In this article, we will introduce the characteristics of removable fleece wallpaper and the steps to apply it using removable glue.

 

Why we recommend removeable non-woven wallpaper

POINT 01: Durable and easy to apply

The material (fleece) made of intertwined synthetic fibers isdurable and tear-resistant, making it easy to handle even for beginners.
The width of the wallpaper is 49cm. The size is even more compact than typical domestic wallpaper (approximately 92cm) or imported wallpaper (approximately 53cm), making it easier to apply.

 

POINT 02: Suitable for rental properties! Easy to apply and remove neatly

If you use wallpaper glue ( Poteglue ), which can be applied over regular vinyl wallpaper, it is easy to apply and remove neatly, so you can try DIY wallpapering even if you are renting.

Removable glue makes it easy to make subtle positional adjustments, and many people find this installation method easier to apply than sticker wallpaper. Perfect for your first wallpaper challenge.

If the wallpaper has a coating function such as stain prevention, it may not stick well.
Please note that depending on the condition of the wallpaper, it may damage the surface.

 

POINT 03: Matte texture

The surface is smooth to the touch and has a matte texture.
Since it is not a vinyl material, there is no unpleasant shine or vinyl odor.

Dark colored designs may have a slight sheen due to the characteristics of the material.

The ink ishighly safe and is also used in food packaging, and is manufactured using a carbon-neutral process using green energy.

 

Before applying wallpaper! Things to check before installation

  • If the base is a functional wallpaper with a coating applied to the surface to prevent dirt or water, it may not stick well.

  • We recommend application on walls with a smooth and firm surface.

How to insert washi tape to prevent gaps

As the wallpaper contains moisture from the glue and shrinks slightly as it dries, there may be a gap of approximately 0.5 mm at the joints of the wallpaper.
You can reduce gaps by placing washi tape in the joints.
We recommend using washi tape, especially for designs with dark colors or solid colors that tend to have gaps.

  1. Immediately after applying the second piece of wallpaper, open one side of the wallpaper before the glue dries.
