This Stick-It Metallic Embossed Lampshade Vinyl in Bronze is designed for crafters and DIY enthusiasts looking to create or repair hard-backed lampshades. Its key benefit is adding a decorative, warm glow to the inside of a lampshade with a subtle embossed texture. A potential consideration is its opaque nature, meaning no light will pass through it.

The 1460mm x 500mm roll is sufficient to repair or replace a lampshade approximately 450mm in diameter and 500mm in height.
No, this vinyl is designed as a blockout material, meaning no light will travel through it. It is intended for decorative interior effects.
Yes, it complies with BS EN 60598-1-2008, the British Standard for Luminaries, and has passed the glow wire test.
The release paper has a grid printed on it, which you can use as a guide for precise cutting.
The vinyl is UV stabilized, which helps to prevent yellowing and maintain its color clarity over time.
While it meets fire safety standards, it's always recommended to use energy-efficient LED bulbs that generate less heat to ensure longevity and safety.
A soft, slightly damp cloth is recommended for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Ensure the surface of the lampshade is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Try applying gentle heat with a hairdryer on a low setting to improve adhesion.
Slowly lift the section of vinyl and reapply, smoothing out bubbles as you go. For small bubbles, a pinprick can release trapped air.
Apply the vinyl slowly and steadily. If a small tear occurs, it can sometimes be repaired by carefully applying a small patch or using a strong adhesive designed for vinyl.
Ensure the vinyl is applied smoothly without stretching. The embossed pattern is inherent to the material's design.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This vinyl is specifically engineered for making or repairing hard-backed lampshades. It adheres best to smooth, clean surfaces typically found on lampshade frames or existing coverings.
Care:
Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. The UV stabilization helps prevent yellowing, and the dust-repellent treatment reduces the need for frequent deep cleaning.
