FAQs

Can this film be applied over existing wallpaper?

It is best applied to smooth, non-porous surfaces. If the wallpaper is perfectly smooth and adheres well, it might work, but textured wallpaper will show through and prevent proper adhesion. Test in a small, hidden area first.

How long does the adhesive typically last?

With proper application on a suitable surface and regular care, the adhesive is designed to provide a long-lasting bond for several years.

Is this product waterproof?

The vinyl film itself is water-resistant, making it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. However, it's important to ensure that seams are properly sealed to prevent moisture from seeping underneath.

Can I reposition the film if I make a mistake?

Yes, you can carefully lift and reposition the film shortly after application. However, the longer it's applied, the stronger the bond becomes, making repositioning more difficult.

What are the dimensions of one roll?

Each roll measures 2.1 meters in length and 90 centimeters in width.

Can I use this on a surface that gets hot, like next to a stove?

It is not recommended for use in areas exposed to high heat, as excessive temperatures can damage the film and weaken the adhesive. Keep it away from direct heat sources.

How do I clean the film?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean. Avoid abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or wrinkles appear during application

Gently lift the film back to the point of the bubble and reapply, smoothing it out with a squeegee or cloth. For small bubbles, puncturing with a fine needle may help release trapped air.

Film not sticking properly

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Re-clean the surface and try applying again, pressing firmly, especially on edges. For some surfaces, a light application of a spray adhesive might be needed, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Difficulty trimming edges cleanly

Use a very sharp craft knife or utility blade. A metal ruler can help guide the blade for a straight cut.

Residue left after removal

Use a gentle adhesive remover or warm soapy water. Test the remover in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage the underlying surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust, grease, or old adhesive.
  2. Measure and Cut: Measure the area and cut the film to size, allowing a small overlap for trimming.
  3. Peel and Stick: Gently peel back a small section of the backing paper.
  4. Apply Carefully: Align the film with the edge of the surface and slowly apply it, smoothing out any air bubbles with a squeegee or soft cloth as you go.
  5. Trim Excess: Use a sharp craft knife to trim any excess film around the edges.

Compatibility:

This film is suitable for application on any smooth, clean, and dry surface. This includes:

  • Laminates
  • Painted wood (smooth finish)
  • Glass
  • Metal
  • Tiles (grout lines should be filled or smoothed)

It is not recommended for use on textured, porous, or uneven surfaces, as adhesion may be compromised, and the texture may show through.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of the film:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
  • Protect from excessive heat and sharp objects that could cause damage.
