FAQs
What type of paste should I use?
You should use a 'paste the wall' type of wallpaper paste.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the height and width of your wall. Each roll is 10 meters long and 52cm wide. Take into account the pattern repeat (64cm) to minimize waste.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper can be wiped clean, it's not specifically designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms. Ensure proper ventilation if used in such areas.
What if I make a mistake during application?
If the paste is still wet, you may be able to carefully reposition the panel. Otherwise, you can carefully remove the panel and reapply it with fresh paste, ensuring alignment.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
The removal process will depend on the paste used, but in general, 'paste the wall' wallpapers are easier to remove. Start by scoring the wallpaper with a wallpaper scorer, then use a wallpaper stripper or warm water and a sponge to loosen the adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering to the wall.
Ensure you are using the correct type of wallpaper paste and that it has been applied evenly to the wall. Also, make sure the wall surface is properly prepared and free from dust or grease.
Visible seams between panels.
Carefully align the edges of the panels when applying, paying close attention to the straight design match. Use a seam roller to gently press the seams together.
Air bubbles trapped under the wallpaper.
Use a smoothing tool to gently push the air bubbles towards the edges of the paper. For stubborn bubbles, carefully prick them with a pin and smooth the area.
