FAQs

Is this vinyl suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is designed for indoor use on flat surfaces and is not weatherproof.

How do I remove the vinyl when I want a change?

Gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting. This softens the adhesive, allowing you to peel it off slowly and carefully.

Can I put hot pans directly onto the vinyl?

No, the vinyl is heat resistant up to 70°C. Always use worktop savers or trivets for hot pans to prevent damage.

What is the guarantee period for this product?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Can I apply this over existing wallpaper?

It's best applied to smooth, hard surfaces. Applying over textured wallpaper may result in an uneven finish and difficulty with removal.

Does the 'Artisan Oak' color fade over time?

The product has a 5-star rating for lightfastness, indicating good resistance to fading from light exposure.

Is this product safe for use in kitchens where food is prepared?

Yes, it is made from phthalate-free PVC and is wipe-clean, making it suitable for food preparation areas when used with chopping boards.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or creases during application

Gently lift the vinyl film back to the point of the bubble/crease and reapply, smoothing from the center outwards with a felt edge smoother. A hairdryer on a low setting can sometimes help release trapped air.

Vinyl won't stick properly or lifts at edges

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. For areas around sinks or hobs, ensure a good seal with silicone sealant. Reapply heat with a hairdryer to help the adhesive bond.

Difficulty applying around corners or curves

Use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently warm the vinyl. This makes it more pliable and easier to stretch and mould around curved edges without tearing or creasing.

Stains that won't wipe away

Wipe up spills immediately. For stubborn marks, try a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  3. Peel back a small section of the backing paper.
  4. Carefully align the vinyl and begin to apply, smoothing from the center outwards with a felt edge smoother to push out air bubbles.
  5. Use a utility cutter for precise trimming of excess material.
  6. For curved edges, use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently warm and stretch the vinyl into place.
  7. Seal all edges, especially around sinks and hobs, with a silicone sealant.

The vinyl can be applied to any clean, flat, and smooth surface, including countertops, tabletops, cabinet doors, shelves, and furniture.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
