FAQs

What does 'offset match' mean?

Offset match, also known as drop or half drop match, means that the pattern on each strip is shifted, and you need to align it accordingly.

What is 'paste-the-wall' wallpaper?

Paste-the-wall wallpaper means you apply the paste directly to the wall, not to the back of the wallpaper.

Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?

While the wallpaper is spongeable, excessive moisture is not recommended. Ensure good ventilation.

How do I remove the wallpaper?

The wallpaper is fully strippable. Start at a seam and peel the paper away from the wall.

What kind of paste should I use?

Use a paste-the-wall adhesive that is suitable for non-woven wallpaper.

Where can I find the batch number?

The batch number is usually printed on the wallpaper label.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper not sticking to the wall

Ensure the wall is properly prepared and the correct paste-the-wall adhesive is used. Apply sufficient paste and smooth out any air bubbles.

Pattern not aligning

Double-check the offset match instructions. Measure and align the pattern carefully before adhering the wallpaper to the wall.

Color variations between rolls

Verify that all wallpaper rolls have the same batch number before hanging.
