How To Use Our Vinyl

Vinyl Rolls On Tiles
Our vinyl isn't like traditional lino flooring, it's only 0.5-1mm thick so it is lighter and can be used in more areas!
If your grout lines are really deep or you are choosing a block colour or less patterned design we would strongly advise you to purchase a sample first so you can see how it will look in person before commiting to a whole roll.
Our peel & stick tiles are much thicker (2.5mm) & may be a more suitable option for you if you want a flush finish!-
R9 Anti Slip Rating - Products with an R9 anti slip rating will provide minor resistance to slips, making them best suited for use in dry internal spaces such as dining rooms. If intending to use R9 tiles in bathrooms, it is crucial that you use a bath matt to help with stability when getting in and out of the shower.

You can view our updated turnaround times here!

When should i apply my vinyl?
We would reccomend applying your product as soon as you recieve it for best results. If the vinyl is sat in a cupboard on the backing paper for a few months over time the adhesive will dry out & may not adhere to your surface as well as it would if used as soon as its delivered.

Do You Accept Returns & Refunds?
Every printed product is custom made to order, so we're unfortunately not able to accept a return for these items.
We require that you purchase samples first so you can get a feel for the product and test it before commiting to a roll of our vinyl or a pack of tiles.
-
The exception to this is if it arrives damaged for any reason which can happen from time to time, although we're working with our delivery partners to reduce this.

Please ensure you check your order before checking out (sizes, vinyl type, rotation etc)
Where can you use vinyl?
The answer is almost anywhere! Check out our 'which vinyl, where?' page for details.
We strongly advise to try out a sample on the area you would like to cover with vinyl first, this way you can test it sticks, bonds to the material underneath & fits the areas athestic! If the sample sticks securely, your good to go!
If you are looking to apply vinyl to raw surfaces like wood and concrete we advise priming/varnishing the area first or in some cases adding an underlay if the area isnt smooth! This will create almost a glossy finish and the vinyl should bond to it much better!
Please note: Like any product application, we always advise trying it on a discreet area of where you want to apply it first, to ensure any coating such as paint or varnish is not removed with it.
Like any adhesive product you run the risk when using vinyl that it will remove paint, varnish or damage uncoated areas like mdf etc.
Top Tip-
When using seperate sheets together in an area the vinyl needs to be overlapped ever so slightly. When the vinyl settles in it may shrink slightly & this will eliminate any gaps showing.
Measuring Up & Order Sizes
Check out our helpful vinyl measuring guide here.
Note: Like any printed product, batches are very important. We cannot guarantee that orders printed at different times will match with a previous purchase.
Ordering. Our designs are 0.6m or 0.65m wide and then you can order the length that you need. If you need more than 3m, you can order multiples of the sizes that you need.
Note:Our 60cm and 65cm prints are printed at slightly different aspect ratios and will not be seamless when combined with prints of another size.
If you require a bespoke size please fill in our custom size form. We can print up to 115cm width & any length!

Samples!
One thing that we definitely cannot advise enough, is to order a sample. Our customers plan amazing things and we want to make sure that it's perfect. Colours can look a little different on screen than they are printed, we purchase designs from different designers who work with different colour palletes & its great to make sure the vinyl works in your certain area and to test them over a few weeks.
As all of our prints are done bespoke for you, we're not able to accept returns on them if you don't like the colour or feel of the vinyl.
-
Some of our designs may look lighter coloured on screen before being printed so samples are a great way to know what you are getting before buying a large roll.

Does The Vinyl Have A Shelf Life?
Yes.
We would recommend applying your vinyl as soon as you receive it for best results. If the vinyl is sat in a cupboard on the backing paper for a few months over time the adhesive will dry out & will not adhere to your surface as well as it would if used as soon as its purchased.

Cleaning your vinyl!
When it comes to cooking & food splattering onto your vinyl you want to clean it as soon as possible to save any acidic sauces soaking into the vinyl. We have tested our vinyl with most food spillages and most wipe off instantly. The exception is foods like turmeric, highly concentrated tomato sauces and anything super vibrant in colour which may be harder to remove. To avoid staining happening try and remove spillages as soon as possible with any normal cleaning products (apart from bleach or anything which may discolour the vinyl)
What Vinyl Type Do I Need?
