FAQs

What does 'free match' mean for this wallpaper?

'Free match' means you do not need to align a specific pattern repeat between adjacent strips of wallpaper. You can hang the next strip right next to the previous one without worrying about matching a complex design, which simplifies the hanging process and can reduce waste.

Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom?

While the wallpaper is vinyl and scrubbable, it is best suited for rooms with normal humidity levels. For bathrooms, ensure excellent ventilation and consider using a specific waterproof adhesive and sealant to protect against excessive moisture.

How do I clean the wallpaper if it gets dirty?

The wallpaper is scrubbable. You can clean it with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

It is generally recommended to remove all old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper. If the existing wallpaper is sound, smooth, and well-adhered, it may be possible to wallpaper over it after ensuring the surface is clean and free from grease or mildew. However, for best results and longevity, stripping old wallpaper is advised.

What tools will I need to hang this wallpaper?

You will typically need a wallpaper adhesive, a paste brush or roller, a sharp utility knife or scissors, a straight edge or spirit level, a wallpaper brush or smoother, and a clean cloth or sponge.

How durable is this heavyweight vinyl wallpaper?

Heavyweight vinyl wallpaper is known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear, making it suitable for busy areas. It's designed to last and maintain its appearance over time.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper is not adhering well to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and primed). Check that the correct type of adhesive has been used and applied evenly. If the wall is porous, an extra coat of primer or a more heavy-duty adhesive might be needed.

Air bubbles or creases are visible after application.

Attempt to gently lift the affected section of wallpaper and re-smooth it using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center towards the edges. If the adhesive has already dried, it may be difficult to remove completely.

The 'free match' appears misaligned.

While designed as a free match, ensure strips are hung as straight and evenly as possible. Check if the wall itself is uneven, which might give the appearance of misalignment. Ensure a small overlap or butt joint is consistently maintained between strips.

Marks or stains are difficult to remove.

Gently use a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, try a mild soap solution applied sparingly with a cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper or loose paint.
  2. Apply a suitable wallpaper primer to ensure good adhesion, especially on previously painted surfaces.
  3. Cut wallpaper strips to the required length, allowing for slight overlap at the ceiling and skirting board.
  4. Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the wall or the back of the paper, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Hang the first strip, ensuring it is perfectly vertical using a spirit level. Subsequent strips can be hung side-by-side with minimal overlap due to the free match.
  6. Smooth out any air bubbles with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards.

Compatibility:

This wallpaper is designed for application on most prepared interior walls. It is suitable for use in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and hallways. For areas with higher moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms, ensure adequate ventilation and consider using a suitable paste and sealant.

Care:

The scrubbable nature of this wallpaper means it can be cleaned gently. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away light marks or dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the vinyl surface. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution may be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
