FAQs
What is the 'paste the wall' application method?
This method involves applying wallpaper adhesive directly onto the wall surface rather than onto the back of the wallpaper. The wallpaper strips are then hung directly onto the pasted wall. It is generally considered a cleaner and sometimes faster method than traditional wallpapering.
How much area does one roll of wallpaper cover?
One roll of this As Creation wallpaper measures 8.5 meters in length and 53 centimeters in width, making it suitable for covering an area of up to approximately 4.51 square meters.
What is a 'straight match' pattern repeat?
A straight match means that the pattern on each successive strip of wallpaper is aligned horizontally with the pattern on the previous strip at the same height. This is one of the simpler pattern matching techniques.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
Yes, this wallpaper is suitable for bathrooms, hallways, and kitchens. However, ensure good ventilation and avoid direct, prolonged exposure to steam or excessive moisture, as this can affect any wallpaper.
What type of adhesive should I use?
For best results and guaranteed compatibility, A.S. Création recommends using their specially formulated paste for non-woven wallpapers. This ensures excellent adhesive strength with the possibility of correction during application.
How do I clean this wallpaper?
You can gently wipe the wallpaper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, which could damage the matte, textured surface.
What is the pattern repeat size?
The pattern repeat for this wallpaper is 8 centimeters with a straight match.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper bubbles or wrinkles during application
Ensure the wall is properly prepared and free of debris. Apply adhesive evenly to the wall. Use a wallpaper brush to smooth out bubbles immediately after positioning the strip. If bubbles persist, carefully lift the strip and reapply.
Difficulty matching the pattern repeat
Carefully align the 8 cm pattern repeat before pressing the strip onto the wall. Use a level to ensure the first strip is perfectly vertical. Take your time and consider a second person to help guide the roll.
Adhesive is not sticking properly
Ensure you are using the recommended A.S. Création paste for non-woven wallpaper. Verify that the paste is applied evenly and sufficiently to the wall. Check that the wall surface is clean and dry.
Wallpaper tears during application
Handle the wallpaper gently. Ensure the paste is adequately applied to the wall to provide slip. If a tear occurs, carefully mend it with a small amount of adhesive if possible, or use a new strip if the damage is significant.
