FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a high-quality, heavy-duty wallpaper adhesive suitable for heavyweight papers. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application and booking time.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the height and width of your walls to calculate the total square meterage. Each roll covers approximately 5.32 sq.m. Divide your total wall area by 5.32 and round up to the nearest whole number. Always add an extra roll for pattern matching and potential mistakes.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
This wallpaper is classified as washable, but it is paper-based and not designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or shower rooms where condensation is frequent. It's best suited for living areas, bedrooms, and hallways.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
Gently wipe the surface with a clean, damp sponge or cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish and print.
What does 'strippable' mean?
Strippable wallpaper can be removed in large pieces from the wall without excessive soaking or steaming, making redecoration easier compared to traditional wallpapers.
What is a 'straight match' pattern repeat?
A straight match means that the pattern on one strip of wallpaper should align horizontally with the pattern on the next strip without needing to be offset. The 53cm refers to the distance along the roll where the pattern repeats.
What is the guarantee on this wallpaper?
The wallpaper comes with a 1-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or lifting edges after application
Ensure the wall is properly prepared and primed. Re-paste the affected area and press firmly with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards. Check if sufficient adhesive was used.
Difficulty matching the pattern repeat
Carefully align the pattern on the next strip to the previous one before cutting. Ensure you are using the correct 53cm straight match. If unsure, consult a wallpapering guide or professional.
Color looks different from the online image
Colors can vary due to monitor settings and lighting. It is recommended to order a sample if color accuracy is critical before purchasing full rolls. Be aware that slight variations can also occur between different production batches.
Wallpaper tears during application
Handle the wallpaper gently, especially when wet with adhesive. Ensure the adhesive is applied evenly. If a tear occurs, it may be possible to repair it with a small amount of wallpaper paste and careful smoothing, or the strip may need to be replaced if the tear is significant.
