FAQs
What does 'paste-the-wall' mean?
Paste-the-wall means you apply the wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall surface, not to the back of the wallpaper. This makes the hanging process faster and often less messy.
What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?
The pattern repeat for the Joules Heritage Stripe Wallpaper is 53cm. This means that every 53cm down the roll, the pattern will repeat.
Can this wallpaper be cleaned easily?
This wallpaper is sponge clean only. You can use a damp cloth or sponge to gently wipe away minor marks or dust. It is not fully washable.
How many rolls do I need for my room?
To determine the number of rolls, measure the total width of the walls you wish to cover and divide by 0.52 meters (the width of one roll). Account for the pattern repeat and any wastage. It is recommended to buy slightly more than calculated to ensure consistency.
What type of adhesive should I use?
You should use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for paste-the-wall applications. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom?
Due to its sponge-clean-only nature and potential for moisture, it is not ideal for high-humidity areas like bathrooms. It is better suited for living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways with low moisture levels.
What are the dimensions of one roll?
Each roll of Joules Heritage Stripe Wallpaper measures 52 cm in width and 10 meters in length.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Verify that the correct type and amount of wallpaper adhesive for paste-the-wall application have been used. Allow adequate drying time for the paste on the wall.
Visible air bubbles after hanging
Immediately after hanging a strip, use a wallpaper brush or roller to smooth it from the center outwards, pushing out any trapped air. If bubbles appear after drying, they may be difficult to remove; try gently lifting the edge and re-smoothing if possible.
Pattern not aligning correctly
Ensure the 53cm pattern repeat is accurately measured and matched between strips. Use a spirit level for each strip to maintain vertical alignment. Adjust the positioning of the current strip before the paste begins to set.
Difficulty trimming excess wallpaper
Use a very sharp, fresh blade in a utility knife or craft knife. Use a straight edge (like a metal ruler or a specialized wallpaper trimming guide) for clean, straight cuts along the ceiling, corners, and skirting boards.
