FAQs

What does 'Paste the Wall' application mean?

'Paste the Wall' means you apply the wallpaper adhesive directly onto the wall surface, rather than onto the back of the wallpaper itself. This method is generally quicker and less messy than traditional paste-the-paper methods.

What is a 'Free Pattern Match'?

A free pattern match indicates that you do not need to align the pattern from one strip to the next. You can hang subsequent strips side-by-side without concern for pattern repetition, simplifying the installation process.

How do I clean this wallpaper?

The wallpaper is scrubbable, meaning you can gently clean it with a damp cloth or sponge and mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the textured surface.

What is a non-woven substrate?

A non-woven substrate is a high-quality material made from a blend of textile fibers. It is known for its durability, breathability, and ease of application, and it does not expand or contract significantly when wet.

How much area does one roll cover?

Each roll measures 10.05 meters in length and 53 centimeters in width, providing substantial coverage for your walls. It's always recommended to calculate your needs based on the dimensions of your room.

Is this wallpaper suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

While the wallpaper is scrubbable and has good lightfastness, it is best suited for living areas, bedrooms, and hallways. For very humid environments like bathrooms or high-moisture kitchens, specialized moisture-resistant wallpapers are typically recommended.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or wrinkles appear after application.

Ensure the adhesive is applied evenly to the wall and that the wallpaper is smoothed out thoroughly with a brush or roller from the center outwards. If bubbles persist, try gently lifting the affected area and re-smoothing.

Wallpaper is difficult to cut.

Use a sharp, new blade in your utility knife for clean cuts. Ensure the wallpaper is held taut against the surface while cutting.

Adhesive is not sticking the wallpaper to the wall.

Check that you are using the correct type of adhesive for non-woven wallpaper and that it has been mixed and applied according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared and not too porous.

Color appears different than expected.

Colors can vary slightly under different lighting conditions. Check a larger area or ensure adequate lighting. If the discrepancy is significant, check that you have the correct product batch.
