FAQs

What is the maximum continuous length I can order?

You can order up to 15 meters in a single continuous piece without any joints.

Can this vinyl be used on a textured surface?

No, this vinyl is designed for smooth surfaces. It may not adhere well or may look uneven on textured or uneven areas.

How do I order a specific length?

Enter the desired total length in meters in the quantity box at the top of the page. For example, entering '5' will provide a 5-meter long piece (45cm wide).

Is this product waterproof?

The vinyl itself is water-resistant and suitable for surfaces like kitchen counters. However, ensure edges are sealed to prevent moisture from getting underneath.

Can I reposition the vinyl once applied?

Minor repositioning is possible shortly after application if done carefully. However, once firmly pressed down, it is best to avoid frequent repositioning to maintain adhesion.

How do I clean the applied vinyl?

Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Will this film damage my windows or furniture when removed?

The film is designed for easy removal. However, on delicate or old surfaces, it's always advisable to test in an inconspicuous area first. Gentle heat from a hairdryer can aid removal.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or creases appear during application

Gently lift the vinyl back to the point of the bubble/crease and reapply, smoothing with a squeegee. For small bubbles, pricking with a fine needle and smoothing down may work.

Vinyl is not sticking properly

Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. Reheat the vinyl slightly with a hairdryer on a low setting to reactivate the adhesive, then press firmly.

Difficulty cutting the vinyl precisely

Use a sharp craft knife or a rotary cutter and a metal ruler for clean, straight cuts. Score the vinyl lightly before cutting through.

Residue left after removal

Gently rub the residue with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, a small amount of adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol can be carefully applied with a soft cloth.

  3. Carefully peel back a small section of the backing paper.
  4. Align the vinyl with the edge of the surface and begin to stick, smoothing out any air bubbles as you go.
