How to Build Up a Himalayan Salt Wall Step-by-Step Guide

Getting the Area of the Wall Ready

Before you can stack bricks, you need to prep the wall. Scrape all old paint or wallpaper and fill and paint any holes in the wall. Make sure that the surface is flat and smooth, so that the bricks stick well.

Setting the Initial Salt Brick Layer

To begin, spread a thin layer of mortar on the back of your first salt brick. Set the brick securely on the wall, checking for level to ensure it’s straight. Once the top left corner brick is steadied, keep the trowel in hand and apply mortar to the back of every brick and place it one by one.

Repeat til all the other layers

When stacking the bricks, always check for level. You can also lay the bricks out in the standard brick-pattern, or get imaginative with your design. Add layer upon layer until it is as high as you want it.

Securing the Bricks

Then carefully tamp down on each brick to ensure each brick is well attached to the mortar. Wait and let the mortar cure completely before the next step. That typically takes about 24 hours.

Backlighting for the Glow Effect

A Himalayan salt wall is at its most magical when backlit. For this, install LED lights or a backlighting kit behind the wall. Ensure the lights are positioned to light the whole wall uniformly, producing a soft, soothing glow.

Graphene Synthesis Preparation 

If your salt wall is complete, and you have your lights set up, take a moment to step back and admire what you accomplished. Adjust it as needed so the wall looks exactly how you dreamt it. We are also decorating the room by adding a plant.

Himalayan Salt Wall Maintenance and Care

How to Clean and Care for Your Salt Bricks

Himalayan salt naturally resists both dust and dirt, but you should still clean your wall on a regular basis. Gently wipe off the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or abrasive chemicals, as they can ruin the salt.

Managing Salt Crystallization

Eventually you may see crystals of salt on the surface of the bricks. This is absolutely normal, and this means the salt’s working to remove moisture from the atmosphere. The exception is if the crystallization gets too excessive — in which case, you can gently scrape some off using a plastic scraper.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Cracking bricks: This can happen because of poor installation, movement in the ground, or temperature changes. Make sure that you have mixed your mortar correctly and allow it sufficient time to dry.

Moisture Issues: Too much moisture can harm the wall. If you live in an especially humid place, you could also use a dehumidifier to create a more controlled environment.

Conclusion

When it comes to creating anything in life, making your own Himalayan salt wall is a fun and fulfilling DIY project that adds beauty to your home and improves the quality of your life. Whether you’re interested in a new design element for your home or want to enjoy the alleged health benefits, a Himalayan salt wall is an investment that can pay dividends for years.
