FAQs

Is this vinyl suitable for outdoor use?

This product is designed for interior use only and is not formulated for outdoor exposure to UV light and weather conditions.

How do I remove the vinyl when I want a change?

Gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting. This softens the adhesive, allowing you to peel it back slowly and carefully. A silicone sealant around edges may need to be cut away first.

Can I apply this over existing wallpaper?

It is not recommended to apply directly over wallpaper, as the adhesive may damage the wallpaper upon removal and the surface may not be smooth enough for optimal adhesion.

What kind of adhesive does it use?

It uses a water-based adhesive that allows the film to be repositioned during application.

Is the material safe for kitchens?

Yes, the material is phthalate-free and made in Germany. However, it is heat resistant only up to 70°C and requires protection from hot pans and proper sealing around sinks and hobs.

Can I cut this vinyl to specific sizes?

Yes, the vinyl is professionally cut from a master roll to provide custom lengths. The reverse side has a cutting grid to assist with precise measurements and cuts.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or creases after application.

Gently lift the affected area and re-apply, using a felt edge smoother to push out air. For stubborn bubbles, a pinprick can release trapped air.

Vinyl is not sticking well.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. For some surfaces, a light application of water mist can help the film glide into position before smoothing. Ensure adequate pressure is applied during smoothing.

Difficulty applying around corners or curves.

Use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently warm the vinyl. This makes it more pliable and easier to stretch and mold around contours. Do not overheat.

Vinyl lifting at the edges.

This often occurs around wet areas. Ensure edges are properly sealed with a silicone sealant to prevent water from getting underneath.

Damage from heat.

Avoid placing hot pans or items directly onto the vinyl. Always use worktop savers or trivets. The heat resistance is limited to 70°C.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth.
  2. Measure and cut the vinyl using the grid on the reverse, allowing for slight overlap.
  3. Peel back a small section of the backing paper.
  4. Carefully align the vinyl and apply it to the surface, smoothing out from the center to the edges using a felt edge smoother to remove air bubbles.
  5. Slowly peel off the backing paper as you continue to apply and smooth the vinyl.
  6. For curved edges, use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently warm and stretch the vinyl.
  7. Trim excess material with a utility cutter.
  8. Seal edges around sinks and hobs with a silicone sealant.

Compatibility:

This vinyl adheres best to flat, smooth, non-porous surfaces such as laminate, wood, metal, and glass. It is not recommended for textured, uneven, or freshly painted surfaces.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
  • Use worktop savers for hot pans and cutting boards for food preparation.
