FAQs
Is this product suitable for a shower enclosure?
While the surface is waterproof and ideal for splashbacks, it is not designed for prolonged submersion or constant direct water exposure like a shower enclosure. It's best suited for areas with occasional splashes.
Can I apply this over painted drywall?
Yes, provided the painted drywall is smooth, clean, and dry. For best results, ensure the paint is not peeling or excessively textured.
How do I remove the wall covering?
Gently heat the covering with a hairdryer on a low setting, then carefully peel it away from the surface. Residual adhesive can be removed with a mild adhesive remover.
What is the best way to clean this material?
You can wipe it clean with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Can I apply this horizontally if my tiles are vertical?
The product is designed with a horizontal pattern. While you can apply it vertically, the aesthetic of the shabby wood effect might not be as intended, and you will need to cut and piece it more carefully.
What are the dimensions of the roll?
The product description does not specify the exact dimensions of the roll, but it is optimized for covering standard kitchen and bathroom tile mirrors in single pieces.
Does this product come in other colors or patterns?
Yes, D-C-Fix offers this type of wall covering in various colors and patterns, including Grey Sand Slate Brick, Slate Bricks, Mosaic Tile Effect, Vintage Brick, and White Subway Tile.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appear during application
Gently lift the applied section and reapply, smoothing with a soft cloth or squeegee from the center outwards to push out air.
Wall covering not sticking well
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. For difficult surfaces, consider using a spray adhesive specifically designed for vinyl or wallpaper.
Difficulty cutting the material
Use a sharp craft knife or utility blade and a straight edge for clean cuts. Replace blades frequently as dull blades can tear the material.
Pattern does not align correctly
Carefully adjust the positioning before the adhesive fully sets. If applied, gently peel back and reposition. For subsequent pieces, ensure a consistent overlap or butt joint as intended.
