FAQs

What are the dimensions of each roll?

Each roll measures 2 meters in length and 45 centimeters in width.

Do I need special glue to apply this film?

No, this is a self-adhesive film with a "peel and stick" application. No additional glue is required.

Can this film be used on a kitchen countertop?

Yes, it is suitable for kitchen countertops, provided the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Its water-repellent nature makes it practical for this use.

How do I clean the film once applied?

You can clean the film with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive materials.

Will it leave sticky residue when removed?

It is designed to leave minimal residue. If any remains, it can usually be removed with warm water or a mild cleaner.

What kind of surfaces should I avoid applying this to?

Avoid applying to textured, uneven, rough, or porous surfaces. It adheres best to smooth, non-porous materials.

Is it heat resistant?

While durable, it is not designed for direct contact with high heat sources like a stovetop. A hairdryer can be used on a low setting for application and removal.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles under the film

If small bubbles appear during application, try to lift the film slightly and reapply, smoothing it out. For existing bubbles, carefully prick them with a fine needle and press the air out.

Film not sticking well

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and completely smooth. Reheat the film slightly with a hairdryer to reactivate the adhesive if necessary.

Difficulty removing the film

Gently heat the film with a hairdryer on a low setting or apply warm water to soften the adhesive. Peel slowly and carefully.

Adhesive residue left behind

Soften the residue with warm water and a cloth, or use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For stubborn residue, a small amount of Goo Gone or similar product can be used cautiously, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Film tears during application or removal

Be gentle during application and removal. If tearing occurs, try to smooth it out or reapply if possible. For removal, ensure the film is sufficiently softened with heat or water.

Pros and Cons

  • Provides a durable and water-repellent surface.
  • Cost-effective alternative to new furniture or renovations.
  • Allows for easy removal without significant residue.
  • Grid lines on the backing aid precise cutting.
  • Made in Germany, suggesting quality manufacturing.

Cons

  • Requires a perfectly smooth surface for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and completely smooth. Remove any dust, grease, or old adhesive.
  2. Measure and cut the film to the desired size using the grid lines on the back. Allow a slight overlap for edges.
  3. Peel back a small section of the backing paper from one edge.
  4. Carefully align the film with the edge of the surface and press down.
  5. Slowly peel off the remaining backing paper while smoothing the film onto the surface with a squeegee or cloth, working from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles.
  6. Trim any excess film with a sharp craft knife.

Compatibility:

This film is designed for application on any smooth, clean, flat surface. It is compatible with furniture, kitchen cabinets, shelves, tabletops, doors, and walls. Avoid applying to textured, uneven, or porous surfaces, as adhesion will be poor and removal may cause damage.

Care:

The film is water-repellent and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the surface. For removal, use a hairdryer on a low to medium heat setting or warm water to soften the adhesive before gently peeling the film away.
