FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a high-quality paste specifically designed for vinyl or textured wallpapers. Follow the paste manufacturer's recommendations for application.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
While it is textured vinyl, it is not designed for high-moisture environments. For bathrooms, consider applying a specific vinyl sealant after installation.
How do I remove this wallpaper later?
Textured vinyl wallpapers are generally strippable. Start at a seam and pull downwards. If difficult, use a wallpaper steamer or a mixture of warm water and mild detergent.
What is the pattern repeat measurement?
The pattern repeat is 53 cm. This means the design pattern repeats every 53 cm down the roll.
How many rolls do I need for my room?
Calculate the total square meterage of your walls and divide by the coverage of one roll (53cm width x 1005cm length = 5.33 sqm per roll). Always round up to the nearest whole roll and account for the pattern repeat.
Is the grey color consistent across different batches?
While efforts are made to ensure color consistency, slight variations can occur between production batches. It's advisable to purchase all necessary rolls from the same batch if possible.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear after hanging
Gently lift the affected area and re-smooth with a wallpaper brush, working from the center outwards. If dried, small bubbles may dissipate, or a pinprick can release trapped air.
Pattern doesn't align correctly
Carefully adjust the position of the wallpaper strip before the paste sets. Ensure the straight match is correctly aligned with the previous strip. If significant waste occurs due to miscalculation, re-measure and re-cut.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut
Use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge for clean cuts. Change the blade frequently as dull blades can tear the wallpaper.
Paste seems to be drying too quickly
Work in smaller sections and ensure a consistent application of paste. Check room temperature; extreme heat can accelerate drying.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Adds significant visual interest and depth to walls with its 3D geometric design.
Durable textured vinyl is easy to clean and maintain.
The grey color family offers a sophisticated and versatile backdrop.
Suitable for both accent walls and complete room transformations.
Straight pattern match aids in simpler installation compared to complex designs.
Cons
The 53 cm pattern repeat requires precise alignment, potentially leading to more waste if not managed carefully.
Textured vinyl may not be suitable for extremely humid environments without proper sealing.
Geometric patterns can be unforgiving on imperfect walls, requiring good surface preparation.
As a specific style, it might not suit traditional or minimalist decors.
The 1005 cm roll length is generous but might be excessive for very small areas, leading to leftover material.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Surface Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. Prime the walls if necessary.
Cutting: Unroll the wallpaper and cut strips to the required length, allowing for a small overlap at the top and bottom.
Application: Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the wall or the back of the wallpaper strip, following the paste manufacturer's instructions. Hang the first strip level and butt subsequent strips together, ensuring the pattern matches.
Smoothing: Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to remove air bubbles and ensure adhesion.
Compatibility:
Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is well-adhered).
Best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and hallways.
Avoid high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens unless specifically sealed with a suitable vinyl wallpaper sealant.
Care:
Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Spills should be wiped up immediately to prevent staining.
