Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I apply this to a textured surface?

The vinyl adheres best to flat, smooth surfaces. Textured surfaces may result in poor adhesion and an uneven finish.

How do I clean the vinyl film?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Wipe up spills promptly to prevent staining.

What is the maximum temperature the vinyl can withstand?

The vinyl is heat resistant up to 70°C. It is not suitable for direct contact with hot pans; always use a worktop saver.

Is this product suitable for use in a bathroom?

Yes, but ensure excellent ventilation and proper sealing around wet areas to prevent moisture from getting underneath the film.

Can I apply this over existing wallpaper?

It is not recommended to apply directly over wallpaper, as it may not adhere well and could damage the wallpaper upon removal.

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

Gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting. This softens the adhesive and allows for easier removal. Peel slowly and carefully.

What are the dimensions of this specific product?

This product is 67.5cm wide and is supplied in a continuous length, with this specific offering being 3 meters long.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or creases during application

Gently lift the affected section and reapply, using a felt edge smoother to push out air. A hairdryer on a low setting can help make the vinyl more pliable for smoothing.

Vinyl won't stick properly

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. If the surface is too glossy, a very light sanding (followed by thorough cleaning) might help adhesion, or ensure the surface is not porous.

Vinyl lifting at edges

Ensure the surface is perfectly flat and clean. For areas around sinks or hobs, apply a silicone sealant to create a waterproof barrier and prevent lifting.

Difficulty applying around curves

Use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to gently warm the vinyl. This makes it more flexible and easier to stretch and mould around curved surfaces. Work slowly and use a smoothing tool.

Difficulty removing vinyl

Gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting. This softens the adhesive, making it easier to peel away. Work slowly to avoid damaging the underlying surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. Use the cutting grid on the reverse of the film for precise measurements. Peel back a small portion of the backing paper and align the film. Slowly peel off the backing while smoothing the film onto the surface using a felt edge smoother to eliminate air bubbles. Trim excess with a utility cutter. For curved edges, use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently warm and shape the vinyl.

Compatibility: This vinyl film adheres best to flat, smooth, non-porous surfaces such as laminate countertops, painted wood, glass, and metal. It is not recommended for heavily textured, dusty, or damp surfaces.

Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining. Use worktop savers for hot pans and cutting boards for food preparation. Always seal around the edges of sinks and hobs with a silicone sealant to prevent water ingress, which could lift the vinyl.
