Design Match: Offset Pattern Repeat: 64 cm Washability: Extra-Washable Application: Paste the Wall Paste the Wall - Please note: When using Paste-the-Wall wallpaper, the paste is applied directly to the wall before hanging each strip. This wallpaper is made with a special backing that does not expand when wet; therefore, it does not need to soak as in other application methods. Using Paste-the-Wall wallpaper could cut your hanging time in half. Since the wallpaper does not need to soak prior to hanging, it can be hung more easily and quickly. Also, you won't need to set up a pasting table which can also save you some of the mess and clean up. It is also fully strippable when you fancy a change. Design Match: Offset - Please note: Offset match is also known as drop match or half drop. When hanging a second wallpaper length next to the first length already on the wall, the second length is dropped by the distance indicated so that the pattern joins up across both lengths. Please check that all batch numbers are matching before hanging the wallpaper.

FAQs
What is 'Paste the Wall' application?
With the 'Paste the Wall' method, you apply the wallpaper paste directly to the wall instead of the back of the wallpaper. This method can save time and reduce mess.
How do I calculate the amount of wallpaper needed?
Measure the height and width of the walls you plan to cover. Factor in the pattern repeat (64 cm offset) when calculating the number of rolls needed.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
Yes, it is extra-washable, making it suitable for bathrooms. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent excessive moisture buildup.
What kind of paste should I use?
Use a wallpaper paste specifically designed for non-woven wallpapers. Follow the paste manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
The wallpaper is fully strippable. Gently lift a corner of the wallpaper and pull it away from the wall. If needed, use a wallpaper stripper solution to assist in the removal.

Offset pattern match means that the pattern on each strip of wallpaper must be aligned a certain distance (64 cm in this case) from the previous strip to create a seamless design.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall.
Ensure you are using the correct type of paste and that the wall surface is properly prepared. Apply paste evenly to the wall and allow sufficient time for it to become tacky before hanging the wallpaper.

Use a smoothing brush to gently push the air bubbles towards the edges of the wallpaper. For larger bubbles, carefully lift the wallpaper and reapply, smoothing as you go.
