FAQs

What type of adhesive should I use?

Typically, a high-quality, ready-mixed or powder adhesive specifically designed for vinyl or heavy wallpapers is recommended. Always check the wallpaper manufacturer's guidelines for the most suitable adhesive.

Is this wallpaper suitable for a kitchen?

While the vinyl surface offers some durability, it's best suited for moderate traffic areas. For kitchens with high humidity or potential for grease splatters, it's advisable to consult the manufacturer's recommendations or consider a more specialized kitchen wallpaper.

How much wallpaper do I need?

Measure the height and width of your walls. Calculate the square footage and add approximately 10-15% for pattern matching and potential errors. It's always better to have a little extra than to run short.

Can I paint over this wallpaper?

This wallpaper is designed as a decorative finish and is not intended to be painted over. Painting could obscure the pattern and texture details.

What does FSC-certified paper mean?

FSC-certified paper indicates that the wood pulp used to create the paper comes from responsibly managed forests that meet strict environmental, social, and economic standards.

How durable is the high gloss finish?

The high gloss accents are integrated into the vinyl material, offering good durability under normal conditions. However, they can be susceptible to scratching from sharp objects.

Troubleshooting

Pattern does not align correctly

Carefully peel back the strip and reposition. Ensure you are following the recommended overlap or butt-join guidelines. For significant misalignment, you may need to trim edges.

Bubbles or air pockets appear after hanging

Gently smooth out bubbles towards the nearest edge using a clean, soft cloth or a wallpaper smoother. If bubbles are persistent, you may need to carefully prick them with a fine needle and smooth down.

Adhesive seems weak or wallpaper is peeling at edges

Check the type and amount of adhesive used. Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared and not too porous. Apply additional adhesive to the edges if necessary, or consider a stronger adhesive suitable for vinyl wallpapers.

Scuff marks or dirt on the wallpaper

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth. Ensure the surface is dried afterward.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds significant visual impact and modern style.
  • Durable and easy to clean due to vinyl coating.
  • Eco-friendly material (FSC-certified paper).
  • Creates a sophisticated, high-contrast aesthetic.
  • Versatile for accent walls or full room applications.

Cons

  • The bold pattern may be overwhelming for small spaces or minimalist tastes.
  • Requires precise alignment during application, especially on large areas.
  • High gloss accents may show imperfections if the wall surface is not smooth.
  • Black color can make a room feel darker if not balanced with adequate lighting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth before application. This wallpaper is typically applied using a paste-the-wall method, meaning adhesive is applied directly to the wall. Always follow the manufacturer's specific instructions for best results, paying close attention to pattern matching at the seams.

Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls. It is recommended for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining areas. Avoid use in areas with excessive moisture, such as bathrooms, unless specified by the manufacturer.

Care: To clean, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the finish and material.
