FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use for this wallpaper?
This is a heavyweight vinyl wallpaper. Use a high-quality adhesive specifically recommended for vinyl or heavyweight wallpapers. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application.
How do I measure and cut the wallpaper strips?
Measure the height of your wall and add approximately 10cm (5cm top and 5cm bottom) for trimming. Cut each strip to this length. Ensure you account for the 53cm pattern repeat when cutting subsequent strips to maintain the brick design continuity.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is extra washable, it is not designed for constant high humidity or direct water exposure. It is best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas. For bathrooms, ensure adequate ventilation or consider a product specifically rated for high-moisture environments.
How do I remove this wallpaper when redecorating?
This wallpaper is strippable, meaning it can be removed in full sheets when dry. Start at a seam or corner and peel it away from the wall. If any backing paper remains, it can be removed with warm water and a scraper.
What is a 'straight' pattern match?
A straight pattern match means that the pattern on one strip aligns horizontally with the pattern on the adjacent strip. This is the most common and straightforward type of pattern match.
How many square meters does one roll cover?
One roll measures 10.05 meters in length and 0.53 meters in width, covering approximately 5.32 square meters. Remember to account for pattern repeat and waste when calculating the number of rolls needed.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall
Ensure you have used the correct adhesive for heavyweight vinyl and applied it generously to the wall. Check that the wall surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Allow the adhesive to become tacky before applying the paper if instructions suggest.
Air bubbles or wrinkles appear after hanging
Use a wallpaper smoothing tool or brush to firmly push air bubbles towards the edges. If bubbles persist or are large, you may need to carefully lift the strip and re-smooth. Ensure the wallpaper is not being stretched while smoothing.
Pattern does not align correctly
Verify you are using the correct 53cm pattern repeat. Double-check the alignment of each strip before smoothing it down. Sometimes, slight adjustments can be made before the paste sets. Ensure you are not cutting strips too long or too short for the wall height.
Wallpaper is difficult to trim
Use a very sharp, fresh wallpaper knife blade. Make clean, decisive cuts. Allow the wallpaper to dry slightly for a firmer edge, but not so long that it becomes brittle. A metal ruler or straight edge is essential.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old wallpaper. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. Prime the wall if necessary, especially if it's unpainted plaster or very porous.
- Paste the Wall: Apply a generous, even coat of wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for heavyweight vinyl wallpaper directly to the wall. Avoid getting paste on the front of the wallpaper.
- Hang the First Strip: Place the first strip onto the pasted wall, aligning it vertically. Use a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool to press it firmly into place, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Trim Edges: Use a sharp wallpaper knife and a straight edge to trim the excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board.
- Continue Hanging: Apply subsequent strips, ensuring the pattern repeat (53cm) is matched correctly. Butt the edges of the strips together; do not overlap.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most interior walls, including living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, and home offices.
- Not recommended for areas with constant high humidity or direct water exposure, such as bathrooms or shower areas, unless adequately protected.
Care:
- Cleaning: This wallpaper is extra washable. For light marks, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the cleaned area to air dry naturally. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
