FAQs

What is the best way to cut this wallpaper?

Use a sharp utility knife or snap-off blade and a straight edge (like a metal ruler or spirit level) for clean, precise cuts. Cut carefully along the ceiling line, around electrical outlets, and at the skirting boards.

Can this wallpaper be used in a kitchen?

While it can be used in a kitchen, it is best suited for areas away from direct splashes or high humidity. For areas around sinks or cooktops, consider a more robust, washable material.

How many rolls do I need?

Each roll covers 10 square meters. Measure the total area of your walls in square meters (width x height) and divide by 10. Always round up to the nearest whole roll to account for pattern matching and potential waste.

Is this wallpaper washable?

It has a smooth finish that allows for gentle wiping with a slightly damp cloth. It is not considered fully washable in the way a vinyl wallpaper might be, so avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive water.

What kind of adhesive should I use?

A good quality, solvent-free wallpaper adhesive suitable for non-woven or standard wallpapers is recommended. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions and the wallpaper manufacturer's guidelines.

How do I remove this wallpaper later?

Typically, non-woven wallpapers can be stripped dry from the wall. If it proves difficult, dampen with warm water and a little wallpaper adhesive remover, then scrape gently.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or peeling after application

Ensure the wall was properly prepared and free of dust. Re-adhere loose edges with appropriate wallpaper paste. For significant bubbling, the section may need to be carefully removed, the wall re-prepared, and the paper re-applied.

Difficulty aligning pattern

Work in good lighting and take your time. If a slight misalignment occurs, gently reposition the strip before the paste sets. For future applications, ensure the starting strip is perfectly vertical.

Metallic shimmer looks uneven

This can sometimes occur due to the nature of metallic inks and light reflection. Ensure the wallpaper is applied smoothly without creases. The overall effect is designed to be subtle and may vary slightly with viewing angle.

Wallpaper does not adhere well

Check that the correct type of wallpaper adhesive has been used and applied evenly to the wall. Ensure the wall surface is porous enough to accept the adhesive. Re-paste the affected area if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust or grease.
  2. Prime the wall if necessary, especially on previously painted surfaces.
  3. Paste the wall, not the paper, following the manufacturer's specific instructions for the adhesive type used.
  4. Butt-join strips, do not overlap.
  5. Trim excess paper at the ceiling and skirting with a sharp knife.

Compatibility:

This wallpaper is suitable for most interior walls, including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining areas. It is not recommended for areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact, such as shower enclosures.

Care:

Due to its smooth finish, this wallpaper can be gently wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this may damage the metallic finish or the paper itself.
