Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on a textured surface?

This vinyl is best suited for smooth, flat surfaces. While it might adhere to lightly textured surfaces, a perfectly smooth finish may not be achieved, and adhesion could be compromised.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

The product information does not specify outdoor suitability. It is designed for interior surfaces like kitchen worktops and furniture.

How long does the adhesive last?

The adhesive has a 5-star rating for adhesion, indicating good long-term performance on suitable surfaces when cared for properly. It is designed to be removable when needed.

What is the best way to clean the vinyl film?

A soft, damp cloth with mild soap is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the surface.

Can I apply it over existing wallpaper or paint?

It is best applied to clean, non-porous surfaces. Applying over wallpaper or compromised paint may lead to peeling or damage when removed.

Does the vinyl chip or scratch easily?

The vinyl is described as durable and wipe-clean. However, like most surfaces, it can be scratched or damaged by sharp objects or excessive abrasion. Using cutting boards is recommended.

What are the dimensions of the roll?

The specific product is supplied as a custom cut length, with the example provided being 67.5cm wide. The original master roll is 15 metres long.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or creases during application.

Gently lift the affected area and reapply, smoothing with a felt edge smoother. For stubborn bubbles, a pinprick may release trapped air.

Film is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry. For very shiny surfaces, a light mist of water can help the film glide into position before it adheres.

Difficulty shaping around corners or edges.

Use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to gently warm the vinyl, making it more pliable to stretch and mould around contours.

Difficulty removing the film.

Apply heat with a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the adhesive before peeling slowly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth.
  2. Measure and cut the vinyl film to size, using the grid on the reverse for guidance.
  3. Slowly peel back the backing paper while applying the film, smoothing as you go with a felt edge smoother to push out air bubbles.
  4. Use a utility cutter for precise trimming around edges.
  5. For curved edges, use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently warm and mould the film.

Care:
