The Medina wallpaper has an offset match repeat of 64/32cm. When hanging the second and subsequent strips, align the pattern from the new strip with the pattern on the previously hung strip, ensuring the vertical repeat is 64cm and the horizontal repeat is 32cm. Use a spirit level to ensure the first strip is perfectly vertical.
The wallpaper is washable and has good lightfastness, making it suitable for general interior use. However, kitchens can experience high humidity and potential grease splatter. While it can be cleaned, it's best used in areas without direct, prolonged exposure to steam or heavy grease, or consider additional ventilation and sealing.
The wallpaper is washable. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away marks. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
'Wet removable' means that when you are ready to redecorate, the wallpaper can be removed by soaking it with water. This generally makes the removal process easier and helps to minimize damage to the underlying wall surface.
It is generally recommended to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper for the best results and adhesion. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and sound. If hanging over existing wallpaper, ensure it is well-adhered, non-vinyl, and has a perfectly flat surface.
Batch numbers ensure that all rolls of wallpaper come from the same manufacturing run. This guarantees consistent color and finish across all rolls. Using rolls from different batch numbers can result in noticeable color variations.
For paste-the-paper application, use a high-quality, pre-mixed or powder adhesive specifically designed for standard wallpaper. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
Gently smooth out bubbles towards the nearest edge using a wallpaper smoothing tool or a clean cloth while the paste is still wet. If the paste has dried, carefully lift the edge and reapply paste to the wall and paper, then smooth again.
Check that you are using the correct offset match (64/32cm). Ensure the previous strip was hung perfectly straight using a spirit level. Trim and adjust the current strip carefully to match the pattern of the adjacent strip.
Ensure the correct type of wallpaper paste for this material has been used and applied evenly to the paper. The wall surface should also be properly prepared (clean, dry, and potentially primed). Allow adequate paste soaking time as per adhesive instructions.
Verify that all rolls used are from the same batch number. If different batch numbers were inadvertently mixed, contact the retailer immediately as this indicates a manufacturing variance.
Application Method: This wallpaper utilizes the paste-the-paper method. This means you will apply wallpaper paste directly to the back of the paper before hanging.
Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper or loose paint. A primer may be beneficial for optimal adhesion.
Pattern Matching: The wallpaper has an offset match with a repeat of 64cm vertically and 32cm horizontally. Carefully align subsequent strips to ensure the pattern matches across seams. It is crucial to ensure all rolls ordered together are from the same batch number to guarantee color consistency. Batch numbers are typically found on the product label.
Tools Required: Wallpaper adhesive, paste brush or roller, smoothing tool, sharp trimming knife, straight edge, measuring tape, and a spirit level.
Care: The Medina wallpaper is washable. To clean, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Ensure the surface is allowed to dry thoroughly.
Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls. Avoid direct prolonged contact with water or excessive humidity. For areas like bathrooms or kitchens, test in an inconspicuous area or consider additional sealing if necessary.
