FAQs

What surfaces can I apply this vinyl wrap to?

This vinyl wrap is suitable for any clean, dry, and smooth flat surface, including kitchen doors, countertops, furniture, drawer fronts, and wardrobe doors.

Is this vinyl wrap permanent?

No, it is designed as a non-permanent solution. It can be removed, especially when warmed with a hairdryer, although some minor residue may require cleaning with soapy water.

How do I clean the vinyl wrap?

You can wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soapy water can be used for tougher marks, but it's best to wipe spills immediately to avoid staining.

What is the heat resistance of this vinyl wrap?

The vinyl wrap is heat resistant up to 70ºC. It is not suitable for direct contact with very hot items like pans from the stove.

Does the vinyl come with an adhesive?

Yes, it features a water-based, low-tack adhesive that allows for repositioning during application.

Can I reposition the vinyl if I make a mistake?

Yes, the low-tack adhesive allows you to carefully peel back and reposition the vinyl during application if needed.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

This product is intended for indoor use and its durability may be affected by prolonged exposure to UV rays and weather conditions.

What are the dimensions of the roll?

The vinyl is supplied as a custom cut length. The master roll width is 45cm, and it can be purchased in custom lengths (e.g., 10m is a common length).

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles appearing during application.

Gently lift the vinyl back to the point of the bubble and reapply, smoothing with a felt edge smoother. For stubborn bubbles, a tiny pinprick can release trapped air.

Vinyl not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For difficult surfaces, a light primer might be considered, but test first.

Difficulty getting vinyl to stick to corners or edges.

Use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to warm the vinyl slightly, making it more flexible. Stretch and press gently around the corner, then trim excess with a sharp utility knife.

Leftover residue after removal.

Warm the residue gently with a hairdryer, then carefully peel. Any remaining stickiness can typically be removed with a cloth dampened with warm, soapy water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust, grease, or old adhesive.
  2. Measure and cut the vinyl to the required size, using the grid on the reverse for guidance. Allow a slight overlap for trimming.
  3. Peel back a small portion of the backing paper.
  4. Carefully align the vinyl with the edge of the surface and begin applying, smoothing out air bubbles as you go with a felt edge smoother.
  5. Gradually peel away the backing paper while continuing to smooth the vinyl onto the surface.
  6. For edges or corners, a hairdryer can be used to gently warm the vinyl, making it more pliable to conform to the shape. Trim any excess with a utility cutter.

Compatibility:

This vinyl can be applied to any flat, smooth surface. It is ideal for kitchen doors, worktops, furniture, drawer fronts, wardrobe doors, and other decorative applications.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soapy water if necessary.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
  • The material is heat resistant up to 70ºC. Do not place hot items directly onto the surface.
