FAQs

How do I order the correct length?

Enter the desired total length in meters in the quantity box. For example, entering '3' will provide a single 3-meter long piece (67.5cm wide).

Can I use this on a textured surface?

The film is designed for *smooth* surfaces. Application on textured surfaces may result in poor adhesion and visible texture through the film.

How do I remove the film?

Gently heat the film with a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the adhesive, then carefully peel it away from the surface.

Is this film suitable for areas that get hot?

The film is heat resistant up to 70ºC, making it suitable for general use. However, it is not suitable for direct contact with hot pans or very hot items.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Can I apply this over existing wallpaper?

It is best applied to clean, smooth, and stable surfaces. Applying over wallpaper may lead to adhesion issues if the wallpaper is not perfectly smooth or is peeling.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles trapped under the film.

Gently lift the edge of the film and reapply, using a felt edge smoother to push out air. For small bubbles, a pin prick can release trapped air.

Film is not sticking well.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Reapply pressure with a smoother. For older applications, the adhesive may have degraded.

Difficulty cutting or trimming the film.

Use a sharp utility cutter or craft knife and a ruler for straight edges. Ensure the film is taut during cutting.

Edges are lifting, especially near water.

Apply a suitable sealant along the exposed edges, particularly around sinks and hobs, to create a barrier against moisture.
