FAQs
Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms?
This product is primarily designed for dry living spaces. High-humidity environments like bathrooms may cause the paper to peel or the metallic finish to degrade.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the total width of your wall and divide by the width of the wallpaper roll, then account for the vertical repeat and add 10% for trimming wastage.
Can I wash this wallpaper?
The wallpaper is delicate. It should only be cleaned using a dry, soft cloth. Do not use water or wet cleaning agents.
Does the wallpaper come pre-pasted?
No, this is a 'paste-the-paper' product, meaning you must apply the adhesive to the back of the wallpaper during installation.
Are the metallic highlights durable?
The metallic elements are decorative. While durable for standard wall use, avoid scrubbing or using abrasive materials, as this will damage the sheen.
Troubleshooting
Visible seams between wallpaper strips
Ensure that the wall surface is perfectly smooth and that the adhesive was applied evenly. Use a seam roller gently to press edges together.
Air bubbles trapped under the paper
Use a wallpaper smoothing tool to gently push the bubble toward the nearest edge. If the bubble persists, carefully prick it with a pin and smooth out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure that all walls are clean, dry, and primed with a wallpaper-specific primer to allow for proper adhesion. Due to the intricate nature of the Extinct design, always consult the batch numbers on your rolls to ensure color consistency across the entire wall. During installation, use a soft felt smoother to prevent damaging the metallic highlights. To maintain the wallpaper over time, dust lightly with a dry, soft cloth; avoid using abrasive cleaners, moisture, or chemical solvents as these can strip the metallic finish and damage the fine paper fibers.
