FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use for this wallpaper?
You should use a good quality wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for 'paste the paper' type wallpapers.
How do I clean the Oakleigh Trail wallpaper?
The wallpaper is washable. Gently wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What does 'half drop match' mean and how does it affect installation?
A half drop match means that the pattern on the next strip needs to be aligned halfway down the pattern on the previous strip. This requires careful attention to ensure the design flows continuously and can sometimes result in more waste compared to a straight match.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is washable, it is not specifically rated for high-moisture environments like bathrooms. For such areas, it's recommended to use products designed for those conditions or to properly seal the wallpaper.
What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?
The pattern repeat for the Oakleigh Trail wallpaper is 26.5cm.
Can this wallpaper be easily removed?
Yes, the wallpaper is strippable, meaning it is designed for easy removal when you decide to redecorate.
What are the main design elements in the Oakleigh Trail pattern?
The design features a delicate scattering of acorns, oak leaves, and classic English garden birds.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Use the correct type and amount of wallpaper adhesive. Check that the booking time for the pasted paper is adequate.
Difficulty matching the half-drop repeat
Take your time to align the pattern carefully before smoothing the strip. Use a level to ensure the first drop is perfectly vertical. Cut pattern motifs precisely to maintain continuity.
Air bubbles or creases after application
Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to gently push air towards the edges of the strip. If bubbles persist, they may need to be carefully pricked with a pin and smoothed down.
Washable surface shows marks
Use a clean, damp cloth and gentle pressure. For tougher marks, a very mild soap solution can be used, but always follow with a clean damp cloth to remove residue. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
