FAQs
What kind of paste should I use?
Use wallpaper paste specifically designed for 'paste the paper' application. Follow the paste manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
How do I match the pattern?
This wallpaper has a straight pattern match. Align the edges of each strip horizontally to match the pattern.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is washable, it's best to avoid areas with high moisture. Consider the ventilation of the room before installation.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
The removal method depends on the wall. Usually, soaking the wallpaper with warm water and a wallpaper remover solution can help to loosen the adhesive, after which it can be peeled off. Consult a professional if you're unsure.
What if I run out of wallpaper?
Calculate the amount needed accurately before starting the project. Order enough rolls to cover the wall, including extra for pattern matching and potential waste. Ensure the rolls have the same batch number.
Is this wallpaper suitable for textured walls?
It is recommended to have a smooth wall surface. Textured walls might not provide the best results.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
It is not recommended to paint over this wallpaper as it can affect its finish. This wallpaper is designed to be installed as is.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall.
Ensure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, and smooth). Make sure you are using the correct type and amount of wallpaper paste. Check that the wallpaper is soaking for the correct amount of time.
Air bubbles are appearing under the wallpaper.
Use a smoothing brush or roller to gently work the air bubbles out from the center to the edges of the wallpaper. Make sure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, and smooth).
Seams are visible after hanging.
Ensure that the pattern is aligned correctly, following the straight pattern match. Use a seam roller to flatten the seams and ensure they are well adhered to the wall. Apply even pressure.
Wallpaper is tearing during application.
Handle the wallpaper gently. Use sharp cutting tools. Make sure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, and smooth).
