Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I apply this vinyl wrap over existing wallpaper?

It is best applied to smooth, non-porous surfaces. Applying over wallpaper may result in poor adhesion and an uneven finish.

How do I remove the vinyl wrap when I want a change?

Gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting. This will soften the adhesive, allowing you to peel it back slowly and carefully.

Is this product suitable for high-moisture areas like a bathroom splashback?

While it is wipe-clean and water-resistant, it is primarily designed for worktops. For splashbacks, ensure all edges are meticulously sealed with silicone to prevent moisture ingress.

What are the dimensions of the vinyl wrap?

The product is described as being cut from an original 15-meter master roll. This specific repackaged item has dimensions of H:300 x W:67.5 x D:0 cm, offering a custom length.

Can I place hot pans directly on the wrapped surface?

No, the vinyl wrap is heat resistant up to 70°C and is not suitable for direct contact with hot pans. Always use worktop savers for hot items.

What tools do I need to apply this vinyl wrap?

You will typically need a utility cutter or sharp knife for trimming, a felt edge smoother or squeegee for applying and removing air bubbles, and a hairdryer for curves and removal.

Is this vinyl wrap safe for food preparation surfaces?

The material is Phthalate-free and made in Germany. However, it is recommended to use cutting boards for preparing food to protect the vinyl's surface.

What is the guarantee period for this product?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or creases during application

Gently lift the vinyl back to the point of the bubble/crease and reapply, smoothing out with a felt edge smoother. For stubborn bubbles, a tiny pinprick can release trapped air.

Vinyl not sticking properly

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Reheat the vinyl slightly with a hairdryer and press firmly. For older surfaces, a primer might be necessary (test first).

Difficulty applying around curves

Use a hairdryer on a low setting to warm and stretch the vinyl. Work slowly, applying gentle pressure to conform it to the shape.

Water seeping under edges

Ensure the edges are properly sealed with a suitable silicone sealant, especially around sinks and hobs. Reapply sealant if necessary.

Vinyl lifting after some time

Check if the edges have lost their seal or if the surface was not adequately prepared. Clean the edge, reheat with a hairdryer, and press firmly. Reapply sealant if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any grease, dust, or old adhesive.
  2. Measure your surface and cut the vinyl wrap using the grid on the reverse for accuracy. Allow for a slight overlap if needed.
  3. Peel back a small section of the backing paper from one edge.
  4. Carefully align the vinyl with the edge of the surface and begin applying, smoothing out air bubbles as you go with a felt edge smoother or squeegee.
  5. For curves or corners, gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting to make it more pliable, allowing it to stretch and mold.
  6. Trim any excess material with a sharp utility cutter.
  7. For areas exposed to moisture, such as around sinks and hobs, apply a silicone sealant to the edges to prevent water from seeping underneath.

Compatibility:

This vinyl can be applied to any flat, non-porous surface, including countertops, tabletops, furniture, and cabinet doors. It is not recommended for use on textured or uneven surfaces where adhesion may be compromised.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
  • Use worktop savers for hot pans and cutting boards for food preparation.
  • The vinyl is heat resistant up to 70°C. Do not place hot items directly on the surface.
