FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use for this wallpaper?
This is a paste-the-wall product. Use a high-quality, pre-mixed or powder wallpaper adhesive suitable for paper-backed acrylic wallpapers. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
The wallpaper has a washable finish. Gently wipe clean with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
What does a 'straight pattern match' mean?
A straight pattern match means that the pattern on the adjacent strips of wallpaper needs to align horizontally across the seam. For this wallpaper, the match is 53cm, indicating that the pattern repeats every 53cm.
Can this wallpaper be used in a high-traffic area?
Yes, the durable and washable acrylic substrate makes it suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways or living rooms, provided it is cared for properly.
What is the difference between this and real grasscloth?
This wallpaper offers the aesthetic of grasscloth with a realistic woven effect but is made from a paper-backed acrylic substrate. This makes it more durable, easier to clean, and generally more forgiving to hang than natural grasscloth.
How many rolls do I need for my room?
To determine the number of rolls, measure the width and height of your walls, calculate the total square footage, and factor in the roll dimensions (10.05m x 0.53m) and the pattern repeat. It is recommended to always order slightly more than calculated to account for errors or future repairs.
Does the metallic shimmer require special lighting?
The metallic highlights are designed to catch ambient light. While they will appear more pronounced in well-lit spaces, they offer a subtle glow even in lower light conditions, adding a sophisticated touch without being overpowering.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or lifting after application
Ensure the wall was properly prepared and pasted. Gently lift the edge of the wallpaper and reapply paste to the wall if dry, or press down firmly with a wallpaper brush or smoother to remove air pockets while the paste is still wet.
Pattern does not align correctly
Carefully adjust the position of the strip before the paste sets. Check that you are using the correct 53cm straight pattern match. Ensure the previous strip was hung perfectly plumb.
Wallpaper appears dull or not as metallic as expected
The metallic highlights are designed to be subtle. Ensure the room has adequate lighting to showcase the shimmer. The appearance can vary with natural and artificial light sources.
Difficulty removing wallpaper during redecoration
While this is a washable wallpaper, it is designed for longevity. If removal is difficult, a steamer or a dedicated wallpaper remover solution may be required to soften the adhesive.
