FAQs

What kind of adhesive should I use?

Use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive specifically recommended for XPS or lightweight decorative panels. Refer to the adhesive manufacturer's guidelines for best results.

Can these panels be painted?

Yes, the panels can be painted. Ensure you use a suitable primer first, followed by your chosen paint. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

How do I clean the panels?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or excessive moisture.

Are these panels waterproof?

The panels themselves are not waterproof. They are suitable for general interior use but should not be installed in areas exposed to direct water or high humidity without appropriate sealing and protection.

What are the dimensions of the panels?

Each panel covers approximately 4 square meters (4M2). Specific dimensions should be checked with the retailer or product packaging for precise measurements.

Can I install these over existing wallpaper?

It is best to remove old wallpaper and prepare the underlying surface. Installing over existing wallpaper may compromise adhesion and lead to an uneven finish.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will typically need a sharp utility knife or craft knife, a measuring tape, a spirit level, a smooth adhesive spreader or roller, and the appropriate adhesive.

Troubleshooting

Panel not adhering properly

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Use the recommended adhesive and apply it evenly. Check if the surface is too porous and may require priming.

Difficulty cutting the panels cleanly

Use a sharp, fresh blade on your utility knife or craft knife. Score the panel firmly and make multiple passes if necessary for a clean cut.

Visible seams after installation

Ensure panels are butted up tightly against each other during installation. Stagger the joins between rows to minimize their visibility. Consider a slight overlap if the design allows, or use a thin bead of matching caulk in the seam if appropriate for the finish.

Surface looks uneven or bubbly

This is often due to insufficient adhesive or trapped air. Smooth the panel firmly from the center outwards after application. If bubbles persist, carefully prick them with a fine needle and press flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation:

Ensure the surface where the panels will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Minor imperfections should be smoothed out. For best results, prime porous surfaces like plaster or drywall.

Installation:

Measure and cut panels using a sharp utility knife or craft knife. Apply a suitable wallpaper adhesive to the back of the panel or directly to the wall, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Press the panel firmly into place, ensuring a snug fit against adjacent panels. Stagger the joins for a more natural look.

Compatibility:

These panels are suitable for application on most interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. Avoid installation in areas with direct, prolonged exposure to high humidity or moisture, such as shower enclosures.

Care:

To clean, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the surface finish. Gentle wiping is sufficient to maintain the panel's appearance.
