FAQs

What is the roll size of this wallpaper?

The roll size is 10.05 meters in length and 53 centimeters in width, covering an area of 5.33 square meters.

How do I prepare the wall for this wallpaper?

The wall must be clean, dry, smooth, firm, and absorbent. Fill any imperfections and sand smooth before applying the adhesive.

What does 'paste-the-wall' mean?

Paste-the-wall means you apply the adhesive directly to the wall surface, not to the wallpaper itself. This method is generally quicker and less messy.

What is the pattern match for this wallpaper?

This wallpaper has a straight match with a pattern repeat of 64 cm. This means the same part of the pattern on adjacent strips should be hung at the same height.

Is this wallpaper washable?

The wallpaper is scrubbable, meaning you can gently clean minor marks with a damp cloth. It is not fully washable with soap or detergent.

What does the RAL-GZ 479 quality mark signify?

This mark indicates that the wallpaper meets stringent technical quality requirements and has been tested for health and environmental safety.

Can I remove this wallpaper myself when redecorating?

Yes, this wallpaper is designed to be dry removable, making it easier to strip from the wall when you wish to redecorate.

What does FSC Mix certified mean for this wallpaper?

FSC Mix certified means the non-woven backing material is made from wood sourced from FSC-certified forests and/or recycled materials, promoting responsible forestry.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper bubbles or wrinkles during application.

Ensure the paste is applied evenly to the wall and that the wall surface is smooth. Gently smooth out bubbles towards the edges with a wallpaper brush or smoother before the paste sets. If bubbles persist after drying, you may need to carefully prick them with a fine needle and press them down.

Difficulty aligning the pattern repeat.

Take extra care when hanging each strip, ensuring the 64 cm pattern flows from the previous strip. It might be helpful to lightly mark a vertical guideline on the wall for the first strip, and then use the pattern itself as a guide for subsequent strips. Ensure both strips are at the same height.

Wallpaper does not adhere well to the wall.

Check if the wall surface is clean, dry, smooth, firm, and absorbent. Reapply adhesive to the wall if it has dried out or if the surface is not porous enough. Ensure you are using the correct type of adhesive for non-woven wallpapers.

Removal leaves residue on the wall.

While designed for dry removal, some paste residue might remain. Use a damp cloth or a wallpaper scorer and a steamer to gently loosen and remove any remaining adhesive. Clean the wall thoroughly afterward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure your walls are clean, dry, smooth, firm, and absorbent. Prepare surfaces by filling any holes or cracks and sanding them smooth.
  2. Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the wall using a roller or brush. Do not soak the wallpaper.
  3. Hang the wallpaper strip directly onto the pasted wall, aligning it carefully.
  4. Smooth out any air bubbles using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards.
  5. Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp knife.
  6. For the pattern match, align the pattern repeat of 64 cm on the next strip at the same height as the previous one.

Compatibility:

This wallpaper is suitable for application on prepared plaster, plasterboard, old painted surfaces (if firmly adhering), and other smooth, stable wall surfaces. Avoid applying to freshly painted walls (allow paint to cure fully) or uneven surfaces.

Care:

This wallpaper is scrubbable. Minor dirt and scuff marks can be gently wiped away with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the finish.
