FAQs

Is this wallpaper peel and stick?

No, this is a non-woven wallpaper, which requires applying wallpaper paste directly to the wall before hanging the strips. It is not a self-adhesive peel and stick product.

Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom or kitchen?

While durable, this wallpaper is generally recommended for areas with standard humidity levels like living rooms or bedrooms. It is not designed for high-moisture environments such as inside a shower or directly above a stovetop. Ensure good ventilation if used in a bathroom or kitchen.

How do I calculate how many rolls I need?

Measure the height and width of your wall(s). Multiply height by width to get the total square footage. Each roll is 10m long by 0.53m wide (5.3 square meters). Divide your total square footage by 5.3 and round up. Always add an extra roll for pattern matching and contingency, especially with a patterned design like this.

What type of wallpaper paste should I use?

You should use a high-quality, ready-mixed wallpaper paste specifically designed for non-woven wallpapers. These pastes are formulated to provide strong adhesion and easy application.

Can this wallpaper be painted over?

While technically possible, painting over a textured and patterned wallpaper like this would likely diminish its intended 3D wood slat effect and texture. It's designed to be used as is for its specific aesthetic.

Is the black color very dark or more subtle?

The wallpaper is designed to provide a distinct black wood slat appearance. While it will create a bold statement, the 3D effect and texture can add depth, preventing it from appearing as a flat, overwhelming dark surface. Lighting in your room will also significantly impact its perceived darkness.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper bubbles or wrinkles after drying.

This is often due to insufficient paste, uneven paste application, or trapped air. For small bubbles, you can try gently smoothing them out with a pin or knife tip and reapplying light pressure. For wrinkles, you may need to carefully peel back the section, reapply paste if needed, and smooth it again more thoroughly, ensuring even paste coverage.

Seams are visible or lifting.

Visible seams usually indicate strips were not butted together tightly enough or uneven pasting at the edges. Apply a small amount of seam adhesive directly to the lifting edge, press firmly, and wipe away any excess. Ensure the wall surface behind the seam is also clean and smooth.

Pattern doesn't align between strips.

This can happen if the first strip wasn't perfectly vertical or if the pattern repeat wasn't carefully matched. If possible, gently peel back the misaligned strip and re-position it. For best results, always use a plumb line for the first strip and dry-fit patterns before applying paste. Minor misalignments might be less noticeable if the overall effect is maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wall: Ensure your wall is clean, dry, smooth, and free of dust, grease, or loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For best results, prime porous surfaces.
  2. Gather Tools: You will need wallpaper paste for non-woven papers, a paste brush or roller, a plumb line or spirit level, a measuring tape, scissors, a wallpaper smoothing brush or squeegee, a utility knife, and a damp sponge.
  3. Measure and Cut: Measure your wall height, adding an extra 5-10 cm for trimming at the top and bottom. Cut your first strip. Always check for the pattern repeat > Info needed: [specific pattern repeat measurement for this wallpaper].
  4. Apply Paste: Unlike traditional wallpaper, you apply the paste directly to the wall for non-woven papers. Cover an area slightly wider than your wallpaper strip.
  5. Hang the First Strip: Use a plumb line to ensure your first strip is perfectly vertical. Carefully press the strip onto the pasted wall from top to bottom, smoothing out air bubbles with your brush or squeegee.
  6. Match and Hang Subsequent Strips: Align the next strip carefully, ensuring the wood slat pattern matches seamlessly with the previous one. Butt joints together tightly; do not overlap.
  7. Trim Excess: Once all strips are hung and smoothed, use a utility knife and a straight edge to carefully trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling, skirting boards, and around windows or doors.
  8. Clean Up: Immediately wipe off any excess paste from the wallpaper surface and skirting boards with a damp sponge.

Compatibility

  • Surfaces: Compatible with most smooth, dry, and prepared interior wall surfaces, including plasterboard, skimmed plaster, and painted walls.
  • Environment: Suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, home offices, and hallways. Avoid areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact like inside showers.

Care

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the texture or finish.
  • Maintenance: Regularly dust with a dry, soft cloth or a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to maintain its appearance.
