FAQs
What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?
The Galerie Earth Aged Concrete Wallpaper has a 32cm pattern repeat.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is washable and durable, it is not specifically rated for high-moisture environments like a bathroom. For best results, ensure good ventilation or consider a specialized bathroom wallpaper.
How do I prepare my walls before applying this wallpaper?
Walls should be clean, dry, smooth, and free from any loose paint or old wallpaper. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. A primer suitable for non-woven wallpapers is recommended.
Can I hang this wallpaper myself?
Yes, with careful attention to the instructions, particularly regarding pattern matching and adhesive application, this non-woven wallpaper is suitable for DIY application.
What is the 'subtle emboss' feature?
The subtle emboss refers to a slight raised texture on the wallpaper's surface that adds a tactile quality and visual depth, enhancing the aged concrete effect.
What does 'dry strippable' mean?
'Dry strippable' means that when you wish to remove the wallpaper, it should peel off the wall in large, dry sections without requiring excessive soaking or scraping, leaving minimal residue.
What is the warranty on this wallpaper?
This wallpaper comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appear during application.
Ensure the adhesive is applied evenly to the wall. Use a wallpaper brush or roller to smooth out bubbles from the center outwards before the adhesive sets.
Pattern doesn't align correctly.
Carefully check the 32cm pattern repeat on each panel. Ensure you are cutting and hanging subsequent panels to match the existing pattern. Double-check measurements before cutting.
Wallpaper is difficult to strip.
While designed to be dry strippable, ensure you are pulling gently and evenly at a low angle. If adhesion is too strong, a wallpaper steamer may be cautiously used, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Stains on the wallpaper.
Use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently wipe the affected area. Do not scrub vigorously. Rinse with a clean damp cloth if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a non-woven wallpaper, meaning you will typically apply adhesive directly to the wall. Ensure your walls are clean, dry, and smooth before starting. Use a recommended wallpaper adhesive suitable for non-woven materials. Measure and cut your panels, paying close attention to the 32cm pattern repeat for alignment. Apply adhesive evenly to the wall and hang the panels, smoothing out any bubbles with a wallpaper brush or roller.
Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls, including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining areas. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture without appropriate sealing, although its washable nature offers some protection. Best used on a well-prepared, sound surface.
Care: To clean, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the textured finish. The wallpaper is washable, so most everyday marks can be removed with care. Ensure the cloth is not overly wet to prevent damage to the paper and underlying adhesive.
