FAQs

What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?

The pattern repeat for this Rasch Red Brick Wallpaper is 53 cm.

How much area does one roll cover?

One roll measures 10 meters in length and 0.53 meters in width, covering approximately 5.32 square meters.

Can I hang this wallpaper myself?

Yes, this wallpaper is designed for 'paste the paper' installation, which is a common method suitable for DIY. Full instructions are provided on the wallpaper label.

How do I clean the wallpaper?

The wallpaper is spongeable, meaning you can gently wipe it with a clean, damp cloth to remove light dirt or marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What does 'peelable' mean for wallpaper removal?

Peelable wallpaper can be dry-stripped from the wall, typically leaving the backing layer behind. This makes redecorating much easier and minimizes damage to the wall surface.

Is the textured finish durable?

The textured finish adds to the realistic brick effect. While generally durable for standard interior use, avoid harsh impacts or abrasive cleaning that could damage the texture.

What is a 'straight match' installation?

A straight match means that the pattern on each strip of wallpaper aligns horizontally with the pattern on the adjacent strip at the same height. This is simpler than a drop match.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or creases appearing during application

Use a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool to gently push air bubbles towards the nearest edge. If creases are persistent, you may need to lift the paper slightly, re-paste, and re-smooth.

Pattern doesn't align correctly

Ensure you are using a straight match and that the pattern repeat is accounted for. Check if the wall is perfectly vertical using a spirit level for each strip. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made before the paste fully sets.

Wallpaper is difficult to remove

Ensure the paper is fully soaked with water or a dedicated wallpaper stripper solution. Allow adequate time for the solution to penetrate. If it's an old layer, scoring the surface lightly might help, but be cautious not to damage the underlying wall.

Color seems inconsistent across rolls

Verify that all rolls used are from the same batch number. If different batches were inadvertently mixed, contact the retailer or manufacturer to discuss color consistency.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds significant character and a unique aesthetic to any room.
  • The textured finish enhances the realism of the brick design.
  • Spongeable for easy maintenance.
  • Peelable for easier future removal.
  • Good lightfastness ensures long-lasting appearance.

Cons

  • Requires precise pattern matching for a seamless look.
  • 53 cm pattern repeat may lead to more waste than designs with smaller repeats.
  • The vintage photographic elements might not suit all decor styles.
  • May not be suitable for very humid environments without proper sealing.
  • Paste-the-paper method can be messier than paste-the-wall options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This wallpaper uses the 'paste the paper' method. Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strips. Allow the paste to 'mature' for the time specified on the paste instructions before hanging. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from old wallpaper or loose paint. Use a straight match for aligning subsequent strips.

Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously papered surfaces (ensure old paper is sound and well-adhered). Not recommended for areas with excessive moisture.

Care: The wallpaper is spongeable. For light marks or dust, gently wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as this can damage the texture and print.
