FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
We recommend using a high-quality, ready-mixed or powder wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for non-woven wallpapers. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the width and height of your walls. Calculate the total square meterage and divide by the coverage area per roll. Always factor in an additional 10-15% for pattern matching and potential waste.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is durable, it is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens unless properly sealed with a suitable wallpaper varnish. It is best suited for standard living spaces.
How do I remove the wallpaper when I want to change it?
This is a strippable wallpaper. In most cases, it can be dry-stripped from the wall. If paste residue remains, dampen the wall with warm water and a little wallpaper remover, then scrape gently.
Is the teal colour accurate to the images online?
We strive for accurate colour representation, but screen settings can vary. Order a sample if you are concerned about the exact shade. Batch consistency is important, so order all rolls from the same batch.
What is the pattern repeat of this wallpaper?
The pattern repeat information is typically found on the wallpaper roll label or product specifications. Please refer to these for precise measurements to ensure accurate pattern matching.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking properly
Ensure the wall is properly primed and clean. Use the correct type and amount of wallpaper adhesive. Check for any drafts during application that might dry the paste too quickly.
Difficulty aligning pattern
Ensure you are hanging strips in the correct direction (usually top to bottom). Double-check that the pattern repeat is correctly accounted for. Use a spirit level for the first strip to ensure a vertical start.
Air bubbles or creases after application
Use a wallpaper smoothing brush or roller to gently push out air bubbles towards the edges. If the paste is still wet, you may be able to lift and re-smooth the section. Small bubbles may disappear as the paste dries.
Colour variation between rolls
Always check the batch number on each roll before starting. Order all required rolls from the same batch to ensure colour consistency. If a slight variation is unavoidable, try to use these rolls on less visible walls.
