the fusuma sheet, run a squeegee firmly along the edge where the sheet meets the sliding door frame to create a clean crease, then cut along the crease using a utility knife. After trimming, go over the edge again with the squeegee, pressing down firmly to ensure a smooth, secure finish.

Make a cut for the handle and reattach.

Make a cut matching the inner diameter of the handle hole (or an X-shaped cut if the handle is square), and use a utility knife to trim away any excess portions of the sheet around the edge of the hole.
Reattach the handle and enjoy your renewed Japanese sliding door!
