FAQs
What kind of adhesive should I use?
Use a wallpaper paste specifically designed for 'paste-the-wall' applications. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the paste packaging.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is suitable for many rooms, it's best to avoid direct exposure to excessive moisture. Ensure proper ventilation if using it in a bathroom.
How do I calculate how much wallpaper I need?
Measure the height and width of your walls. Calculate the total wall area and then divide it by the coverage area per roll of wallpaper, accounting for pattern repeats. It's always best to order an extra roll to account for waste.
What if I make a mistake during installation?
Carefully remove the panel and re-apply, ensuring the wall paste is still active. For significant damage, you may need to replace the panel with a new cut from the roll.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
Because it's paste-the-wall, removal should be easier than traditional wallpaper. Usually, you can start by scoring the surface and then using a wallpaper steamer or warm, soapy water to loosen the adhesive.
Is it suitable for covering textured walls?
It is best applied to smooth, prepared surfaces. Highly textured walls may show through the wallpaper, affecting the final appearance. Consider smoothing the wall beforehand.
Can I paint over the wallpaper?
The wallpaper is designed to be used as is, for its decorative effect. It's not typically intended to be painted over.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering to the wall.
Ensure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, and primed if necessary). Use a high-quality wallpaper paste and apply it evenly to the wall. Press the wallpaper firmly to the wall and remove any air bubbles.
Seams are visible.
Make sure the wallpaper panels are aligned correctly, and use a seam roller to smooth the edges. Avoid overlapping the panels; instead, butt them together.
Wallpaper is tearing or ripping.
Handle the wallpaper gently during installation. Use a sharp knife or blade for trimming. Ensure the wall surface is smooth and free from any sharp protrusions.
Color variation between rolls.
Check the batch numbers of all wallpaper rolls to ensure they are from the same batch. If there are variations, contact the supplier.
