FAQs
Can I use this on a bathroom vanity?
Yes, it is moisture-resistant, but ensure the surface is perfectly sealed and dry before application to prevent water from getting behind the film.
Will this leave a residue when removed?
Generally, it peels off cleanly, but any minor adhesive residue can be removed with a mild solvent or warm soapy water.
Can I apply this over textured surfaces?
It is designed for smooth, flat surfaces. Textured surfaces will prevent a proper seal and cause the film to lift over time.
Is the film heat resistant?
It is not heat-proof. Avoid placing hot pans or appliances directly onto the film.
How many rolls do I need for a standard kitchen?
Measure the total surface area in square meters. Since one roll covers 6.75 square meters, divide your total area by this number and add an extra 10-15% for waste.
Troubleshooting
Film not sticking well to the surface
Ensure the surface is completely clean and free of grease, dust, or moisture before applying.
Air bubbles trapped under the film
Use a squeegee to push bubbles to the edge, or prick the bubble with a needle and press down.
Film pulling away at the corners
Use a hair dryer on a low setting to warm the vinyl slightly, making it more pliable to wrap around edges securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your surface, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned with a degreaser and completely dry before application. Measure the surface area and cut the film to size, leaving an extra 2-3cm overlap for trimming. When applying, peel back the backing paper gradually while smoothing the film down from the center outwards. If you encounter trapped air, a tiny pinprick can help release the bubble. To maintain the film, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive chemicals that could scratch the finish.
