FAQs

Can I use this on my kitchen worktops?

Yes, it's ideal for updating kitchen worktops. However, always use worktop savers for hot pans and chopping boards to protect the surface.

Is the adhesive strong enough for long-term use?

The vinyl has a 5-star rating for adhesion and durability. The water-based adhesive allows for repositioning during application but creates a strong bond once applied.

How do I remove the vinyl when I want a change?

Gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting. This will soften the adhesive, allowing you to carefully peel the film away.

Can I apply this over existing wallpaper?

It's best applied to smooth, clean, and dry surfaces. Applying over textured wallpaper may result in an uneven finish and difficulty with removal.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

The product is designed for interior use. Prolonged exposure to UV light and weather conditions may affect its appearance and durability.

What tools do I need for application?

You will need a sharp utility cutter for trimming, a felt edge smoother for applying and removing air bubbles, and a hairdryer for curved edges and removal.

What is the warranty on this product?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or creases appear during application.

Gently lift the vinyl back to the point of the bubble/crease and reapply, smoothing firmly with a felt edge smoother. A hairdryer on a low setting can help soften the vinyl to smooth out stubborn bubbles.

Vinyl is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Reheat the vinyl slightly with a hairdryer to reactivate the adhesive, then press firmly into place.

Difficulty smoothing vinyl around corners.

Use a hairdryer on a low setting to warm and soften the vinyl, making it more pliable. Gently stretch and mold it around the corner, then hold in place until it cools.

Water damage around sink or hob edges.

Apply a clear silicone sealant around the edges that meet the sink or hob to create a waterproof barrier and prevent lifting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust or grease.
  2. Measure and cut the vinyl using the grid on the reverse for accuracy.
  3. Peel back a small section of the backing paper.
  4. Carefully align the vinyl to the edge of the surface and begin to apply, smoothing as you go with a felt edge smoother to push out air bubbles.
  5. For curved edges, gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting to make it more pliable.
  6. Trim any excess material with a sharp utility cutter.
  7. For areas around sinks and hobs, apply a silicone sealant to prevent water from seeping underneath and lifting the edges.

Compatibility:

This vinyl can be applied to any flat, smooth surface including wood, laminate, metal, and glass. It is not recommended for textured or uneven surfaces.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
