FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use for this wallpaper?
Use a high-quality, ready-mixed adhesive specifically designed for non-woven or paste-the-wall wallpapers. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application.
How do I measure and cut the wallpaper?
Measure the height of your wall from ceiling to skirting board and add approximately 10cm (5cm at the top and 5cm at the bottom) for trimming. Cut strips to this length. Ensure you maintain the pattern repeat if applicable, though this design is quite forgiving.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
While the vinyl finish offers some durability, it is not recommended for very high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens where excessive steam or condensation could affect adhesion over time. It is best suited for dry living spaces.
How durable is the textured finish?
The textured vinyl finish is designed to be durable for normal household use. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, but avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners which could damage the texture.
What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?
This wallpaper has a pattern repeat, but the distressed concrete design is generally forgiving, meaning slight imperfections in pattern matching are less noticeable. Refer to the product packaging for precise repeat information.
How easy is it to remove this wallpaper?
Being a paste-the-wall product, it is designed for easier removal. Once dry, it can often be peeled off in large strips. For stubborn areas, warm water may help soften the adhesive.
What are the dimensions of the wallpaper roll?
Each roll measures 10 meters in length and is typically 0.53 meters (53 cm) wide.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appearing during application
Ensure adhesive is applied evenly to the wall. Use a wallpaper smoothing tool or brush to push air towards the edges as you hang each strip. If bubbles persist after drying, carefully prick with a pin and smooth down.
Difficulty trimming edges
Use a very sharp utility knife or blade and a straight edge for clean cuts. Replace blades frequently as dull blades can snag the material.
Wallpaper not adhering well
Check that the correct type of adhesive for non-woven, paste-the-wall wallpaper has been used. Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared and dry before application.
Color variation between batches
Always check the batch number on each roll and ensure all rolls used for the same project have identical batch numbers. If variations are noticed, contact the retailer immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a paste-the-wall wallpaper. Ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from any old wallpaper or loose paint. Apply a suitable wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall. Hang the wallpaper strips vertically, smoothing them from the center outwards to remove air bubbles. Trim excess material at the ceiling and skirting boards using a sharp knife.
Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is sound and non-flaking). Avoid applying to damp or uneven surfaces.
Care: To clean, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this may damage the textured finish.
