FAQs

What is the pattern repeat and match for this wallpaper?

This wallpaper has a pattern repeat of 53cm and an offset match.

How do I clean this wallpaper?

The wallpaper is scrubbable, meaning you can gently clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

What are the dimensions of the wallpaper roll?

Each roll measures 10 meters in length and 0.53 meters in width (10 x 0.53m).

Can I apply this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

It is generally recommended to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish. Ensure the wall beneath is clean and dry.

Is this wallpaper suitable for a high-moisture area like a bathroom?

While scrubbable, it is not specifically designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens. For such areas, consider wallpapers specifically rated for moisture resistance.

What is the 'paste the paper' application method?

This is a traditional method where you apply the wallpaper adhesive directly to the back of the wallpaper itself, rather than to the wall.

What makes the '3D effect' realistic?

The design is printed to create the visual illusion of depth and texture, mimicking the look of real brick or stone without actual raised surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper not sticking properly

Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Check that the correct type and amount of wallpaper paste has been used and allowed to soak correctly.

Pattern does not align

Carefully re-measure and re-cut the wallpaper length. Ensure you are aligning the 53cm offset pattern repeat accurately. Working with good lighting can help.

Air bubbles or creases appear

Use a wallpaper brush or seam roller to gently smooth out air bubbles from the center towards the edges immediately after hanging. If an air bubble is persistent, you may need to gently lift the paper and re-apply.

Wallpaper tears during application

Handle the pasted paper gently. If a tear occurs, you may be able to repair it with a small amount of paste if it's minor and caught immediately, or you may need to use a new length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare your walls by ensuring they are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper or loose paint.
  2. Cut your wallpaper lengths, allowing for the 53cm offset pattern repeat. Plan your cuts carefully to ensure the pattern aligns across seams.
  3. Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the paper (paste the paper).
  4. Allow the paste to soak for the recommended time as per the manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Hang the first length, ensuring it is perfectly vertical using a spirit level.
  6. Match the pattern on subsequent lengths, aligning the repeat carefully.
  7. Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall using a wallpaper brush or roller, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.

Compatibility:

This wallpaper is suitable for most interior walls. Ensure walls are properly prepared and primed if necessary. Not recommended for bathrooms or kitchens due to potential high moisture levels unless specifically sealed for such environments.

Care:

The wallpaper is scrubbable. Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean any marks or dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
