APPLICATION | Self adhesive sticker. The material is reusable so can be unstuck and reapplied as required | Pre pasted. Glue is activated by submerging or spraying with water before pasting to the wall |
JOINS | Overlapping Joins - installed with 10mm overlapping joins approx every 60cm | Printed with 20mm overlaps approx every 60cm for easy double seam cutting to create subtle butt joins |
JOIN VISIBILITY | This material's overlapping joins have minimal visibility and are hard to see. This is because the material is thick and does not cast any shadows on joins | Butt joins are visible but they are very subtle with minimal visibility. |
COLOURS | Prints yield medium saturated colours so perfect for both full colour AND white, pastel, grey and light coloured designs | Colours are less saturated. Prints yield softer and warmer whites so better for light, white, pastel and grey coloured designs. Darker, bolder colours printed on this material are not as vibrant so if ordering a full colour design, we recommend ordering a sample first |
