FAQs
How much wallpaper do I need?
Measure the height and width of your walls (excluding windows/doors unless they are very large). Calculate the total square meterage and divide by the roll coverage (10.05m length x roll width - Info needed: roll width, assuming 0.53m for now, making it approx. 5.3m² per roll). Always factor in extra for pattern repeat and wastage, typically adding 10-15% or ordering one extra roll.
What type of paste should I use?
For 'paste-the-wall' wallpaper, use a high-quality, ready-mixed 'paste-the-wall' or all-purpose wallpaper adhesive. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations on the wallpaper label for best results.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While this wallpaper adds texture, it is not specifically designed for high-humidity environments. For bathrooms, ensure excellent ventilation to prevent moisture damage and peeling. It's generally best suited for drier areas of the home.
Is the wallpaper easy to remove?
Paste-the-wall wallpapers are generally easier to remove than traditional wallpapers, often peeling off in full strips when the time comes for a change. However, proper wall preparation and primer can also aid in easier removal.
What is the pattern repeat?
Info needed: The exact pattern repeat for the Asperia Metro Plaid wallpaper is typically found on the roll's label. This measurement is crucial for accurately cutting strips and matching the pattern across seams.
How do I clean the embossed surface?
The embossed surface can be gently dusted with a soft, dry cloth. For light marks, wipe carefully with a barely damp sponge and a very mild, diluted soap solution. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh chemicals to preserve the texture and finish.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles appear under the wallpaper
Gently smooth out bubbles with a wallpaper brush or plastic smoother, working from the center to the edges. For stubborn bubbles, use a pin to carefully puncture the center and then smooth the air out.
Wallpaper seams are visible
Ensure strips are carefully butt-jointed during application, not overlapped. If visible after drying, a seam roller can sometimes help press down edges. For wide gaps, a touch-up pen matched to the background colour can minimize visibility.
Wallpaper is not sticking properly in places
Ensure walls were clean and properly primed. If an area lifts, carefully peel back the section, apply more adhesive to the wall, and re-smooth into place. For corners or edges, a seam adhesive can be used.
Plaid pattern does not align perfectly
This often occurs during initial hanging. Before the adhesive sets, carefully slide the wallpaper strip to align the pattern. Precise pre-measurement and cutting are crucial to minimize this issue. Start hanging from a discreet corner if pattern matching is a concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Prepare Your Walls: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Fill any large holes or cracks and sand down rough areas. Apply a wallpaper primer if your walls are porous or newly plastered.
- Measure and Cut: Measure your wall height, adding an extra 5-10cm to the top and bottom for trimming. Cut your first strip, then lay it out to match the pattern for subsequent strips, ensuring the plaid aligns perfectly.
- Apply Paste to Wall: Using a roller, apply a high-quality wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall for the width of your first strip. Ensure even coverage.
- Hang the Wallpaper: Carefully position the first strip at the top of the wall, allowing for the extra trim. Smooth it down with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove any air bubbles.
- Trim Excess: Once positioned, use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to trim the excess paper at the top and bottom.
- Repeat and Match: Repeat the process for subsequent strips, carefully matching the plaid pattern at the seams to create a seamless look. Butt joints tightly together; do not overlap.
Compatibility
This wallpaper is compatible with most interior wall surfaces that are clean, dry, and properly prepared. It is designed for residential use in areas like living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms. Avoid use in high-moisture areas like bathrooms without adequate ventilation, as this can affect longevity.
Care
To maintain the appearance of your Asperia Metro Wallpaper:
- Gentle Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, gently wipe with a damp, soft sponge and mild soap solution. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Do not saturate the wallpaper with water. Excessive moisture can damage the paper and adhesive.
- Protect from Direct Sunlight: While generally colourfast, prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading over many years. Consider curtains or blinds for rooms with strong sun exposure.
