5. What are the main types of wallpaper on the market today and how do they stick onto the wall? What type does Will o’ The Wisp use?

Pre-pasted – this means that the adhesive is already on the back of the paper.

Un-pasted paper – which means that the paste (also called adhesive) needs to be applied to the paper.

Paste-the-wall – meaning that the paste is put on to the wall rather than the paper.

Will o’ The Wisp uses paste-the-wall wallpaper.

This revolutionary paste-the-wall technique has changed the world of wallpaper hanging. This technique, also known as dry hanging, is a much easier way to install! Learn more about this type of wallpaper here or view the Installation Guide.

6. What type of fabric is Will o’ The Wisp’s wallpaper material?

Our wallpaper is fully functional commercial paste-the-wall vinyl.

Vinyl wallpaper is high quality, the most resistant to moisture and the most washable. It is the preferable choice for kids rooms, bathrooms, kitchen and hallways.

Wallpaper made from paper is often cheap, absorbs moisture, is hard to clean and hard to remove hence why Kate does not use this type of wallpaper.

Kate has sourced some of the highest quality vinyl wallpapers available on the premium market today. They are suitable for both commercial and residential. These are commercial grade non woven ‘paste the wall’ wallpapers that meet the digital printing industry’s standards for materials that enhance image impact and colour, depth, dimension and durability. Additionally these products are Type II commercial digital wall coverings with Class “A” fire ratings.

Compared to traditional wallpaper our products can be removed easily as they are ‘strippable’ wallpaper. Find out more about removal below.

13. Do I need wallpaper primer and adhesive?

Prior to installation it is strongly advised that the intended wall be primed. Proper preparation of this wall surface is critical to the performance of our wallpaper. The use of a quality wall covering primer and adhesive will not only assure good bond to your wall surface,  but also greatly facilitate the removal of the wallpaper as well as minimise damage to the drywall.

More information on recommended wallpaper primer and adhesive can be found here.

14. Can the wallpaper be easily removed?

The manufactures call this wallpaper range ‘strippable wallpaper’ because it is easy to remove. If you have properly primed your wall before installation then removal will be relatively easy.

You start by stripping off the printed panels. For example, on a 3.9m wall there will only be 3 panels (each panel is 1.3M wide by the height of your wall). Each panel will come off easily as one large piece. So it should require little more then grabbing an edge and peeling back from the wall.

The bond should be tight and will require pulling with force, but the panel will release in one complete piece and should not damage the drywall. Afterward the wall will need sanding. This is due to the glue used to adhere the wallpaper to the wall.

Overall Will o’ The Wisp wallpaper is easy to remove in comparison to old fashioned wall paper.

15. How do I clean the wallpaper if it gets dirty?

Vinyl wallpaper is the most cleanable wallpaper on the market. You can remove ordinary dirt and smudges simply with a mild soap and warm water. Clean from bottom of wall upward. Rinse thoroughly with clean water from the top down using a sponge. Dry wallpaper with a soft lint free cloth or towel.

For more difficult stains that are only surface deep, the use of a stronger detergent is recommended. Firstly test on an inconspicuous area to make sure that the surface and ink are not damaged.

DO NOT USE steel wool or powdered abrasive because they can damage the image and textured surface.
DO NOT USE solvents, alcohol, pine oil, or cleaners that contain these kinds of products as they can remove the image and damage the textured surface.

When cleaning, always take measures to prevent water from dripping behind molding.
