FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use for this wallpaper?
You should use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for non-woven, paste-the-wall wallpapers. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
How do I clean the Alata Wallpaper?
The wallpaper is washable. You can gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution, but avoid excessive moisture or abrasive cleaners.
What does 'offset pattern match' mean?
An offset pattern match (or half-drop repeat) means that every second strip needs to be dropped by half of the pattern repeat to align correctly. For this wallpaper, it's a 17.6cm offset.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is washable, it's best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms. Bathrooms typically have higher humidity, which can affect the longevity and adhesion of wallpaper unless specifically designed for such environments.
How much wallpaper do I need to order?
Measure the width and height of your walls. Divide the total wall area by the area covered by one roll (considering the pattern repeat and offset match to minimize waste). It's always recommended to order slightly more than calculated to account for cutting errors or future repairs.
What are the dimensions of one roll?
Each roll measures 10.05 meters in length and 53 centimeters in width.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper bubbles or has air pockets after application
Gently lift the affected section and smooth it out with a clean brush or roller, ensuring good adhesion. If the adhesive has dried, you may need to re-paste the wall or the back of the wallpaper section.
Difficulty aligning the offset pattern match
Take your time and measure carefully. It can be helpful to have a second person assist with holding the strip while you align the pattern. Use a spirit level to ensure vertical accuracy.
Wallpaper not adhering properly to the wall
Check that the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and smooth) and that you have used the correct type and amount of adhesive for non-woven, paste-the-wall applications.
Color variations between strips
Ensure all wallpaper rolls are from the same batch number, as slight color variations can occur between different production runs. Check this on the product label before starting.
