FAQs
What is the best way to prepare my walls before applying this wallpaper?
Walls should be thoroughly cleaned with a mild detergent, rinsed, and allowed to dry completely. Any holes or imperfections should be filled and sanded smooth. For optimal adhesion, especially on new drywall, a primer is recommended.
Can this wallpaper be applied over existing wallpaper?
It is generally not recommended to apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over existing wallpaper, especially if it is peeling or textured, as this can affect adhesion and lead to an uneven finish.
How long does the adhesive last?
The adhesive is designed for a secure hold on compatible surfaces and for repositioning during application. Long-term adhesion depends on surface preparation and environmental conditions. It's formulated for temporary or semi-permanent applications.
Is this wallpaper waterproof?
While the material is durable and can be wiped clean, it is not fully waterproof. It should not be used in areas with constant high moisture, such as inside a shower stall.
Can I reposition the wallpaper if I make a mistake?
Yes, this is a key feature of peel-and-stick wallpaper. You can carefully peel it back and reposition it during application, as long as you do so gently and the adhesive has not fully set.
How do I remove the wallpaper when I want to change it?
To remove, gently heat the wallpaper with a hairdryer on a low setting. Slowly peel it off the wall from top to bottom, pulling at a sharp angle. If any residue remains, it can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth or a mild adhesive remover.
What are the dimensions of one roll?
Each roll measures 52 cm wide by 5.49 metres long.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking well
Ensure the wall surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth. Reheat the adhesive gently with a hairdryer on a low setting and reapply pressure. Check for and remove any air bubbles trapped underneath.
Air bubbles or wrinkles appearing
Carefully peel back the affected section of wallpaper. Use a pin to prick any trapped air bubbles, then gently smooth the wallpaper back down with a squeegee or cloth, working from the center outwards.
Difficulty aligning pattern for seams
Cut the wallpaper with a slight overlap at the seam. Use a sharp blade and a straight edge to trim both pieces simultaneously for a clean, professional-looking match.
Wallpaper peeling at edges
Gently heat the edge with a hairdryer on a low setting and press firmly back onto the surface. For persistent peeling, consider using a small amount of wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for peel-and-stick applications on the edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface you intend to apply the wallpaper to is smooth, clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For best results, use a primer on new drywall or uneven surfaces. Measure your wall and cut the wallpaper to size, allowing for a slight overlap. Peel back a small section of the backing paper and align the edge of the wallpaper with the ceiling or corner. Slowly peel off the backing while smoothing the wallpaper onto the wall with a squeegee or soft cloth, working from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles.
Compatibility: This wallpaper is compatible with most smooth, non-porous surfaces, including painted drywall, wood, and glass. It is not recommended for use on textured walls, brick, concrete, or surfaces prone to moisture.
Care: To clean, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the material and its adhesive.
