Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I apply this to a textured surface?

For best adhesion, surfaces should be smooth and clean. Heavy textures may prevent the vinyl from adhering properly.

What tools do I need for application?

You will need a utility cutter for trimming, a felt edge smoother to apply pressure and remove bubbles, and a hairdryer (on low setting) for curved areas.

How long does the heat resistance last?

The vinyl is heat resistant up to 70°C. Prolonged or direct exposure to higher temperatures can damage the material.

Is this product suitable for food preparation surfaces?

Yes, the surface is wipe-clean and durable. However, always use cutting boards for preparing food to protect the vinyl.

Can I re-apply the vinyl if I make a mistake?

Yes, the water-based adhesive allows you to lift and reposition the vinyl during application if you make a mistake.

How do I clean the vinyl wrap?

Simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water. Wipe spills promptly.

Will this damage my original surface when removed?

The vinyl is designed to be removable. Heating it gently with a hairdryer can help soften the adhesive and facilitate easier, less damaging removal.

Is this product safe for use in kitchens?

Yes, the material is phthalate-free and made in Germany. It's suitable for kitchen surfaces when used according to care instructions, including using sealant around wet areas.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or creases during application

Gently lift the vinyl and re-apply, using a felt edge smoother to push out air. For stubborn bubbles, a small pinprick may allow air to escape.

Vinyl not sticking properly

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Reheat slightly with a hairdryer on a low setting and press firmly.

Difficulty moulding around curved edges

Use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently heat the vinyl. This will make it more pliable and easier to stretch and shape around curves.

Lifting edges around sink/hob

This indicates a potential breach for moisture. Remove the vinyl slightly, clean the edge, and reapply with a suitable silicone sealant along the edge.

Vinyl is difficult to remove

Heat the vinyl gently with a hairdryer on a low setting. This will soften the adhesive, making it easier to peel back.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Measure and cut the vinyl wrap using the grid on the reverse for guidance.

  4. Carefully align the vinyl and begin to apply, using a felt edge smoother to press down and remove air bubbles as you go.
  5. For curved edges, use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently heat and mould the vinyl.
  6. Trim any excess material with a utility cutter.
  7. For areas around sinks and hobs, apply a silicone sealant to the edges to prevent water or dirt from getting underneath.
