Why peel and stick
Traditional wallpaper is a decision you cannot undo. It needs paste, a table, a
professional more often than not, and a landlord who does not mind. That is a lot to
commit to for a wall you might feel differently about in two years.
Peel and stick is the same idea without the commitment. It is a printed vinyl with
the adhesive already on the back and a gridded backing paper you cut against. It
repositions while you are hanging it, so a drop that goes on crooked lifts off and
goes back on straight, and it comes away later without taking the paint with it.
What decides whether it works
Three things, and none of them is the paper. The wall has to be smooth, clean and
fully cured, so give fresh paint two to three weeks. The measuring has to include the
pattern repeat once per drop, and you round up, because a short final drop is the one
mistake that cannot be fixed afterwards. And the air has to come out from the centre
to the edges before the adhesive sets, which is what the smoothing tool is for.
That is why we sell the tools beside the paper rather than treating them as an
afterthought. A laser level keeps the first drop true and every drop after it follows
the first.
Being straight about what we are
We are an online shop and nothing else. We have no showroom, we do not install, we
do not send samples, and we do not print to order. What we sell is the range on this
site, photographed on real walls, with its published specification on every page.
We would rather say that before you order than after. Where a listing does not
publish a figure, the page says so instead of guessing.
How we work
You order on this site and pay by card through Stripe or by PayPal. Delivery is
across New Zealand, free on orders of $100
or more and $25 below that, arriving
5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour order handling and processing time. Express delivery is offered as a paid upgrade at any order
value.
Not sure how many rolls a wall needs, or whether a paper will hold in a bathroom?
Email us before you order at theteam@customersupport.care
and a person will answer, usually within one working day.
We run country stores in several markets selling the same range. If you are outside
New Zealand, start at our company hub,
