Sticki-Scape is a 150 micron removable, self-adhesive PVC vinyl that will remain in place for as long as needed, but with no-fuss, no-mess removal. Self-adhesive vinyl that you can unstick — but only when you choose!
This monomeric and high-grade polymeric vinyl has a tough, lightly textured surface and is specifically developed for high resolution printing, this high-impact wallpaper will give you excellent colours, legible text and crisp images.
Designed for both walls and floors it comes with a powerful R10 antislip rating as well as an EN13501 Fire Rating making it ideal for public spaces.
Preparation - Make sure that the bare wall is sound, clean and dry. Remove all loose paint, plaster or old paper and fill all holes and cracks with filler, smoothing down the surface when it is set.
"Size" The Wall - Prior to wallpapering it's a good idea to "size" the wall as this seals porous surfaces to prevent the paste from drying too fast and it also aids slip and slide when papering. Beeline Primer Sealer is a highly recommended wallpaper "size" product as it does all of the above and also helps reduce seam splits, raised edges and bubbling of wallpaper.
Start Line - Few walls are truly square or perfectly vertical. To overcome this, use a plumb line or spirit level and draw a vertical pencil line from ceiling to floor at a set distance from the left hand edge of your wall. This start line measurement will be shown in the printed installation instructions that come with your custom printed wallpaper order.
More - Easy InstallationIf Sticki-Scape is being applied on a painted wall, it is recommended that the wall is first primed, to help ensure paint will not be peeled off the wall. The use of a blow dryer may help to soften the adhesive for easier removal from questionable surfaces like painted walls. We do not advise installation of Sticki-Scape over untreated or unprimed plasterboard as there may be some peeling away of the plasterboard surface upon removal of the Sticki-Scape material. On any surface, we suggest removing the Sticki-Scape slowly, at a 180 degree angle (pulling straight back against the material versus up) to minimise the tension against the surface from which the Sticki-Scape is being removed.
If you are not familiar with hanging wallpaper we recommend that you contact a professional decorating contractor who will be able to hang the wallpaper on your behalf. The Painting and Decorating Association represents thousands of painters and decorators across the UK and will help you find a recommended PDA member in your area.
