FAQs
What is the 'Paste the Wall' method?
The 'Paste the Wall' method involves applying the wallpaper paste directly to the wall instead of the wallpaper. This makes the installation process cleaner and easier, and it eliminates the need for soaking the wallpaper.
How do I calculate how much wallpaper I need?
Measure the height and width of the walls you plan to cover. Calculate the total wall area and subtract the area of doors and windows. Then, determine the number of rolls needed, considering the roll dimensions (10m x 53cm) and the pattern repeat.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom or kitchen?
The vinyl coating makes it suitable for areas where moisture is present. However, ensure proper ventilation to prevent excessive humidity.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
The wallpaper is strippable. Start by scoring the wallpaper with a scoring tool. Then, apply wallpaper remover solution and let it soak. Finally, use a scraper to gently remove the wallpaper from the wall.
What kind of paste should I use?
Use a good quality, ready-mixed paste specifically designed for non-woven wallpaper. Ensure the paste is appropriate for 'Paste the Wall' application.
What tools do I need for installation?
You'll need a measuring tape, a level, a pencil, a smoothing brush or tool, a sharp utility knife or scissors, a seam roller, and a paste brush.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
Wipe the wallpaper gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles appear after installation.
Use a smoothing tool to gently push the air bubbles towards the edges of the wallpaper. For persistent bubbles, carefully lift the wallpaper and re-adhere it after applying more paste.
Seams are visible after hanging.
Ensure the edges are butted together tightly. Use a seam roller to flatten the seams and eliminate any gaps.
Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall.
Make sure you're using the correct wallpaper paste and applying it evenly to the wall. Check the wall surface for any issues with adhesion, such as a sealant that's repelling the paste.
Wallpaper tears during installation.
Handle the wallpaper with care. Use a sharp blade for trimming. For minor tears, carefully glue the torn edges back together.
