FAQs

What is a 'Paste the Paper' installation?

Paste the Paper means you apply the wallpaper adhesive directly to the back of the wallpaper itself, rather than to the wall. The paper is then 'booked' (folded paste-to-paste) for a short period before being applied to the wall.

What does 'Free Match' mean for this wallpaper?

A Free Match indicates that there is no pattern to align between wallpaper drops. You can hang each strip next to the other without worrying about matching motifs, which simplifies the hanging process and reduces waste.

Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

While the wallpaper is washable, it is generally recommended for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. For kitchens and bathrooms, consider using wallpapers specifically designed for these high-moisture environments to ensure longevity and prevent potential issues.

How do I clean the wallpaper?

You can clean the wallpaper by gently wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive amounts of water.

Is this wallpaper removable?

Yes, this wallpaper is described as peelable, meaning it can be removed by peeling it off the wall when you wish to redecorate. It's best to start at a seam and peel slowly.

What kind of adhesive should I use?

For Paste the Paper application, it is recommended to use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for vinyl or heavier-duty wallpapers. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for the best results.

How many rolls do I need for my room?

To determine the number of rolls needed, measure the width and height of your walls, calculate the total square footage, and compare this to the coverage stated on the product's packaging. It's always advisable to purchase an extra roll to account for any mistakes or future repairs.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or air pockets after hanging

Gently lift the affected area and re-smooth with a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool, ensuring good adhesion. For small, persistent bubbles, a small pinprick can sometimes release trapped air.

Wallpaper not adhering properly

Check that the wall surface was clean and dry, and that sufficient adhesive was applied to both the paper and the wall. Ensure the correct type of adhesive for paste-the-paper vinyl wallpaper was used.

Seams are visible or lifting

Ensure seams are butted together closely and smoothed down firmly. If lifting occurs, carefully apply a small amount of wallpaper adhesive to the seam edge with a fine brush and press back into place.

Difficulty trimming excess paper

Use a very sharp trimming knife or blade and a straight edge (like a ruler or spirit level) for clean, precise cuts. Change blades frequently as dull blades can tear the paper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a high-quality, realistic wood panel effect without the cost or complexity of real wood.
  • The washable surface makes it suitable for high-traffic areas or spaces prone to minor marks.
  • Paste the paper application is generally simpler and quicker than other wallpaper types.
  • The free match system simplifies installation, especially for beginners.
  • Peelable nature aids in future renovations or redecorating.

Cons

  • Requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion and finish.
  • May not be suitable for heavily textured or uneven walls without proper priming.
  • As with any wallpaper, potential for bubbles or seams if not applied correctly.
  • The 'brown' color may not fit all existing decor schemes, requiring careful consideration.
  • Durability may be less than more robust materials in extremely harsh environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, smooth, and free from old wallpaper or loose paint. Prime if necessary.
  2. Apply Adhesive: Using a good quality wallpaper adhesive suitable for paste-the-paper vinyl, apply generously and evenly to the back of the wallpaper.
  3. Book the Paper: Fold the pasted paper onto itself (paste to paste) and allow it to rest for the manufacturer's recommended time to become pliable.
  4. Hang the Paper: Unfold the first drop and position it against the wall, ensuring it is level. Smooth out any air bubbles using a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool.
  5. Trim Excess: Trim any excess paper at the ceiling and skirting board using a sharp trimming knife.
  6. Continue Hanging: Apply subsequent drops, ensuring the pattern (if applicable, though this is a free match) aligns and that seams are butted together neatly.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most interior walls that are properly prepared.
  • Best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining areas.
  • While washable, it's recommended to avoid direct, prolonged exposure to moisture (e.g., in shower areas).

Care:

  • To clean, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water, which could damage the paper or adhesive.
