FAQs

Can I use this vinyl on a textured surface?

While it's best suited for smooth, flat surfaces for optimal adhesion, it may adhere to lightly textured surfaces. Heavily textured or uneven surfaces are not recommended.

How do I clean the vinyl wrap?

You can clean the vinyl wrap with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes, as these can damage the surface.

Is the vinyl wrap safe for food preparation surfaces?

The material is phthalate-free and made in Germany. However, it is recommended to use worktop savers for hot pans and cutting boards for food preparation to protect the vinyl.

What happens if I make a mistake during application?

The water-based adhesive allows the film to be lifted and re-applied. If you make a mistake, simply peel back the vinyl carefully and reposition it. Smoothing tools help minimize air bubbles and creases.

How do I remove the vinyl when I no longer need it?

To remove the vinyl, use a hairdryer on a low setting to warm the adhesive, which will soften it and make removal easier. Peel the vinyl back slowly and gently.

What is the heat resistance of this vinyl wrap?

The vinyl wrap is heat resistant up to 70°C. It is not suitable for direct contact with hot pans or surfaces that exceed this temperature.

Do I need to seal around sinks and hobs?

Yes, it is essential to seal around sinks and hobs with a silicone sealant to prevent water or dirt from getting underneath the vinyl, which could cause it to lift or damage the adhesive.

What are the dimensions of this specific product?

The dimensions of this specific item are H:300 x W:90 x D:0 cm. It is professionally cut from a master roll, providing custom lengths.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles or creases after application

Gently lift the vinyl from the affected area and re-apply, smoothing with a felt edge smoother. For persistent bubbles, you can prick a tiny hole with a fine needle and smooth it out. A hairdryer on a low setting can also help re-adhere the vinyl smoothly.

Vinyl is not sticking properly at the edges

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Re-apply gentle heat with a hairdryer to the edge and press firmly. For areas near water or heat, apply a suitable silicone sealant along the edge after the vinyl has adhered.

Difficulty moulding around curved edges

Use a hairdryer on a low setting, holding it a few inches away from the vinyl. Gently stretch and mould the vinyl around the curve as it warms and becomes pliable. Work in small sections.

Vinyl tears during application

If the vinyl tears, try to lift the torn section carefully. If the tear is significant, you may need to cut away the damaged part and re-apply a new piece, or start again with a fresh section if possible.

Surface appears dull or has light scratches

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, re-application of a new piece of vinyl might be necessary.

  • Removable for renters or temporary changes.
  • Wipe-clean and durable surface.
  • Realistic aesthetic options.
  • High adhesion, lightfastness, shrinkage, and durability ratings.

  • May require a utility knife for precise trimming.
  • Not a factory-sealed retail roll, but professionally cut to custom lengths.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust, grease, or old adhesive.
  2. Measure and cut the vinyl wrap to the desired size, using the grid on the reverse for guidance. Allow for a small overlap if necessary.
  3. Peel back a small section of the backing paper from one edge.
  4. Carefully align the vinyl and begin to press it down, gradually peeling away the backing paper.
  5. Use a felt edge smoother or a squeegee to press the film firmly onto the surface, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles and creases.
  6. For curved edges, use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently warm the vinyl, making it more pliable. Mould it into place while warm.
  7. Trim any excess material with a sharp utility cutter.
  8. For areas exposed to water (sinks, hobs), apply a silicone sealant around the edges to prevent water from getting underneath.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for flat, smooth surfaces like countertops, tabletops, furniture, doors, and cabinets.
  • Not recommended for highly textured, uneven, or porous surfaces where adhesion may be compromised.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
  • Do not place hot pans directly on the surface; use worktop savers or trivets.
  • Heat resistant up to 70°C.
