Product Information

Full details

This paintable white wallcovering, designed by A.S. Création, is for homeowners and interior designers seeking a durable, textured foundation for custom wall aesthetics. Its key benefit is the versatile linen-like effect that can be painted any color, offering a unique decorative finish. A potential caveat is its free pattern match, which may require more careful alignment during application compared to a straight match.

FAQs

Can this wallpaper be painted immediately after hanging?

It is generally recommended to allow the wallpaper adhesive to dry completely, usually for 24-48 hours, before painting to ensure a stable surface.

What type of paint should I use?

Water-based emulsion paints (vinyl matt, vinyl silk, or acrylic paints) are typically suitable for use on painted wallpaper. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

How do I remove this wallpaper when I want a change?

This wallpaper is usually strippable when dry. Start at a seam and peel downwards. If some backing remains, it can often be washed off with water and a scraper.

What is the 'free pattern match' feature?

A free pattern match means you do not need to align a specific pattern repeat between strips. You can hang the next strip right next to the previous one, simplifying the hanging process.

What is the weight of the wallpaper?

The wallpaper weighs 920.0 grams per roll.

How large is one roll of wallpaper?

One roll measures 10.05 meters in length and 0.53 meters in width.

Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While it has high washability, it is not specifically designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens, which may require specialized vinyl wallpapers. Ensure good ventilation if used in such areas.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or air pockets after hanging

Gently lift the affected section of the wallpaper and re-smooth it with a wallpaper brush or roller, working air towards the edges. Ensure adhesive was applied evenly.

Wallpaper not sticking properly

Check that the wall surface is clean and dry, and that adequate adhesive was used. Ensure the correct type of adhesive for non-woven wallpapers has been applied according to instructions.

Difficulty trimming edges

Use a sharp craft knife or wallpaper trimming wheel and a straight edge (like a metal ruler or a broad filling knife) for clean cuts along the ceiling, skirting board, and corners.

Visible seams

Ensure the edges of adjacent strips are butted together precisely. Apply gentle pressure along the seam with a seam roller (if appropriate for the wallpaper type) after pasting has set slightly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile paintable surface allows for complete color customization.
  • Adds a sophisticated texture and visual interest to walls.
  • Durable and resistant to light fading.
  • Easy to clean due to high washability.
  • Simple application with a free pattern match.

Cons

  • Free pattern match may require more attention to alignment than a design with a specific repeat.
  • Requires an additional step of painting to achieve desired color.
  • Textured surface might show imperfections on the underlying wall more readily than a smooth finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or debris. Prime the wall if necessary.
  2. Cut wallpaper strips to the required length, allowing for an overlap at the ceiling and skirting board.
  3. Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the wall or the back of the wallpaper strip, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Hang the first strip, ensuring it is perfectly vertical using a spirit level. For a free pattern match, simply butt the next strip up against the previous one.
  5. Smooth out any air bubbles with a wallpaper brush or roller, working from the center outwards.
  6. Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board.

Compatibility:

This wallpaper is compatible with most standard wallpaper adhesives. It is suitable for application on most interior wall surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously papered walls (provided the old wallpaper is sound and well-adhered).

Care:

  • Clean with a damp cloth or sponge. Mild soap can be used for stubborn marks.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which could damage the texture or lift the paper.
  • Regular dusting with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment will help maintain its appearance.
