UV Decor Protection & Care

How to keep your UV decor safe, protected and lasting 🕸️

💧 Waterproofing

Some of our UV decoration listings automatically come with a coating of gloss varnish spray. Otherwise if not, you will be given the option to select it as an add-on if deemed necessary.

If selected, our gloss varnish spray is applied at the end of the creation process and is designed to make the UV paints last longer. It protects and preserves the life expectancy of the glow, and also acts as a semi-waterproof coating for outside use. However we still strongly advise against heavy exposure to water, as the paints are water based and may fade.

Designed to give you temporary piece of mind when installing outside, or indoors where the humidity levels will be high.

🔥 Fire Retardancy

We cut directly from the roll which comes straight from our manufacturer, meaning that our UV fabrics are not flame proof. Depending on your use of this product you may require flame proofing of the material as a buyer’s responsibility and for peace of mind.

You can choose to select this when ordering, meaning that it will be lightly sprayed with Flametect Nitro spray before we ship it out to you.

The treatment is specifically for synthetic textiles and is both water based and skin safe. It has a neutral PH that doesn’t contain corrosive ammonium polyphosphate and is also machine washable up to 10 cycles with the treatment on.

More information on how it reaches the relevant British standards can be found on the certificate which is supplied with each order. Or for more information, please visit: https://www.fireproofspray.co.uk/

🕸️ Stretching & Installation Guide

Step 1: Plan Your Layout

Before fixing anything in place, hold the web up and decide how you want it to flow.

UV webs look best when stretched unevenly and organically rather than perfectly square. Think spiderweb shapes, angled pulls and layered depth.

Step 2: Understand the Stretch

Your web will comfortably stretch up to 0.5m beyond the listed size.

Avoid pulling too hard from just the corners. Instead, spread the tension across multiple points around the web for a stronger, more balanced look.

Important note: Our bespoke painted range is less stretchy due to the dye used. Stretch gently and gradually with these designs.

Step 3: Choose Your Fixings

You can install your UV web using a variety of fixing methods depending on your space:

  • Command hooks
  • Small nails or pins
  • Cable ties
  • Tent pegs for outdoor setups

Always make sure fixings are secure but easy to remove if needed.

Step 4: Anchor the First Points

Start by securing one or two anchor points, ideally not opposite corners.

This gives you a base to work from and helps prevent over stretching too early.

Pull the web lightly and evenly as you go.

Step 5: Stretch Gradually & Creatively

Work your way around the web, adding more stretch points as you go.

Use different sections of the web to create varied tension and shape.

Best results come from:

  • Multiple stretch points
  • Uneven angles

This creates a fuller, more immersive psychedelic effect.

Step 6: Adjust & Layer

Step back and look at your setup.

Reposition any points that feel too tight or too loose.

For maximum impact, layer multiple webs or combine with:

  • UV tapestries
  • LED lights
  • Inflatable decor
  • Hanging decor

Step 7: Final Check

Once you’re happy with the look, double check all fixings are secure and evenly tensioned.

Your web should feel stretched but not strained.
