FAQs
What are the dimensions of the vinyl wrap roll?
Each roll measures 2 meters in length and 67.5 cm in width.
Can this vinyl wrap be removed easily?
Yes, the self-adhesive vinyl can typically be removed, especially from smooth surfaces, though some residue may remain and require cleaning.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
This product is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure to UV rays and weather conditions can degrade the material and its adhesive.
Can I apply this over existing wallpaper?
It is recommended to apply only over smooth, firmly adhered wallpaper. If the wallpaper is peeling or textured, it should be removed first.
How heat resistant is the vinyl wrap?
The vinyl wrap is heat-resistant up to 70°C (158°F).
Do I need any special tools for application?
Basic tools like a measuring tape, scissors or a craft knife, and a squeegee (or a credit card) are recommended for a smooth application.
Is the Rusty Red color glossy or matte?
The finish is described as 'Uni Satin', which implies a smooth, semi-matte appearance rather than high gloss.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appearing during application.
Gently lift the edge of the film and reapply, using a squeegee to smooth out the air as you go. For small bubbles, a pinprick can release trapped air.
Film not sticking properly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Re-press the film firmly. If the surface is slightly textured, a light application of a primer or an adhesive spray might help, though this is not the standard application method.
Difficulty cutting the film cleanly.
Use a sharp, fresh craft knife or utility blade and a ruler for straight cuts. Cut on a protected surface to avoid damaging the underlying material.
The finish looks different from the online image.
Colors can vary slightly depending on screen calibration. It is recommended to order a sample if color accuracy is critical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dry, and smooth. Remove any grease, dirt, or old adhesive. For best results, surfaces should be non-porous.
- Measuring and Cutting: Measure the area to be covered and cut the vinyl wrap to size, adding a small overlap for trimming.
- Application: Peel back a small section of the backing paper. Carefully align the film with the edge of the surface and apply it, smoothing as you go. Use a squeegee or credit card to press out any air bubbles.
- Trimming: Once applied, use a sharp craft knife to trim any excess material from the edges.
Compatibility:
This vinyl wrap adheres best to smooth, non-porous surfaces such as:
- Laminate
- Finished wood
- Glass
- Metal
- Smooth painted walls
It may not adhere well to rough, textured, or porous surfaces like unpainted wood, concrete, or fabric.
Care:
Clean the surface gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, which can damage the finish. The film is heat-resistant up to 70°C, so avoid placing hot items directly on the surface.
