FAQs

What is the 'paste-the-wall' method?

Paste-the-wall is a wallpaper application technique where the adhesive is applied directly to the wall surface, rather than to the back of the wallpaper. This often makes the hanging process faster and cleaner.

Can this wallpaper be used in a kitchen?

While it is scrubbable, it's best suited for areas with moderate humidity like bathrooms. For kitchens, especially near cooking areas, ensure good ventilation and avoid direct contact with grease or steam.

How do I clean the wallpaper if it gets dirty?

You can gently wipe the surface with a damp sponge or cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to protect the metallic finish.

What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's specifications for the exact pattern repeat. Proper pattern matching is crucial for a seamless installation.

Is this wallpaper suitable for a beginner DIYer?

Yes, the paste-the-wall method is generally considered user-friendly, making it a good choice for those new to wallpapering. Ensure you follow the instructions carefully.

How durable is the metallic finish?

The metallic finish is designed to be durable for typical interior use and is enhanced by the scrubbable quality of the wallpaper. However, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods.

Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

It is generally recommended to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper. Ensure the existing surface is smooth, stable, and properly prepared if you choose to wallpaper over it.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or air pockets after hanging

Gently lift the affected section of wallpaper and re-smooth it onto the wall, ensuring all air is pushed towards the edges. Use a pin to prick stubborn bubbles and smooth them down.

Pattern doesn't align correctly

Carefully peel back the misaligned strip and reposition it. Ensure you are working with a plumb line for accurate vertical alignment and check the pattern repeat guidance.

Wallpaper is difficult to remove

Ensure you have used the correct removal method (usually involves steaming or a strong stripping solution). If a primer was not used during application, removal may require more effort. Re-wetting stubborn areas can help.

Metallic finish appears patchy or uneven

This can sometimes occur due to the nature of metallic inks. Ensure even lighting when viewing the wall. Avoid harsh cleaning products that might abrade the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wallpaper utilizes a paste-the-wall method. This means adhesive is applied directly to the wall, not the paper itself, which can streamline the hanging process. Ensure your walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from old wallpaper or loose paint. A wallpaper primer is recommended for best results and easier removal later.

  1. Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the wall in manageable sections, following the manufacturer's adhesive instructions.
  2. Unroll the wallpaper and cut strips to the required length, allowing for a slight overlap at the top and bottom.
  3. Hang the first strip vertically, aligning it with a plumb line or corner.
  4. Butt-join subsequent strips, ensuring the pattern aligns precisely.
  5. Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall using a wallpaper brush or roller, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
  6. Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp knife.

Compatibility:

Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is stable and non-flaking).

  • Not recommended for use in areas with excessive moisture or direct water exposure beyond normal bathroom humidity.
  • Test adhesion on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about wall surface suitability.

Care:

The scrubbable nature of this wallpaper means it can be cleaned gently.

  • For light marks, use a damp sponge or cloth with mild soap and water.
  • Wipe gently; avoid excessive rubbing or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the metallic finish.
  • Rinse the area with clean water and blot dry with a soft cloth.
