FAQs

What does 'free pattern match' mean?

A free pattern match means that the pattern requires no specific alignment when hanging subsequent strips of wallpaper. You can hang each strip next to the other without needing to match a specific point in the design, simplifying the process and reducing waste.

How do I clean this wallpaper?

The wallpaper is scrubbable. You can clean it gently with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.

Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

It is generally recommended to remove old wallpaper first for the best adhesion and finish. However, if the existing wallpaper is firmly adhered, smooth, and sound, this non-woven wallpaper might be applied over it after thorough cleaning, following the surface preparation guidelines.

What adhesive should I use?

For non-woven wallpapers, a high-quality wallpaper adhesive specifically formulated for this type of material is recommended. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.

Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While the wallpaper is scrubbable and has good lightfastness, it is not specifically designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens where excessive steam and condensation can occur. Ensure good ventilation if used in such areas.

What does FSC Mix certified mean?

FSC Mix certification means that the non-woven support material for this wallpaper comes from responsibly managed forests, recycled materials, or both, and adheres to strict environmental and social standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council.

How do I prepare my walls for this wallpaper?

Walls must be clean, dry, smooth, firm, and absorbent. Remove any loose material, dust, or grease. Fill cracks and sand smooth. A primer may be beneficial on very porous or uneven surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper not sticking properly

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Check that the correct adhesive for non-woven wallpaper has been used and applied evenly to the wall. Avoid applying in very cold or humid conditions.

Air bubbles or wrinkles after application

Smooth the wallpaper firmly from the center outwards towards the edges using a wallpaper brush or smoother immediately after hanging. If bubbles persist, they may need to be carefully pricked with a pin and smoothed down.

Pattern doesn't align (though it's a free match)

As this is a free pattern match, alignment is not critical between strips. Ensure strips are hung vertically straight using a plumb line and that edges are butted together closely without overlapping.

Difficulty removing wallpaper

While designed to be dry-removable, some adhesive may remain. Gently scrape off any excess adhesive. If stubborn, a mild wallpaper remover solution may be needed, applied according to product instructions.

Color appears different from online sample

Monitor screens display colors differently. Always order a sample if color matching is critical. The actual product color may have slight variations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to apply with the paste-the-wall technique.
  • Durable and easy to maintain due to its scrubbable surface.
  • Aesthetically versatile, fitting modern and rustic interiors.
  • Environmentally conscious with FSC Mix certification.
  • Simple pattern match reduces installation complexity and waste.
  • Good lightfastness ensures long-lasting color vibrancy.

Cons

  • Requires smooth, dry, and absorbent surfaces for proper adhesion.
  • The aged concrete look might not suit all interior design styles.
  • Roll size may require careful planning for large rooms to minimize seams.
  • While dry-strippable, some residue might require gentle cleaning.
  • The free pattern match means no visual pattern to align, which might be less engaging for some.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation:

Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, firm, and absorbent. Remove any old wallpaper, loose paint, or dust. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth.

Application:

This wallpaper is designed for the paste-the-wall technique. Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the wall in the width of one strip. Hang the wallpaper strip directly onto the pasted wall, aligning the edge. Smooth from the center outwards to remove air bubbles. Trim excess at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp knife.

Compatibility:

Suitable for application on all clean, dry, smooth, firm, and absorbent surfaces, including plasterboard, previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is well-adhered), and smooth concrete.

Care:

To clean, use a slightly damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild detergent solution can be used sparingly. Avoid excessive moisture and abrasive cleaning tools, which can damage the surface. The wallpaper is dry-removable, meaning it can be stripped off in dry pieces when redecorating.
