FAQs

Is this wallpaper pre-pasted?

No, the As Creation Wood Slat Effect Wallpaper is typically a 'paste-the-wall' type. You will need to apply a suitable non-woven wallpaper adhesive directly to your wall before hanging the strips.

Can this wallpaper be painted over?

This wallpaper is designed with a specific wood slat effect and grey color. While technically possible to paint over, it is not recommended as it would cover the intended design and texture, potentially diminishing its aesthetic appeal. There is also no guarantee on paint adhesion or finish.

How do I calculate how many rolls I need?

Measure the total perimeter of the room and the height of the walls. Each roll typically covers approximately 5.3 square meters (0.53m width x 10.05m length). Account for pattern repeat and wastage by adding about 10-15% extra to your calculation. It is always better to have an extra roll than to run short.

Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, this wallpaper features 'Good Moisture Resistance,' making it suitable for well-ventilated bathrooms where it's not directly exposed to water spray. Ensure proper ventilation to manage humidity levels.

How do I remove this wallpaper?

For non-woven wallpapers applied with the correct adhesive, removal is usually quite straightforward. It can often be dry-stripped from the wall in full sheets, leaving the wall surface intact without much damage. No steaming or chemical removers are typically required.

What kind of adhesive should I use?

We recommend using a high-quality, ready-mixed adhesive specifically designed for non-woven wallpapers. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper bubbles or lifts after drying.

Ensure proper surface preparation before hanging, including priming. When hanging, smooth out all air bubbles thoroughly with a wallpaper smoother, working from the center outwards. For existing bubbles, a small incision and adhesive injection can sometimes fix them.

Seams are visible or lifting.

During installation, ensure edges are firmly pressed together with a seam roller. If seams lift later, carefully apply a seam adhesive underneath the lifted edge and press down.

Pattern misalignment between strips.

Always cut subsequent strips by aligning them with the previous one to ensure pattern continuity. Use a plumb line for the first strip to ensure a perfectly straight starting point, as subsequent strips rely on this.

Wallpaper will not stick.

Verify the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Ensure you are using the correct type and amount of wallpaper adhesive for your specific product (e.g., 'paste-the-wall' for non-woven). Ensure the adhesive is not expired.

Fading or discoloration over time.

This wallpaper has enhanced fade resistance. However, extreme, prolonged direct sunlight exposure can affect any material. Consider using UV-filtering window treatments in highly sunlit areas to prolong its life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wall: Ensure your wall surface is clean, dry, smooth, and free of loose paint or debris. Fill any holes or cracks and sand rough areas. For best results, prime the wall, especially if it's new plaster or a dark color.
  2. Measure and Cut: Measure the height of your wall, adding a few extra inches to the top and bottom for trimming. Cut the first strip, then use it as a guide for subsequent strips, ensuring the wood slat pattern aligns.
  3. Apply Adhesive: Apply a high-quality wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall (this is often a 'paste-the-wall' type for non-woven wallpapers) or to the back of the wallpaper strip, as recommended by the adhesive manufacturer.
  4. Hang the Wallpaper: Starting from a corner near a window, hang the first strip vertically, using a plumb line to ensure it's straight. Smooth out bubbles with a wallpaper brush or smoother. Repeat for subsequent strips, carefully aligning the pattern and pressing seams firmly together.
  5. Trim Excess: Use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling, floor, and around obstacles.

Compatibility

This wallpaper is generally compatible with most standard interior wall surfaces, including plasterboard, skimmed plaster, and painted walls, provided they are properly prepared. It is best suited for dry, stable environments, although its moisture resistance makes it versatile.

Care and Maintenance

Due to its good moisture resistance, this wallpaper is relatively easy to care for.

  • Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light marks.
  • Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution on a soft sponge, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and pat dry.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemical detergents, as these can damage the wallpaper's surface or color.
  • Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in moist environments to prevent excessive moisture buildup.
