Travertine Look Peel and Stick Wall Roll, 15.7 in x 9.8 ft

A stone look that bends

Travertine and limestone cladding is heavy, costly and a job for a tiler. This roll gets you the look with a thin, flexible PVC sheet that carries a fine stone texture in its surface: small pits, soft veins and a matte finish you can feel. Because it bends, it follows gentle curves and wraps the edge of a pillar, and it cuts with a utility knife or strong scissors.

Each roll is 15.7 in (40 cm) wide and 9.8 ft (3 m) long, so one strip runs from ceiling to floor on most walls with no cross joins. One roll covers 12.9 sq ft (1.2 m²).

Four finishes

• Cream travertine: warm beige with fine pits, the classic travertine look.
• Pale gray: a light, cool stone for modern rooms.
• Stone gray: a mid gray with soft streaks.
• Concrete gray: a deeper gray with a cast-concrete feel.

How many rolls

Measure the wall width in inches and divide by 15.7 to get the number of strips, then round up. If your ceiling is lower than 9.8 ft, each strip is one roll. A wall 10 ft (120 in) wide takes 8 strips, so 8 rolls. Order everything for one wall at once so the finish matches.

Fitting

Clean the wall and let it dry. Draw a plumb line for the first strip, since corners are rarely straight. Peel back about 12 in (30 cm) of backing, set the top of the strip at the ceiling, and smooth it down and outward with a plastic smoother or a soft cloth. Keep peeling and pressing in short sections. Butt the next strip against the first without overlapping, trim the bottom at the baseboard and cut out outlets with a sharp blade.

Where to use it

It suits living room and bedroom feature walls, entry halls, the wall behind a dining table, and shops and salons that want a stone backdrop. It cleans with a damp cloth. Keep it away from showers, stove backsplashes and heaters, and fit it only on smooth, sound, dry walls. As with any adhesive wall covering, removal can lift weak paint, so test a hidden spot if you rent.
