Product Information
Full details
This Grandeco Alba Pink Wallpaper is designed for homeowners seeking to add a warm, industrial aesthetic to their living spaces. Its key benefit lies in its realistic rough concrete effect and raised textured design, which not only adds depth but also effectively conceals uneven walls. A potential caveat is that the textured surface might require more careful cleaning than a smooth wallpaper. This product offers a modern twist with natural tones and subtle textures, creating a cozy industrial vibe that is easy to apply with a paste-the-wall method.

FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a high-quality, ready-mixed or powder adhesive specifically recommended for paste-the-wall wallpaper. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
While durable, it is best suited for living areas and bedrooms. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, consider wallpapers specifically designed for these environments.
How do I remove this wallpaper later?
Most modern wallpapers with a paste-the-wall application are strippable. Gently peel a corner; if it comes off cleanly, continue peeling. If it requires more effort, you may need to dampen it with warm water and a little wallpaper adhesive remover.
Is the pink color consistent throughout the roll?
Yes, the design features a consistent pink hue with variations in the concrete effect to create a natural, weathered look.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
This wallpaper is designed to be used as is. Painting over the textured concrete effect may alter its intended appearance and is generally not recommended.
What are the dimensions of each roll?
Standard roll dimensions typically apply, but please refer to the product packaging or retailer specifications for exact measurements.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering well to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly primed. Use the correct type and amount of wallpaper adhesive for paste-the-wall application.
Bubbles or air pockets appearing after hanging.
Gently smooth out bubbles towards the nearest edge using a wallpaper brush or smoother before the adhesive fully dries. If dried, small bubbles may disappear on their own as the wallpaper settles. For larger, persistent bubbles, carefully prick with a fine needle and press flat.
Pattern does not align correctly between strips.
Ensure you are using the correct pattern repeat and that strips are hung straight using a plumb line. Double-check the alignment before the adhesive sets.
Difficulty cutting the wallpaper cleanly.
Use a sharp, fresh blade in your utility knife. Replace the blade frequently for clean, precise cuts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from old wallpaper or loose paint. Prepare the wall surface by filling any large cracks or holes.
- Apply wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for paste-the-wall products directly to the wall surface.
- Hang the wallpaper strips one by one, butting the edges together without overlapping.

Compatibility:
This wallpaper is designed for application on most prepared interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is well-adhered).
Care:
To clean, use a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the textured finish. For stubborn marks, gently wipe with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Do not scrub.
