Wallpaper Symbols

Good lightfastness means that your wallpaper won’t be easily sun-bleached. All wallpaper will fade over time but this symbol ensures you that your wallpaper will withstand direct sunlight for many years.

All our wallpapers are washable. This means that you can wipe them down gently with a damp cloth. Make sure you wring the cloth of excess water. Wiping down your wallpaper is essential when wallpapering to remove residue glue. Don’t scrub the paper as this will rub off the color.

All our wallpapers are paste-the-wall, also known as non-woven. This symbol tells you to paste your adhesive onto the wall when putting up your wallpaper. You will find this symbol printed on your roll.

We recommend that you choose an adhesive that is suitable for non-woven wallpaper. This symbol indicates that the adhesive is suitable for non-woven wallpapers. For best results, use the adhesive at room temperature.

If you see this symbol on your roll it means that you match your pattern straight. This is a common match for wallpapers and nearly always the case for checkered patterns.

This symbol indicates that your wallpaper has an offset match also known as a drop match. This means that the pattern will feature in diagonal lines. When wallpapering with a drop match you need to match up your pattern according to the number of cms specified on the pattern repeat.

This is the symbol for a free match. Wallpapers with this symbol can be matched freely or have no match at all. This is nearly always the case for plain wallpapers.
