Simply peel off the backing a little bit at a time, stick it to your chosen surface, then smooth it down to eliminate any air bubbles or imperfections. Water-based, low-tack adhesion means you can peel and reposition until it's lined up perfectly, and natural pliability means it'll wrap around worktop edges and doors. For added versatility, though, you can also gently warm it with a hairdryer, which makes it even easier to stretch over your chosen surface.

With a quick scrub afterwards, you'd never know it was there in the first place! Please note: this vinyl is not heat-resistant beyond 75 degrees C, so it should not be used as a splashback behind your hob.

Product Information
Full details
This d-c-fix vinyl wrap is ideal for DIY enthusiasts, renters, and homeowners looking to quickly and affordably update surfaces like kitchen worktops, cupboards, doors, and furniture. Its key benefit is the ease of application and removability, offering a non-permanent way to transform spaces without extensive renovation. A key consideration is its heat resistance limit of 75°C, meaning it's not suitable for areas directly exposed to high heat, such as behind a hob.

FAQs
Can I use this vinyl wrap on a kitchen countertop?
Yes, you can use it on kitchen countertops. It is heat-resistant up to 75°C, suitable for hot cups and plates. However, it should not be used as a direct heat shield behind a hob or placed in contact with hot pans.
Is this vinyl wrap suitable for renters?
Yes, it is an excellent option for renters as it is non-permanent and removable. Using a hairdryer to warm the vinyl before peeling makes removal easier with minimal residue.
How do I clean the vinyl wrap?
You can wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild household cleaning products. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher stains, use warm soapy water.
What surfaces can I apply this vinyl wrap to?
It can be applied to most smooth, non-porous surfaces, including furniture, kitchen cupboards, doors, tables, and worktops. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
How easy is it to apply?
It's designed for easy application with a peel-and-stick backing. The water-based adhesive allows for repositioning during application, and warming it with a hairdryer helps with curves and edges.
What are the dimensions of this roll?
This specific roll is 67.5 cm wide and 5 meters long.
Can I overlap the vinyl when applying it?
It is generally best to apply the vinyl without overlap for a seamless finish. However, if necessary, a slight overlap can be used, ensuring it is smoothed down very well to avoid lifting.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles or wrinkles appear during application.
Slowly peel back the vinyl to the point of the imperfection and reapply, smoothing as you go. A hairdryer on a low setting can help smooth out stubborn bubbles.
Vinyl is not sticking properly.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and smooth. For some surfaces, a light mist of water can help initial placement, but ensure it's fully adhered and dry afterwards. Ensure the protective backing has been fully removed.
Difficulty applying to curved edges.
Gently warm the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting. This will make it more pliable and easier to stretch around curves without tearing.
Residue left behind after removal.
Warm the area with a hairdryer and peel slowly. Any remaining adhesive can usually be removed with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
Vinyl appears to be shrinking or peeling at edges.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and clean. For areas near moisture or high traffic, consider using a sealant along the edges after application.
