FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
This is a paste-the-paper wallpaper, so you should use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for this type of application. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
How do I measure my wall to know how many rolls I need?
Measure the width and height of your wall. Divide the total width by the wallpaper width (52cm) to get the number of strips needed. Account for the 53cm pattern repeat when calculating the number of rolls. It's always recommended to buy an extra roll to account for any mistakes or future repairs.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
While this wallpaper can be used in well-ventilated bathrooms, it is not recommended for very high-moisture environments or directly behind a shower due to its matte paper finish. Ensure good ventilation and consider a wallpaper sealer for added protection.
How do I remove this wallpaper later?
Most paste-the-paper wallpapers can be removed dry once adhered with a strippable adhesive. Start at a seam and gently peel away. If it's stubborn, a wallpaper steamer or a solution of warm water and adhesive remover can help.
What is an offset pattern match?
An offset pattern match means that the design on one strip does not perfectly align with the strip next to it at the top or bottom. Instead, you align it at a 'half-drop' point, typically meaning the pattern on the second strip starts halfway through its repeat. This usually requires cutting the second strip at an angle to match the first.
Is the white color prone to yellowing over time?
The material is designed for durability. Yellowing is not typically an issue with standard wallpaper if exposed to normal indoor light conditions. Avoid direct, prolonged sunlight which can fade colors over extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking properly
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, free from grease) and that the correct adhesive is used and applied evenly to the paper. Check that the adhesive has had adequate time to 'sit' before hanging.
Visible seams or pattern mismatch
Carefully re-trim edges if necessary. Ensure each strip is aligned precisely with the previous one, paying close attention to the 53cm offset pattern. Use a sharp blade for clean cuts.
Air bubbles or creases after hanging
Gently lift the edge of the wallpaper strip and re-smooth. For small bubbles, a pinprick can release air, followed by gentle pressing. Ensure you are smoothing from the center outwards.
Wallpaper tearing during application
Handle the paper gently, especially when wet with adhesive. Use a soft brush for smoothing rather than a hard roller that could snag the paper. Ensure paste is applied evenly to avoid weak spots.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Creates a high-end, natural stone look at a fraction of the cost.
- The matte finish adds a touch of understated luxury.
- Paste-the-paper application is generally less messy than other methods.
- Suitable for accent walls or entire rooms to transform the space.
- The 10m length offers good value and coverage.
Cons
- The offset pattern match requires careful attention to avoid visible seams.
- White color may show dirt or scuffs more readily than darker patterns.
- Matte finish can be harder to clean than washable vinyl wallpapers.
- Requires precise cutting for the offset pattern, potentially leading to more waste for beginners.
- Not suitable for high-moisture areas unless properly sealed.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint.
- Prepare your wallpaper adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions (for paste-the-paper application).
- Apply adhesive evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip.
- Allow the adhesive to 'cure' or 'sit' for the time recommended by the adhesive manufacturer (usually a few minutes).
- Hang the first strip, ensuring it is perfectly vertical using a spirit level.
- Align subsequent strips, paying close attention to the 53cm offset pattern match.
- Smooth out air bubbles with a clean brush or roller, working from the center outwards.
Compatibility:
This wallpaper is best suited for interior walls in dry, well-ventilated rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining areas. It is compatible with most standard wallpaper adhesives designed for paste-the-paper application.
Care:
To clean, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the matte finish and the paper itself. For stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution on the cloth and wipe dry immediately.
