FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a high-quality, ready-mixed or powder adhesive specifically designed for 'unpasted' or 'paste-the-wall' wallpapers. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for preparation and application.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
The wallpaper is washable. For light cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What does 'random match' mean?
A random match means that the pattern does not need to be aligned precisely between vertical strips of wallpaper. This simplifies the hanging process and can reduce waste compared to designs with a specific pattern repeat.
Can I hang this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is washable, it is not specifically designed for high-moisture environments. For use in bathrooms or kitchens, it's recommended to apply a suitable wallpaper sealant after installation to protect it from steam and humidity.
How much area does one roll cover?
One roll measures 52cm wide by 10m long and is designed to cover approximately 5.2 square metres (56 square feet), assuming minimal pattern repeat wastage.
Is this wallpaper strippable?
Yes, this wallpaper is described as peelable, meaning it can be removed more easily when you decide to redecorate, often coming off in large sections without excessive scraping.
What is the texture of the wallpaper?
The wallpaper has a subtle soft linen effect, giving it a textured appearance and feel that adds depth to the design.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or blemishes appear after hanging.
Gently push air bubbles towards the nearest edge with a clean, soft brush or cloth. If the adhesive is still wet, you may be able to lift and re-smooth the paper. For dried bubbles, a small slit with a pin and pressing flat may help.
Pattern doesn't align correctly between strips.
As this is a random match, minor variations are expected. Ensure strips are hung straight and butt-joined. If the mismatch is significant, check if the roll was cut evenly and consider adjusting the positioning slightly.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut cleanly.
Use a very sharp utility knife or a specialized wallpaper trimmer. Change the blade frequently for a clean cut, especially when trimming at edges and corners.
Adhesive is showing on the surface of the wallpaper.
Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately with a clean, damp sponge or cloth. Do not scrub, as this can damage the paper's surface.
