Product Information
Full details
This Rasch Hot Air Balloon wallpaper is designed for parents and decorators looking to create a charming and comforting atmosphere in a child’s bedroom or nursery. Its key benefit is the delightful woodland animal, cloud, and balloon pattern in soothing blue and beige tones. A potential caveat is the need to order enough rolls at once, as batch numbers cannot be guaranteed on subsequent purchases. The wallpaper features a washable surface, good lightfastness, and is wet removable, offering practicality alongside its aesthetic appeal. Its non-woven material makes application straightforward with a paste-the-wall method.

FAQs
What type of paste should I use for this wallpaper?
You should use a special paste specifically formulated for non-woven wallpapers. Follow the paste manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
How do I clean this wallpaper?
The wallpaper is washable. You can clean minor marks by gently wiping with a damp cloth and a little mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing.
Can I hang this wallpaper myself?
Yes, this wallpaper is designed for 'paste-the-wall' application, which is generally considered easier for DIYers. Ensure you follow the application instructions carefully.
What is the pattern repeat measurement?
The pattern repeat is 26.5cm with an offset match. This means you need to align the pattern every 26.5cm, with the pattern offset between strips.
How many square meters does one roll cover?
Each roll measures approximately 10 meters long by 53 cm wide, covering about 5.3 square meters (57.7 sq. ft).
Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is washable and water-resistant, it is best suited for low-moisture environments like bedrooms and nurseries. Excessive humidity in bathrooms could affect its longevity.
What does 'RAL and FSC certified' mean?
RAL certification indicates adherence to high quality and safety standards, while FSC certification means the wood used for the paper pulp comes from responsibly managed forests. Both ensure a high-quality and sustainable product.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appear after application.
Gently smooth out the bubbles or wrinkles with a wallpaper brush or seam roller while the paste is still wet. If the paste has dried, you may need to carefully lift the edge and reapply paste.
Pattern does not align correctly.
Ensure you are following the 26.5cm offset match guideline. Double-check that the first strip was hung perfectly vertical and that subsequent strips are placed with the correct pattern overlap.
Wallpaper is difficult to remove.
Ensure the wallpaper is sufficiently wet. If it is proving stubborn, a steamer may be used cautiously, or a wallpaper remover solution applied according to its instructions.
Color variation between rolls.
This can occur if rolls are from different batches. Always check batch numbers match before hanging and order sufficient rolls for the entire job in one purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Prime if necessary.
- Mix a special paste specifically designed for non-woven wallpapers according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Apply the paste directly to the wall.
- Hang the wallpaper strips, aligning the pattern with the previous strip using the 26.5cm offset match.
- Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board.
Compatibility:
This wallpaper is suitable for application on most standard interior walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is sound and non-flaking).
Care:
- Cleaning: The wallpaper is washable. Gently wipe minor marks with a clean, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soapy water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Light Exposure: The wallpaper has good lightfastness, but prolonged direct sunlight may eventually cause fading. Avoid placing directly opposite intense light sources if possible.
- Removal: The wallpaper is wet removable, meaning it can be peeled off the wall when dry and stripped in complete strips, usually starting from a seam.
