FAQs

What is the maximum length I can order without a joint?

You can order continuous lengths of up to 15 meters without a joint by adjusting the quantity in the box at the top of the page. Each unit is 1 meter x 90cm.

Can I use this on a textured surface?

For best results and adhesion, this film is designed for smooth surfaces. Textured surfaces may lead to poor adhesion and visible texture through the film.

Is this product safe for use in food preparation areas?

The product is phthalate-free and made in Germany. It is wipeable and suitable for surfaces like countertops. However, it is not suitable for direct contact with hot pans.

How do I clean the film?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish. Promptly wipe up spills to prevent staining.

What should I do if I make a mistake during application?

The film is repositionable during application. You can carefully lift the applied section and reapply it. Use a felt edge smoother to help remove any new air bubbles.

Is this vinyl suitable for areas with high humidity?

While wipeable, it's recommended to use sealant around edges in very humid areas or areas exposed to water, such as around sinks and hobs, to prevent moisture from lifting the vinyl.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Can I apply this film over existing wallpaper?

It is best applied to a clean, smooth, and solid surface. Applying over textured wallpaper or peeling wallpaper is not recommended as the film may not adhere well and could lift the existing wallpaper.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles trapped under the film.

Gently lift the edge of the film where the bubble is and reapply, using a felt edge smoother to push the air out. For stubborn bubbles, a very small pinprick can release trapped air.

Film is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean and dry. Re-apply the film, pressing firmly. If the adhesive has weakened, it may be difficult to reapply effectively.

Edges are lifting, especially near water.

Apply a suitable sealant around the edges where the film meets the surface, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms. Ensure the surface was dry before application.

Difficulty applying around curved edges.

Gently warm the film with a hairdryer on a low setting while applying. This makes the vinyl more pliable and easier to shape around curves.

The film needs to be removed.

Gently warm the film with a hairdryer on a low setting. This loosens the adhesive, allowing for cleaner removal. Peel slowly and carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface you intend to cover is clean, dry, and smooth. Peel back a small section of the backing paper and carefully align the film. Gradually peel away the backing while smoothing the film onto the surface using a felt edge smoother to eliminate air bubbles. Trim any excess with a utility cutter, using the grid on the reverse for guidance.

Compatibility: This vinyl film adheres best to flat, smooth, non-porous surfaces. It is suitable for furniture, countertops, doors, tabletops, and other similar home surfaces.

Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For best results and to avoid staining, wipe up spills immediately. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. In areas exposed to moisture, such as around sinks and hobs, apply a sealant to the edges to prevent water ingress and lifting. The film is heat resistant up to 70ºC but should not be used for direct contact with hot items.
