FAQs

What type of adhesive should I use for this wallpaper?

The manufacturer recommends Erfurt Ready Mix Adhesive. Ensure you use a paste suitable for 'paste-the-paper' applications.

How do I clean the wallpaper?

This wallpaper is washable. Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent for light cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive water.

Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

It is generally recommended to remove all old wallpaper and ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and sound before applying new wallpaper for the best results and adhesion.

What is the pattern repeat, and how does it affect application?

The pattern repeat is 26.5cm. This means that every 26.5cm vertically, the pattern will align. You'll need to match the pattern between strips, which may result in slightly more waste compared to a non-repeating wallpaper.

Are the metallic highlights durable?

Yes, the metallic highlights are integrated into the design and are durable under normal conditions. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners which could damage them.

What does 'strippable' mean?

Strippable wallpaper can be removed in large pieces (usually in full sheets) when it's time to redecorate, without requiring excessive soaking or scraping, making removal much easier.

How do I handle the metallic highlights during application?

Handle the wallpaper carefully to avoid creasing or scuffing the metallic elements. Ensure smooth, even application and avoid excessive pressure when smoothing.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or creases appearing after application

Ensure the wallpaper was smoothed out thoroughly from the center outwards during application. If minor, they may disappear as the paste dries. For larger bubbles, carefully prick with a pin and smooth down.

Wallpaper not sticking well

Check that the correct type of adhesive (Erfurt Ready Mix or equivalent for paste-the-paper) was used and applied generously to the back of the paper. Ensure the paper was allowed to book correctly. Verify the wall surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and sound).

Pattern not aligning correctly

Double-check that the first strip was hung perfectly vertical. Ensure subsequent strips are butted up precisely against the previous one. Minor adjustments may be possible while the paste is still wet.

Damage during trimming

Use a very sharp, clean utility knife or wallpaper trimming knife. Score the paper firmly against a straight edge (like a ruler or trowel) and cut in one smooth motion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a unique and fashionable design aesthetic.
  • Durable and easy to maintain with its washable surface.
  • Good lightfastness ensures long-lasting color vibrancy.
  • Strippable nature simplifies future redecoration efforts.
  • The metallic highlights add a premium finish.

Cons

  • Requires the specific 'paste-the-paper' application method, which may be unfamiliar to some users.
  • The pattern repeat of 26.5cm may require careful alignment and potentially more waste for complex walls.
  • The cream color may show dirt more readily than darker options in high-traffic areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wallpaper uses the 'Paste-the-Paper' method. This means the adhesive is applied directly to the back of the wallpaper itself, not the wall.

  1. Measure and cut your wallpaper strips to the required length, allowing for a little extra at the top and bottom.
  2. Apply a suitable wallpaper adhesive evenly to the back of each strip. Ensure the entire surface is covered.
  3. Allow the pasted paper to 'relax' or 'ப்பில்' (book) for the recommended time stated on the adhesive packaging, usually 5-10 minutes. This allows the paper to expand and makes it more stable.
  4. Hang the first strip, ensuring it is perfectly vertical using a spirit level. Butt the edges of the strips together, do not overlap.
  5. Smooth down the wallpaper using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
  6. Trim any excess paper at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp knife.

Compatibility:

  • Recommended Paste: Erfurt Ready Mix Adhesive.
  • Surface Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from old wallpaper or loose paint. Any imperfections should be filled and sanded.

Care:

  • This wallpaper is washable. For cleaning, use a damp (not wet) cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe gently and avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the wallpaper surface and metallic highlights.
