FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
A high-quality, ready-mixed or powder adhesive suitable for heavyweight or textured wallpapers is recommended. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's specific instructions.
How do I handle the 26.5cm offset pattern match?
When hanging the second strip, you will need to align the pattern not with the edge of the first strip, but with a point 26.5cm from the edge, matching the corresponding point on the first strip.
Can this wallpaper be used in a high-traffic area?
Yes, the high-quality material makes it suitable for living rooms and hallways. However, avoid direct impacts or abrasive cleaning.
What is the exact size of one roll?
Each roll measures 10.05 meters (32.9 feet) in length and 53cm (21 inches) in width.
How much wallpaper do I need for my room?
Measure the total width of your walls and divide by the wallpaper width (53cm) to determine the number of drops needed. Account for the pattern repeat and add about 10-15% extra for waste and future repairs.
Is the metallic element prone to scratching?
The metallic elements are integrated into the design and are durable under normal conditions. Avoid using abrasive cloths or cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear after application.
Gently lift the affected section and re-smooth it with a wallpaper brush, working from the center outwards. For persistent bubbles, a small pinprick can release trapped air.
Pattern does not align correctly between strips.
Carefully adjust the positioning of the current strip. Ensure you are following the 26.5cm offset pattern match precisely. It may be necessary to trim slightly more from the edge of one strip to achieve alignment.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut.
Use a sharp, fresh utility knife or a sharp pair of scissors. Change the blade frequently for cleaner cuts.
Adhesive seems insufficient or is drying too quickly.
Ensure you are using the correct type of wallpaper adhesive recommended for the material. Apply adhesive evenly and work in manageable sections to prevent premature drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper or loose paint.
- Apply a suitable wallpaper primer to the wall; allow it to dry completely.
- Cut the wallpaper to the required length, allowing extra for trimming. For the 26.5cm offset pattern match, ensure consecutive drops align correctly.
- Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the back of the paper or directly to the wall, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
- Hang the first strip vertically, ensuring it is level. Smooth out any air bubbles using a wallpaper brush or smoother.
- Continue hanging subsequent strips, carefully aligning the pattern repeat.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces (provided they are in good condition).
- Not recommended for use in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms or kitchens unless a suitable sealant is applied after installation.
Care:
- Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this may damage the metallic elements and texture.
- For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth.
