This guide is for homeowners and interior designers seeking a modern, textured wallpaper with an industrial aesthetic. The Grandeco On The Rocks Wallpaper in White offers a striking concrete effect with metallic accents for a sophisticated, abstract look, but its raised texture may not suit minimalist preferences. Key features include its paste-the-wall application for ease of use and a durable blown vinyl finish that can help conceal minor wall imperfections.

Paste-the-wall wallpaper means you apply the adhesive directly onto the wall surface before hanging the paper strip. This method is generally quicker and less messy than traditional paste-the-paper methods, as it avoids the need for a pasting table and soaking the paper.
While the blown vinyl is durable, it's generally best suited for living areas and bedrooms. For kitchens and bathrooms, ensure excellent ventilation and consider using a specialized sealant if moisture levels are consistently high, as excessive moisture can affect the adhesive and paper.
Measure the height of your wall from ceiling to skirting board. Add an extra 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) to this measurement to allow for trimming at the ceiling and base. Cut your first strip to this length. Subsequent strips should be cut to match the pattern repeat of the first strip.
Use a high-quality, heavy-duty wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for textured or blown vinyl wallpapers and suitable for the paste-the-wall application method. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
Blown vinyl wallpapers can sometimes be more challenging to remove. Start by peeling off the top layer of the vinyl. The remaining paper backing can often be removed by steaming or by applying a wallpaper stripper solution, then scraping gently.
Each roll has dimensions of Height: 1005.0 cm x Width: 53.0 cm x Depth: 0.1 cm.
Yes, the 'On The Rocks' design is part of a collection that includes other color options, such as Charcoal Grey and Cream/Gold.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Verify that the correct type of wallpaper adhesive for heavy vinyl and paste-the-wall application has been used and applied generously to the wall. Check that the wallpaper is pressed firmly into the paste.
Smooth each strip firmly from the center outwards using a wallpaper brush or roller immediately after applying it to the wall. If bubbles persist after drying, a small pinprick may release trapped air, but this should be done with caution.
Ensure pattern repeats are matched precisely between strips. Use a sharp blade and a straight edge for trimming at the ceiling and skirting. A seam roller can be used very gently on the seams after application to ensure a tight fit, but be careful not to flatten the texture.
The appearance of metallic accents can vary with lighting. Ensure the room has adequate lighting to highlight the metallic elements. Avoid applying heavy moisture or cleaning agents that could tarnish the metallic finish.
Setup: This wallpaper utilizes a "paste-the-wall" system. Apply wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall surface where the first strip will be hung. Measure and cut your wallpaper strips according to the wall height, allowing for a small overlap at the ceiling and skirting board. Press the dry strip firmly into the pasted wall, smoothing it with a wallpaper brush or roller to remove air bubbles. Continue with subsequent strips, ensuring a close match at the seams.
Compatibility: Suitable for application on most prepared interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces that are sound and properly prepared. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint before application. For best results, use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive suitable for heavy or textured papers.
Care: To clean the wallpaper, use a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid excessive moisture or abrasive cleaning agents, as these can damage the textured finish and metallic accents. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the area dries completely afterwards. Due to its textured nature, it is not recommended for areas with high moisture exposure like bathrooms without proper ventilation and sealing.
