FAQs
What type of paste should I use?
You should use a high-quality `ready-mixed wallpaper paste` specifically formulated for `non-woven wallpapers`. These pastes are designed to be applied directly to the wall.
Can I install this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
No, it is strongly recommended to remove all existing wallpaper before installation. Applying over old wallpaper can lead to poor adhesion, visible imperfections, and an uneven finish.
Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While the non-woven material is durable, this wallpaper is not specifically designed for high-humidity environments. If used in a bathroom or kitchen, ensure the area is well-ventilated to prevent moisture accumulation and potential peeling.
How do I match the pattern?
The wallpaper features a `straight match` pattern repeat (Info needed: specific repeat length). When cutting your strips, unroll the next piece and align it with the previously cut piece on a flat surface to ensure the pattern flows continuously before applying to the wall.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
The wallpaper is `wipeable`. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away any marks or dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the texture and print.
Can this wallpaper be painted?
This wallpaper is designed to be a finished decorative product with its inherent colour and 3D wood slat pattern. Painting over it is not recommended as it would diminish the realistic texture and intended visual effect.
How many rolls do I need for my room?
To calculate the number of rolls, measure the perimeter of your room and the height of your walls. Consult a wallpaper calculator or your retailer, considering the pattern repeat to account for waste during matching. It's always advisable to purchase an extra roll to ensure colour consistency and for future repairs.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appear after hanging.
Smooth the wallpaper from the center outwards immediately after hanging using a wallpaper brush or smoother. For stubborn bubbles, gently lift a section and re-smooth, or carefully pierce with a fine needle and smooth out the trapped air.
Wallpaper seams are visible or lifting.
Ensure strips are perfectly butted together during installation, not overlapped. If seams lift after drying, apply a small amount of `seam adhesive` with a fine brush underneath the seam and press firmly into place with a seam roller.
Wallpaper is not adhering properly to the wall.
This often indicates improper wall preparation (dusty, greasy, or unprimed porous surfaces) or insufficient paste. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and primed. Apply a generous, even layer of quality non-woven wallpaper paste. For areas that won't stick, gently peel back and re-paste, or use a `border or seam adhesive`.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This non-woven wallpaper is designed for straightforward installation, but proper preparation is key for a flawless finish.
Setup Instructions
- Prepare the Walls: Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from old wallpaper, grease, or flaky paint. Fill any holes or cracks and sand rough areas. For best results, prime porous walls or dark surfaces to ensure uniform colour and adhesion.
- Measure and Cut: Measure the height of your wall, adding 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) extra to each strip for trimming. Cut the first strip, then unroll and match the pattern for subsequent strips before cutting.
- Apply Paste to the Wall: Use a good quality `ready-mixed wallpaper paste` designed for non-woven wallpapers. Apply the paste directly to the wall section where the first strip will go, slightly wider than the strip itself.
- Hang the First Strip: Carefully position the first strip at the top of the wall, ensuring it's straight (use a plumb line). Smooth it down with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Match and Hang Subsequent Strips: Align the next strip's pattern precisely with the previous one. Apply paste to the wall and smooth the strip into place, ensuring seams are tightly butted together.
- Trim Excess: Once all strips are hung, carefully trim excess paper at the ceiling and skirting boards using a sharp knife and a straight edge.
- Clean Up: Gently wipe away any excess paste from the wallpaper surface and seams with a clean, damp sponge before it dries.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: Compatible with most smooth, clean, and dry interior walls. Not recommended for textured or uneven surfaces without prior preparation.
- Rooms: Suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, home offices, and other residential spaces. Ensure adequate ventilation in bathrooms or kitchens if used there.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: The non-woven material is generally `wipeable`. Gently clean any marks with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the surface or pattern.
- Maintenance: Regularly dust the wallpaper to maintain its appearance. Address any loose seams promptly with a small amount of wallpaper adhesive.
- Longevity: With proper installation and care, this durable wallpaper is designed to last for years.
