FAQs
What type of paste should I use?
Use a standard wallpaper paste suitable for paper-based wallpapers. Follow the paste manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
How do I match the pattern?
This wallpaper has a straight pattern match. Align the edges of the wallpaper panels ensuring the patterns match horizontally across the wall. The pattern repeat is specified on the product details.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is durable, it is not specifically designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms. Ensure proper ventilation and consider sealing the wallpaper with a sealant if used in a bathroom.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
Depending on the wall and paste used, you might need a wallpaper stripper solution. Apply the solution, let it soak, and then gently peel off the wallpaper. Alternatively, scoring the paper with a tool before soaking can help facilitate removal.
What is the pattern repeat?
The pattern repeat is indicated in the product details to help with application planning. Make sure to account for this when measuring and cutting the wallpaper.
How many rolls do I need?
Calculate the wall area and consider the pattern repeat to determine the number of rolls needed. It's always a good idea to purchase an extra roll to account for waste and potential errors.
What tools do I need?
You will need a measuring tape, a level, a smoothing tool, a sharp blade or utility knife, a pasting brush, a seam roller, and a wallpaper table. Wall preparation tools like a scraper and sandpaper are also recommended.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall.
Ensure the wall is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Use an appropriate wallpaper paste and ensure it is applied evenly to the back of the wallpaper. Check that the paste is compatible with the wallpaper type. Apply more paste if needed.
Air bubbles are appearing under the wallpaper.
Use a smoothing tool to gently push the air bubbles out from the center towards the edges. If bubbles persist, carefully lift the wallpaper and re-apply, ensuring the surface is smooth before applying.
Seams are visible after application.
Ensure the edges of the wallpaper are aligned properly. Use a seam roller to gently press the seams together. Clean off any excess paste from the seams immediately.
