Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this product suitable for renters?

Yes, the vinyl film is fully removable, making it an excellent choice for renters who cannot make permanent alterations to their property.

How do I clean the D-C-Fix Worktop Wrap?

You can clean it with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Wipe up spills promptly to avoid staining. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I place hot pans directly on the wrap?

No, the wrap is heat resistant up to 70°C. It is not suitable for direct contact with hot pans. Worktop savers are recommended.

What is the best way to apply it to avoid bubbles?

Ensure the surface is clean and smooth. Apply slowly, using a felt edge smoother to push out air bubbles as you go. The water-based adhesive allows repositioning if needed.

How do I remove the vinyl when I want to change it?

Gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting. This softens the adhesive, making it easier to peel off cleanly.

Do I need to seal it around my sink or hob?

Yes, it is strongly recommended to seal around sinks and hobs with a silicone sealant to prevent water from getting underneath and lifting the vinyl.

What are the dimensions of the wrap?

The product dimensions are H:300 x W:67.5 x D:0 cm. It is professionally cut from a master roll to provide custom lengths.

Is this product safe for food preparation?

The material is phthalate-free. However, it is recommended to use cutting boards for preparing food to protect the surface.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or creases during application

Gently lift the vinyl film and reapply, using a felt edge smoother to push out air. For stubborn bubbles, a pinprick can release trapped air.

Vinyl not sticking properly

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry. Reapply gentle heat with a hairdryer to reactivate the adhesive, then press firmly.

Edges lifting near water sources (sink/hob)

Clean the edges thoroughly and apply a silicone sealant around the perimeter to create a waterproof barrier.

Difficulty moulding around curves

Use a hairdryer on a low setting to warm and soften the vinyl, making it more flexible to stretch and conform to curved edges.

Stains on the surface

Wipe up spills immediately. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

  3. Slowly peel back the backing paper, applying the vinyl to the surface. Use a felt edge smoother to push out air bubbles as you go.
  4. For curved edges, gently warm the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting to make it more pliable and mold it into shape.
