This durable paper is completely waterproof when sealed with a varnished surface and can even be used in a shower cubicle. Ensure the surface is smooth, solid, dry, and thoroughly clean before application.

For non-absorbent surfaces such as ceramic tiles, use our glue and coat the wall before applying the paper. Butt join strips if applying multiple. The paper is easily cut with scissors to fit around sockets. Seal any edges and joins with clear silicone sealant and allow to dry for 24 hours before cleaning at room temperature. Suitable for application on smooth flat ceramic tiles, painted walls, hardboard, plywood, or shower walls. Avoid uneven surfaces like raised tiles, wood panelling, and untreated damp walls.
