FAQs
What is a 'paste the wall' wallpaper?
'Paste the wall' means you apply the adhesive directly onto the wall surface, rather than soaking the wallpaper itself. This generally makes the hanging process quicker and less messy.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Each roll covers approximately 5.25 square meters (56 sq.ft). Measure the width and height of your walls to calculate the total square meterage, then divide by 5.25. Always round up to the nearest whole roll and account for the pattern repeat (32cm offset match) to minimize waste.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom or kitchen?
While the vinyl is durable and scrubbable, it's best suited for living areas and bedrooms. For very humid environments like bathrooms or kitchens, ensure adequate ventilation, or consider a wallpaper specifically designed for high-moisture areas.
How do I remove this wallpaper when I want to redecorate?
This wallpaper is designed to be strippable. Start at a seam and peel the wallpaper downwards. If it doesn't come off easily, lightly dampen it with water (do not saturate) and try again. Any remaining adhesive can be washed off with warm water.
What is the pattern repeat and match type?
The pattern repeat is 32cm, and it has an offset match. This means that after hanging one strip, the next strip needs to be shifted up or down by half of the pattern repeat (16cm) to ensure the pattern aligns correctly across the seam.
What adhesive should I use?
Use a high-quality, ready-mixed or powdered wallpaper adhesive specifically recommended for 'paste the wall' vinyl wallpapers. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
What does 'good light fastness' mean?
'Good light fastness' indicates that the wallpaper's colors are resistant to fading when exposed to normal levels of daylight over time.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering well
Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Verify that the correct type of wallpaper adhesive for 'paste the wall' vinyl has been used and applied evenly to the wall surface.
Visible seams or gaps
Ensure edges are butted together precisely without overlap. Check that the adhesive is adequately applied along the edges of the strip and the wall.
Bubbles or imperfections after hanging
Use a wallpaper smoothing tool or a clean cloth to gently push air bubbles towards the nearest edge. Small imperfections may be disguised by the textured finish over time, but significant bubbles may require careful lifting and re-smoothing.
Color discrepancy between rolls
This can occur if rolls are from different batch numbers. Always check that all rolls have the same batch number before starting. If a discrepancy is found, contact the retailer immediately.
