FAQs
What is 'Paste the Wall' wallpaper?
'Paste the Wall' wallpaper means you apply the adhesive directly to your wall, not to the back of the wallpaper. This method eliminates the need for a pasting table and reduces the soaking time, making the application process simpler and cleaner.
How do I measure how much wallpaper I need?
Measure the height and width of each wall you intend to cover. Add a few inches to each measurement for trimming. Divide the total width of the wall by the width of the wallpaper roll (53 cm for this product) to determine the number of drops needed. Always round up to the nearest whole number and account for the pattern repeat.
Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
It is generally recommended to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper for best results. Ensure the wall surface is smooth, clean, and dry. If you choose to hang over existing wallpaper, ensure the old paper is securely adhered and flat.
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a high-quality, ready-mixed or powder adhesive specifically designed for 'Paste the Wall' wallpapers. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
How durable is the embossed finish?
The embossed finish adds depth and texture. While it is designed to be durable for interior use, it should be treated with care to avoid scuffing or damage, especially during the application process.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
This wallpaper is intended for general interior use. While it can add beauty to bathrooms and kitchens, excessive moisture or steam can affect its performance and longevity. Ensure good ventilation if using in these areas.
What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?
The product description does not specify the pattern repeat. Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for detailed pattern repeat information, as this is crucial for accurate pattern matching during installation.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering to the wall
Ensure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, and sound). Use the correct type and amount of adhesive as recommended for 'Paste the Wall' wallpapers. Check that the adhesive is applied evenly.
Air bubbles or wrinkles appearing
Use a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool to gently push air bubbles towards the edges as you hang each strip. If bubbles appear after drying, you may be able to carefully prick them with a fine needle and smooth them down.
Pattern doesn't align correctly
Carefully adjust the positioning of the next strip before the adhesive sets. Ensure you are using the correct pattern repeat measurement. For significant misalignment, it may be necessary to remove and re-hang the affected strips.
Embossed texture is damaged during application
Handle the wallpaper with care. Use a soft smoothing tool and avoid excessive pressure. If damage occurs, it may be difficult to repair without affecting the overall look; consider using that strip in a less visible area if possible.
