FAQs
What does 'offset match' mean?
Offset match, also known as drop or half drop match, means that the pattern on the second strip of wallpaper needs to be shifted down or up by a certain distance (in this case, 26.5cm) to align correctly with the pattern on the first strip.
How much wallpaper do I need?
Measure the height and width of your walls, and calculate the total surface area. Consider the pattern repeat when estimating the number of rolls needed, allowing extra for matching the pattern and any waste.
What type of paste should I use?
Use a paste specifically designed for 'paste the paper' application. Follow the wallpaper manufacturer's recommendations for the best results.
How do I handle corners?
When approaching a corner, measure the remaining width and cut the wallpaper accordingly, ensuring the pattern aligns. Overlap slightly onto the adjacent wall for a clean finish.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is durable, it is best suited for areas with less moisture. Consider the ventilation in your bathroom before installation.
What if the batch numbers don't match?
Do not hang wallpaper rolls with different batch numbers on the same wall, as color variations may be noticeable. Contact the retailer to exchange the rolls.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
Soak the wallpaper with warm water using a sponge or spray bottle. Allow the water to penetrate for a few minutes, then carefully peel the paper away from the wall. You may need a wallpaper scraper for stubborn areas.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty matching the pattern.
Double-check the pattern repeat and offset match guidelines. Ensure the drop match is correctly applied, and consider starting with the most visible corner to minimize waste.
Seams are visible after drying.
Use a seam roller to gently smooth the seams and ensure they are properly adhered. Wipe away any excess paste immediately.
Wallpaper not sticking to the wall.
Make sure the wall is properly prepared and primed. Ensure you are using the correct type of adhesive for the wallpaper. Check if the paste is suitable for 'paste the paper' application.
