D-C-Fix Splendid Marble 3D Grey Wallpaper Roll, 67.5cm x 4m

The D-C-Fix Splendid Marble 3D Grey Wallpaper is a thick, textured vinyl wallpaper designed to create a realistic tiled effect without the need for actual tiles. Its primary function is to cover existing flat surfaces like old ceramic tiles, painted walls, or shower walls, providing a quick and cost-effective way to update kitchen splashbacks, bathroom walls, or other areas. The material features a convincing 3D marble pattern that mimics the look and feel of real stone or tile, offering a decorative solution that is far simpler than removing and replacing existing surfaces. This wallpaper is constructed from a paper base with a PVC compound and a clear PVC varnish surface, making it exceptionally durable and completely waterproof when properly sealed. Unlike standard wallpaper, it is designed to be hung horizontally to achieve a seamless, join-free finish on areas like splashbacks. Application is straightforward: for absorbent surfaces like plastered walls, standard wallpaper paste is applied to the back of the paper and left to soak for 10 minutes; for non-absorbent surfaces like ceramic tiles, a solvent-free dispersion adhesive glue is applied directly to the wall. Once installed, all edges and joins must be sealed with clear silicone sealant to ensure a watertight finish, making it suitable for use in wet areas including showers. The product is best suited for DIY enthusiasts looking for a practical home improvement project. It provides an excellent solution for renovating kitchens and bathrooms without the mess and expense of retiling. The wallpaper can be cut easily with scissors to fit around sockets and fixtures, and once sealed, it can be wiped clean with mild household cleaners. It is important to apply it only to smooth, solid, dry, and clean surfaces, avoiding uneven areas like raised tiles or untreated damp walls. For complete removal, the PVC surface can be peeled away from the backing paper, which may remain as an ideal underlayer for subsequent wallcoverings.
