Wallpaper FAQs

What’s the minimum I can order?

 

You can order as little as one roll upwards.  We can guide you on the amount required for your project, but we also recommend that you speak with a professional if you are unsure. 

 

How long does delivery take?

 

Lead time for production is usually 10-15 days, although sometimes our provider can deliver faster.  

 

What inks do you use for your wallpapers?

 

All of the inks used when printing our wallpapers are HP Latex eco-friendly water-based, which means that they are non-toxic and very low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds). HP latex inks are free from Cadmium, Chromium, Mercury, Lead (tested to >0.2ppm) or Formaldehyde.

 

What is the width of your wallpaper?

 

Our wallpapers are either 52cm or 70cm wide. One roll is 10m.  Please refer to the specific product pages for exact details.

 

How is your wallpaper made?

 

Our designs are digitally printed onto luxury non-woven wall coverings, which are a manufactured sheet of directionally or randomly oriented fibres bonded together.  Our provider uses natural fibres from FSC approved supply.  

 

Benefits of our wallpapers include:

 

• Higher strength

• Great tear resistance, particularly when wet.

• Easy to cut, particularly when wet.

• Deliver no seam separation on the wall.

• Easy to install and remove from the wall.

• Easier to apply than other papers – paste the wall, not the paper.

• Non-woven coverings have a thicker feel than paper and appear more textile-like in appearance.

 

How do I hang my wallpaper?

 

We advise that you use a professional when hanging your wallpaper for the best results.  See below for general guidelines:

 

Preparation:

 

• Walls should be dry, clean, and even.

• Remove any old wallpaper and loose paint.

• Roughen painted surfaces with sandpaper.

• For best results, walls should be cross lined using a good quality lining paper.

• Sizing the lining paper will aid adhesion.  Linen should be allowed to dry completely before hanging your wallpaper.

 

Hanging your wallpaper:

 

• This is a paste the wall product.  Your decorator should paste the wall and not the back of the wall covering. 

• A good quality, solvent free, fungicide protected ready-mixed “tub” adhesive – specifically for paste the wall non-woven papers should be used. 

• Paste should be evenly applied to the wall to hang one length at a time, to an area slightly wider than the width of the paper. 

• Butt joints and use a decorator’s brush to smooth down the wall covering, working from the centre to the edges to express air bubbles. 

• Avoid squeezing paste out of the joints and ensure paste does not get onto the brush or roller.

• No paste should be allowed to come into contact with the surface and hands should be kept clean and dry whilst hanging the wallpaper. 

• Paste will damage the surface. We cannot accept responsibility for marks or damaged caused by paste or the hanging process. 

• Should any paste come into contact with the surface, it should be lightly sponges whilst still moist, using a clean damp sponge.

Caring for your wallpapers

 

Our coated non-woven wallpapers and vinyls are all “spongeable”. Uncoated papers and specials such as our rage of natural wall coverings should be cleaned by dusting with a clean dry brush or by brush accessory on a vacuum cleaner.

 

Suitability in areas of moisture

 

Whilst our wallpapers are suited to most environments, applications in bathrooms and kitchens may influence your choice of base paper. We recommend our vinyls and coated papers for such situations. Another option is to apply a wallpaper varnish such as POLYVINE decorators' varnish. It is important to test before application as it may affect colours.
