FAQs
What type of paste should I use?
Ready-mixed wallpaper paste is recommended for this paste-the-wall product. Ensure it is suitable for general purpose wallpapering.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
The wallpaper is spongeable, meaning you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge to remove light marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can I apply this over old wallpaper?
It's best to remove old wallpaper first. If the old wallpaper is firmly adhered and the surface is smooth, you can apply a good quality lining paper over it and then hang this wallpaper. However, stripping is always the preferred method for best results.
What is a 'free match' design?
A free match design means that there is no need to align a pattern between adjacent strips of wallpaper. You can hang each strip vertically without worrying about matching the design, which simplifies the application and reduces waste.
How many rolls do I need for my room?
Each roll covers approximately 5.32 square meters. Measure the square footage of the walls you intend to cover and divide by 5.32 to estimate the number of rolls needed. Always account for pattern repeat (though this is a free match) and potential waste from trimming.
Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms?
While the wallpaper is spongeable and wet removable, it is not designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or splash zones. For such areas, a vinyl wallpaper or proper sealing may be necessary.
How do I ensure color consistency?
When ordering, ensure all your rolls come from the same batch. The product information states that 'All rolls ordered together will share the same batch number', guaranteeing color consistency for your project.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear after application
Gently lift the affected section of wallpaper and re-apply, smoothing out the air bubbles with a wallpaper brush or smoother. Ensure paste is evenly distributed on the wall.
Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and dust-free). Check that the correct type of ready-mixed paste has been used and applied generously to the wall.
Color variation between rolls
Verify that all rolls used for the project have the same batch number. If different batch numbers were inadvertently used, contact customer support for advice on managing visible differences.
Difficulty trimming excess wallpaper
Use a very sharp wallpaper trimming knife and a metal straight edge. Replace the blade frequently to ensure clean cuts. Allow the paste to set slightly before trimming for cleaner edges.
