Adhesive wallpaper: 5 good questions to ask before buying

1) Where to put my adhesive wallpaper?

"In interior design, on walls, furniture and even objects!"
Indeed, Luminis Films adhesive paper is not only intended for application on walls, it can just as easily be placed on furniture. A dresser top, art deco closet doors, a table, a work surface, a headboard... The places where you can put your adhesive wallpaper are very numerous! You can even consider putting it on everyday objects. Do you have a scrap piece left over? Why not use a small piece to customize your phone cover or a kitchen tray?



2) On what type of surface?

"Any surface as long as it is smooth and non-porous"
Once you've figured out where you're going to put your self-adhesive covering, you'll need to pay close attention to the type of surface. Forget about porous or irregular surfaces, as the adhesive paper will not hold on to it and may come off, so you should go for a very smooth and non-porous surface for the best possible hold. If you wish, you can use a primer to further increase the adhesion of the adhesive wallpaper on the surface.



3) Is adhesive wallpaper heat resistant?

"Contact with an intense heat source is not recommended!"
Many of you are wondering about applying Luminis Films adhesive wallpaper in your kitchen, on your worktop for example. It is indeed a very good economical and practical solution to instantly renovate your kitchen. However, it is important to take care of your adhesive wallpaper to ensure that it lasts. It is important to know that the adhesive does not have a good resistance to high heat, so do not put a hot pan on it and prefer the coasters.
 

4) How do I clean my adhesive wallpaper?

"Decorative adhesives are waterproof and can be easily cleaned with water"
All our adhesive wall papers are waterproof but should not be immersed in water or in continuous contact, such as in a shower for example. You can however easily clean them with a sponge and your usual household products. We advise you to avoid abrasive or solvent-based solutions! Thus, you will be able to fully enjoy your wallpaper adhesive in a kitchen or a bathroom, without fearing for the cleaning.
 

5) How can I easily remove my adhesive wallpaper for walls and furniture?

"The coatings are easily removed but are designed to last. Therefore, the surface underneath can be damaged (paint peeling off)."
Before applying your self-adhesive wallpaper, ask yourself the question of how long it will last. Indeed, if you know in advance that you will remove it at some point, you will have to take care of the support. If it is painted wood, plasterboard etc... during the removal, the adhesive may tear the surface. To avoid any risk, a lacquered surface is ideal.
