FAQs

Is this wallpaper easy to clean?

Yes, the Fresco Game Over Grey Wallpaper is spongeable, meaning you can easily wipe off marks and spills with a damp sponge or cloth. For best results, clean promptly.

What type of paste should I use with this wallpaper?

Info needed: It is recommended to use a good quality, ready-mixed wallpaper paste suitable for 'paste the paper' application. Always follow the paste manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.

What is the design repeat for this wallpaper?

The design repeat is 53cm with an offset match. This means that to align the pattern across strips, you will need to shift the next strip by half the repeat length.

Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom or high-humidity area?

While the wallpaper is spongeable for cleaning, its suitability for consistently high-humidity environments like bathrooms is not explicitly stated. Info needed: suitability for high humidity environments.

Is this wallpaper safe for children's rooms?

Yes, it is phthalate-free and made with water-based inks and sustainable paper, making it a responsible and safer choice for children's bedrooms and play areas.

How many rolls do I need for my room?

To calculate the number of rolls, measure the total perimeter of your room and the height of your walls. Divide the perimeter by the wallpaper width (52cm) to get the number of strips. Then, divide the total wall height by the roll length (10m) to see how many strips you can get per roll. Always factor in the 53cm offset repeat for pattern matching, which may require extra material. It's often recommended to purchase an extra roll to account for waste and future repairs.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper not sticking to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Check that the wallpaper paste was applied evenly and liberally to the back of the wallpaper strip, especially at the edges. The room temperature should not be too cold, which can affect drying and adhesion.

Pattern misalignment after hanging strips.

This wallpaper has a 53cm offset design repeat. Before cutting, lay out two strips side-by-side and slide them until the pattern matches precisely. Use a pencil mark on the wall or a laser level to guide your vertical alignment for each strip, ensuring the pattern aligns across seams.

Bubbles or creases appearing under the wallpaper.

Immediately after hanging, use a wallpaper smoother or brush to gently push air bubbles out towards the edges of the strip. For persistent bubbles, you can carefully lift a section and re-apply, ensuring sufficient paste and smoothing thoroughly. Small bubbles often disappear as the wallpaper dries and contracts.

Visible seams between wallpaper strips.

Ensure strips are hung edge-to-edge without overlapping or leaving gaps. A wallpaper seam roller can be gently used along the seams after application to ensure good adhesion, but avoid excessive pressure that could squeeze out too much paste. Proper wall preparation and pattern matching are key to minimizing seam visibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup 1. Prepare Your Walls: Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free of any loose paint or debris. For best results, use a primer, especially on new or porous surfaces. 2. Gather Tools: You will need wallpaper paste, a paste brush or roller, a plumb line or spirit level, a measuring tape, scissors or a utility knife, a smoother or wallpaper brush, and a damp sponge. 3. Measure and Cut: Measure your wall height, adding a few extra centimeters for trimming at the top and bottom. Cut your first strip of wallpaper. Remember the 53cm offset design repeat for subsequent strips; align patterns carefully before cutting. 4. Apply Paste: Using a paste brush or roller, apply an even layer of wallpaper paste directly to the back of the wallpaper strip. Ensure edges are well-covered. 5. Hang the First Strip: Use a plumb line to ensure your first strip is perfectly vertical. Apply the paste-covered strip to the wall, starting from the top. 6. Smooth Out: Using a wallpaper brush or smoother, gently work out any air bubbles, moving from the center of the strip outwards. 7. Match Patterns: For subsequent strips, carefully align the pattern, taking into account the 53cm offset repeat. Apply paste and hang, smoothing out bubbles as before. 8. Trim Excess: Once all strips are hung and smoothed, trim any excess wallpaper at the top and bottom using a utility knife against a straight edge. 9. Clean Up: Immediately wipe away any excess paste from the wallpaper surface or skirting boards with a damp sponge. ### Compatibility The Fresco Game Over Grey Wallpaper is perfectly suited for: - Kids' Bedrooms: Its playful yet stylish design makes it an excellent choice for a child's personal space. - Gaming Rooms: Enhances the aesthetic of any gaming setup, creating an immersive atmosphere. - Playrooms: Durable and easy to clean, it's practical for areas of high activity. The grey and navy color palette offers broad compatibility with modern and contemporary furniture and decor. ### Care - Spongeable Surface: To clean, gently wipe the wallpaper surface with a damp sponge or cloth. - Mild Soap: For tougher marks, a very mild soap solution can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. - Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scrubbing brushes, as these can damage the wallpaper's finish and color. - Prompt Cleaning: Address spills or marks quickly to prevent them from setting into the paper.
