Frequently Asked Questions

Test 1

We offer a wide range of wallpaper styles, but all require pasting on the wall with wallpaper adhesive, preferably by a professional. 

We have four main types of wallpaper:

  • Vinyl-coated wallpaper with paper backing
  • Vinyl-coated wallpaper with non-woven backing
  • Non-woven wallpaper
  • Bio-degradeable Vinyl-coated wallpaper with paper backing

Test 2

Vinyl wallpapers have a plastic coating over either paper or non-woven material. These are washable and thicker than non-woven wallpaper. Vinyl wallpaper is best for kitchens, bathrooms, kids rooms and other high-traffic areas. 

Non-woven material is more environmentally friendly as there is less plastic in the product, and gives a more matte finish compared to vinyl. It is also more breathable, so will be less impacted by the growth of mould. 

Test 3

Yes! But avoid areas where there will be contact with flowing water, such as the shower. However, you can easily use wallpaper behind the sinks, closets, and benches.

We recommend using vinyl wallpaper in high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens for longer durability.

Test 4

A properly installed wallpaper can last 10-15 years. To increase the lifespan, ensure the following:

  1. The wall is protected from seepage/mould
  2. The room is often ventilated
  3. The wallpaper professionally installed
  4. The adhesive used is natural, not synthetic

Test5

Synthetic adhesives like CMC powders can oxidise and cause the wallpaper to discolour over time. We recommend the use of natural wallpaper adhesives like Bartoline.

Test 6

Wallpaper sticks best on plaster of paris (POP) and primer. A smooth wall will ensure that no bumps are visible under the wallpaper. Wallpaper can also be installed on smooth surfaces such as wood and plywood.

If the surface is non-porous, such as a laminate, glass or metal, the wallpaper will initially stick but will peel off faster. 

Test 7

Create a smooth surface with POP and putty. A primer is optional, but will improve adhesion and longevity of the paper.  

Ensure your wall is waterproofed for seepage. 

Test 8

The application of wallpaper is challenging, requiring the correct adhesive and experience with matching patterns along the joints. We recommend you use a professional installer. If you require assistance, please contact us and we can share the number of an installer in your region. 

Test 9

Vinyl-coated wallpapers can be gently wiped with a damp cloth or sponge. For tougher stains, you can use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.

Non-woven wallpaper is not washable, so it can only be dusted. 

Test 10

If installed with natural wallpaper adhesive, wallpaper will not damage your walls. If you have paint behind the wallpaper, it may chip when you remove the wallpaper. For further protection, you can use a layer of primer before the application of the wallpaper. 

Test 11

It depends on the pattern you like! 1.06m wallpaper may last longer as it has half the joints and so fewer opportunities for abrasion and peeling. Also, 1.06m width material may look more natural on the wall as the repeat patterns will be wider apart. 

But, it mostly comes down to your taste and preference!

Test12

Thicker GSM wallpaper will give you a better 3D effect, as the embossing on the vinyl of the wallpaper is deeper and the design will be better accentuated. Thicker wallpaper may also be more durable to scratches and tears if they are in a high-traffic area. 

Test 13

In 99% of wallpapers, seams will not be visible, especially if installed by a professional.

However, in some dark-coloured and plain patterns, hairline seams may be visible as the backing paper’s lighter colour can come through. 

Test 14

Screen resolution and photography can change the colour you see online slightly. Product colours may look different in person. We recommend you visit your nearest dealer to make your wallpaper selection, so you get exactly what you want. 

Test 15

For most designs, we recommend measuring your wall (including windows and doors to ensure matching across the space) and calculating the square footage. 

For design patterns, you will need 1 roll for 54 square feet, and for plain wallpapers, you can consider 1 roll for 56 square feet of space. 

For areas with lots of windows and odd-shaped walls, wastage will increase and more material may be required. We suggest you call a professional installer measure your wall to guide you best.
