Product Information

Full details

This D-C-Fix Premium Metallics Chequer Plate Silver vinyl wrap is for DIY enthusiasts and renters seeking to achieve an industrial chic look on surfaces quickly and affordably. Its key benefit is providing a high-end, metallic finish with easy application and repositionability, with a key caveat being its heat resistance limit of 70°C, making it unsuitable for direct contact with hot pans or as a hob splashback. Key features include its self-adhesive nature, water-based low-tack adhesive, removability, and durability.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this vinyl suitable for a kitchen splashback?

No, this vinyl is heat-resistant only up to 70°C and is not suitable for use as a splashback behind a hob where higher temperatures are present.

How do I clean the vinyl wrap?

You can wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive household cleaning products. Avoid using abrasive materials.

Can I reposition the vinyl if I make a mistake?

Yes, the water-based, low-tack adhesive allows you to peel back and reposition the vinyl during application if you don't get it right the first time.

How do I remove the vinyl wrap?

Gently warm the vinyl with a hairdryer on a medium setting and then carefully peel it back. Any remaining residue can be removed with warm, soapy water.

Will this vinyl work on textured surfaces?

This vinyl is best suited for smooth, non-porous surfaces. It may not adhere well or look its best on heavily textured or uneven surfaces.

Is it safe to place hot cups on surfaces covered with this vinyl?

Yes, the vinyl is heat-resistant up to 70°C, which is sufficient for hot cups and plates. However, do not place hot pans directly on the surface.

Can I make the edges watertight for use near a sink?

Yes, you can add sealant along the edges of the vinyl to make it watertight for use in areas like kitchen counters near sinks or around bathtubs.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or imperfections under the vinyl.

Gently lift the vinyl back to the imperfection and reapply, smoothing carefully. For stubborn bubbles, prick with a fine needle and smooth down.

Vinyl is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. For difficult surfaces, a light spray of water on the surface can help initial placement, but ensure the water-based adhesive fully bonds as it dries. Reheat with a hairdryer to improve adhesion.

Difficulty wrapping around corners.

Use a hairdryer on a medium setting to gently warm the vinyl. This will make it more flexible and easier to stretch and mold around corners and edges.

Leftover residue after removal.

Warm the residue gently with a hairdryer and then clean with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh solvents.

Vinyl seems to shrink or bubble with heat.

Ensure the vinyl is not exposed to temperatures exceeding 70°C. Check that the initial application was smooth and adhered well, especially around edges. Allow the adhesive to fully cure.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Limited heat resistance (max 70°C), not suitable for direct contact with hot pans.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth.
  2. Peel back a small section of the backing paper.
  3. Align the vinyl with the edge of your surface and begin sticking.
  4. Slowly peel off the backing paper while smoothing the vinyl onto the surface with a soft cloth or squeegee, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
  5. For curved edges or corners, gently warm the vinyl with a hairdryer to make it more pliable, then press firmly into place.
  6. For a watertight seal on edges, apply sealant along the joins.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for smooth, non-porous surfaces such as furniture, countertops, glass, metal, and painted walls.
  • Not recommended for textured, dirty, or excessively porous surfaces.
  • Do not use as a splashback behind a hob or in areas exceeding 70°C.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Use mild, non-abrasive household cleaning products.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
  • Ensure edges are properly sealed if used in wet areas.
