FAQs
What is the 'paste the wall' method?
With the 'paste the wall' method, you apply the wallpaper paste directly to the wall instead of the back of the wallpaper. This method is often easier and cleaner.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper has good lightfastness, it's best to avoid areas with high humidity or direct water exposure. Consider alternative options for bathrooms.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the height and width of the walls you plan to cover. Use these measurements and the roll dimensions (H:1005.0 x W:53.0 cm) to determine the number of rolls, accounting for pattern repeats and waste.
What kind of paste should I use?
Use a wallpaper paste specifically designed for non-woven substrates. Follow the paste manufacturer's instructions.
Is the wallpaper easy to remove?
Yes, the wallpaper is wet removable, which means it should come off easily when moistened. This makes it easier to replace or change the design in the future.
What does 'straight match' mean?
A straight match pattern means that the design elements on the wallpaper align horizontally across each strip. You need to match the pattern at the same height on each strip.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
This wallpaper is not designed to be painted. It's meant to be used as a decorative wall covering.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles appear after hanging.
Use a smoothing tool or soft brush to gently push the air bubbles toward the edges of the wallpaper. For persistent bubbles, you can prick them with a needle and smooth them down.
Seams are visible after drying.
Ensure the edges are tightly butted together during installation. Use a seam roller for a smooth finish. Check for proper pasting of the wall, sometimes the edges need more paste.
Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall.
Make sure you're using the correct paste for non-woven wallpaper. Ensure the wall is properly prepared and the paste is applied evenly. Check the expiry date of the paste.
