What is non-woven material?
Non-woven materials are manufactured sheets of fibres that are bonded together. The fibres may be man-made or natural, but all natural fibre is sourced from an FSC approved supplier!

Why non-woven material?
Non-woven papers are much better than traditional wallpaper for a few reasons:
- Stronger material with better tear resistance
- Easier to cut
- Don't separate at the seams when applying
- Easier to install and remove
- Allows you to paste the wall, not the paper!

All our papers are paste on the wall,  have good light fastness and are peelable.

Ink Usage
In addition to sourcing the paper responsibly, we also only use water based, environmentally friendly inks on our wallpaper. These top quality inks also give us protection from light fade and resistance to scratches/abrasions.

If you have any other questions on the materials, inks or sustainability, please do let us know!

When it comes to hanging your wallpaper, you'd undoubtedly get the best guaranteed result by getting a professional wallpaper fitter to come and apply it for you.

If you're feeling up for the task, keep reading as we've got plenty of tips for you when hanging your wallpaper.

Equipment
To get started, you'll need some equipment:
- Rolls of amazing Jes Rose wallpaper (of course!)
- A sharp blade like a craft knife for trimming
- Non-woven wallpaper adhesive
- A roller for applying adhesive
- A wallpaper brush or pad (optional)

You can pick up the wallpaper adhesive and rollers from any hardware store.

Preparation
Preparing your surfaces is an important step to getting the perfect finish on your walls.

Make sure your walls are smooth and clean and any old wallpaper or loose paint is removed. If you’ve used water or sugar soap to wipe your walls down, make sure they’re fully dry before starting.

To get the best out of your adhesive, gently sanding the walls you’re going to cover will get a better finish and if you’re covering a surface that’s absorbent, you may need to apply lining paper first. Remember to let your lining paper dry completely before getting started!

Adhesive & Application
We do things a little differently than traditional paper, we ask you to apply your wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall.

A good quality, fungicide protected adhesive specifically for non-woven papers is the best product to use here.

Apply the adhesive to the wall to cover just wider than a width of one strip of paper and you can use a wallpaper brush to smooth down the covering, working from the centre outwards to get rid of any air bubbles. Be careful not to get any paste onto your wallpaper brush too!

Wallpaper should be hung in a clockwise direction around the room and followed around to ensure that the pattern matches up correctly. Hang the first sheet ensuring it's perfectly square to the wall to get started.

Wallpaper Care
Our coated wallpapers are spongeable, while our non-coated paper should be cleaned with a clean dry brush or carefully with a brush accessory on your vacuum cleaner.

Suitability for wet environments
We recommend our coated wallpapers for bathrooms, however you can also use a wallpaper varnish to seal the paper. This is done at the customers own risk and we encourage you to test it on an offcut of the paper as it may alter the colours slightly.

Ordering with us is simple and all our available designs are found on our website.

Samples
We offer A4 samples of our designs, on both types of non-woven paper so you can make sure that your wallpaper will be perfect for your project.

Sizing
All our paper is available in 10 metre rolls, at a 52cm width which is around 5.226m2 on each roll.

There are a number of calculators online that will help you work out how much you need to order (a great one by OmniCalculator is available here) but please do get in touch if you have any queries.

Lead Time
For full rolls, we advise a lead time for 15 working days which is industry leading for custom printed small batch orders. In practice, this will generally by closer to 10 but it is not a guarantee.

As always, we're always available via email to answer any questions that you have about your new project. It's a new product for us too, so we may need to work with our suppliers for very specific questions but we'll be sure to sort you out!
