FAQs

What dimensions does this vinyl wrap come in?

Each roll is 1 metre in length and 45 cm in width.

Can I use this on a slightly curved surface?

Yes, a hairdryer can be used to gently warm the vinyl, making it more pliable to conform to slightly curved edges.

How do I clean the vinyl wrap?

You can wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. It is recommended to wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.

Is this vinyl wrap safe for use in kitchens?

Yes, it is suitable for kitchen doors and surfaces that are not exposed to direct heat above 70ºC. It is also phthalate-free.

How long will the vinyl wrap last?

The product has a 1-year guarantee, but its durability depends on the application surface and care provided. It is designed to be wipeable and resistant to wear.

Can I remove the vinyl wrap later without damaging the surface?

Yes, gentle heating with a hairdryer can soften the adhesive for removal. However, results may vary depending on the original surface finish and how long the vinyl has been applied.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or wrinkles appear after application.

Gently lift the affected area of the vinyl and re-smooth it with a felt edge smoother, working from the center outwards. For stubborn bubbles, you can carefully prick them with a fine needle and then smooth down.

Vinyl is not sticking well.

Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. Re-apply gentle heat with a hairdryer to activate the adhesive if necessary, then press firmly.

Difficulty cutting clean edges.

Use a very sharp utility cutter or craft knife and a metal ruler for a guide. Make sure the vinyl is held taut during cutting.

The vinyl tears during application.

Ensure you are not pulling too hard on the vinyl. If a tear occurs, you may need to cut out the damaged section and patch it with a new piece, or restart with a new sheet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and completely smooth. Remove any dust, grease, or old adhesive.
  2. Measure and Cut: Unroll the vinyl and measure the required area. Use the cutting grid on the reverse side to make straight cuts with a utility knife or scissors.
  3. Apply: Peel back a small section of the backing paper. Carefully align the vinyl with the edge of the surface and begin to stick. Slowly peel off the remaining backing paper while smoothing the vinyl down with a felt edge smoother or a soft cloth, working from the center outwards to eliminate air bubbles.
  4. Trim: Use a sharp utility cutter to trim any excess material around the edges.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for any smooth, flat, and non-porous surface.
  • Examples include painted walls (ensure paint is well-adhered), laminate, wood, glass, metal, and plastic.
  • Not recommended for textured, unpainted, or very rough surfaces.

Care:

  • Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the surface. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
  • Heat Resistance: The vinyl is heat resistant up to 70ºC (158ºF). Do not place hot pans or dishes directly on the surface.
  • Removal: To remove the vinyl, gently heat it with a hairdryer. This will soften the adhesive, allowing for easier removal without damaging the underlying surface.
