Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I apply this to a textured surface?

The vinyl adheres best to smooth, flat surfaces. Heavily textured or uneven surfaces may result in a less durable finish and potential lifting.

Is this product suitable for use directly on a hob or around a sink?

The vinyl is heat resistant to 70°C, so it's not suitable for direct contact with hot pans. It is essential to seal around sinks and hobs with a silicone sealant to prevent water from getting underneath and lifting the vinyl.

How do I clean the vinyl wrap?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild detergent can be used. Always wipe up spills promptly.

Can I reposition the vinyl if I make a mistake?

Yes, the water-based adhesive allows the film to be lifted and re-applied during the application process if you make a mistake.

How long will the vinyl last?

When applied and cared for correctly, the vinyl has a 5-star rating for durability and lightfastness, offering a long-lasting aesthetic update.

Can I use this on furniture other than kitchen worktops?

Absolutely. The vinyl can be applied to any flat surface, making it suitable for tabletops, cabinet doors, and other furniture items.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or creases during application

Gently lift the film and reapply, using a felt edge smoother to push out air. A hairdryer on a low setting can help release trapped air. For stubborn bubbles, a small pin prick may release the air.

Vinyl not sticking or lifting at edges

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. For edges near water sources, apply a silicone sealant to create a watertight barrier.

Difficulty conforming around curves

Use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to gently warm and stretch the vinyl, making it more pliable. Work slowly and use the heat to help it adhere smoothly.

Surface appears damaged after removal

Gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the adhesive. Peel slowly and carefully. If residue remains, use a mild adhesive remover suitable for the underlying surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. Measure and cut the vinyl using the grid on the reverse. Peel back a small section of the backing paper and align the film. Use a felt edge smoother to gradually apply the film, pushing out air bubbles as you go. For curved edges, a hairdryer on a low setting can help make the vinyl more pliable. For best results in wet areas, apply a silicone sealant around sinks and hobs once the vinyl is in place.

Compatibility: The vinyl can be applied to any flat, smooth surface including countertops, tabletops, furniture, and cabinet doors.

Care: Wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools. Always use worktop savers for hot pans and cutting boards for food preparation.
