FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a high-quality adhesive specifically designed for 'paste the wall' wallpaper. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
While classified as washable, it's not recommended for areas with high humidity or direct water contact, such as a shower enclosure. A well-ventilated bathroom might be suitable if care is taken.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
Use a slightly damp, soft cloth to gently wipe away marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What does 'Offset Match' mean?
An offset match means that the pattern on the next strip of wallpaper needs to be shifted horizontally by half a pattern repeat (26.5cm in this case) to align correctly with the previous strip.
How many rolls do I need for my room?
Each roll covers approximately 5.32 square meters. Measure your walls and divide the total area by 5.32. Always purchase an extra roll to account for pattern matching and potential errors.
Is the wallpaper easy to remove?
Yes, this wallpaper is classified as strippable, meaning it can be removed relatively easily when dry, often in large pieces, when it's time for redecoration.
What is 'Good Light Fastness'?
Good light fastness indicates that the wallpaper's colours are resistant to fading when exposed to sunlight over time, helping to maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or air pockets appear after hanging
Gently lift the edge of the affected area and smooth it down again, working from the centre outwards with a soft brush or roller to push out any trapped air. If the adhesive is still wet, this is usually effective.
Pattern does not align correctly
Ensure you are following the 53/26.5cm offset match instructions precisely. Double-check the alignment of each strip. You may need to trim slightly from the edge of a strip to achieve a perfect match.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut
Use a sharp, dedicated wallpaper knife or utility blade and a straight edge. Change the blade frequently for clean cuts. Ensure the wallpaper is taut against the surface for easier trimming.
Adhesive is not sticking the wallpaper to the wall
Check that the correct type of adhesive for paste-the-wall paper has been used and applied liberally to the wall. Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and sound). If the issue persists, the wall may require priming.
