Wood Slat Grain Peel and Stick Wallpaper

What this wallpaper is

This is a peel and stick wallpaper with a wood slat grain print on matte PVC vinyl. The surface is smooth and low sheen, so it reads like finished wood rather than a glossy sticker. A self-adhesive backing runs the full length of the roll. You press it onto the wall, smooth it down, and the paper holds. When you want it gone, it peels off without residue.

The wood grain runs in vertical slats, which suits accent walls, alcoves, the back of a bookcase, or a rental kitchen that needs a quick change. Because the backing is already on the roll, there is no paste, no water tray and no drying time.

Size and coverage

One roll is 15.7 x 118.1 in (40 x 300 cm). That is 12.92 sq ft (1.2 m2) of coverage per roll. The roll is long and narrow, so plan your seams before you cut.

To estimate rolls, measure the width and height of your surface in feet, multiply them, then divide by 12.92. Round up. For a wall that is 8 ft wide and 8 ft tall, that is 64 sq ft, or about 5 rolls. Buy one extra roll for trimming and for matching the pattern across seams.

Colors

Four wood tones are available:

• Light wood: pale, soft grain for bright rooms
• Medium wood: warm mid tone that reads like oak
• Gray: cool, weathered look
• Brown: deeper tone with strong grain lines

All four share the same matte finish and the same slat pattern. Ordering a sample of two tones side by side is the easiest way to see how they sit against your floor and cabinets.

Where it can go

This wallpaper is made for smooth painted walls, tile and glass. Those surfaces give the adhesive a flat, clean face to grip. Textured walls, fresh paint, brick, concrete and unfinished drywall are not a good match, because the paper cannot sit flush.

Good spots include a painted accent wall, a tiled backsplash that you want to cover for a while, a glass panel, a rental bedroom wall, or the side of a cabinet. In a bathroom or kitchen, keep it away from direct spray and standing water, and wipe splashes rather than letting them sit.

How to fit it

1. Clean the surface. Wash off grease and dust, then let it dry fully.
2. Measure and mark. Use a level line as your starting point, since walls are rarely square.
3. Cut with a little extra. Add about 2 in (5 cm) at the top and bottom for trimming.
4. Peel and press. Start at the top corner, peel the backing down a few inches at a time, and press the paper flat as you go.
5. Smooth out air. Work from the center to the edges with a soft cloth or a plastic smoother.
6. Trim the edges with a sharp blade against a straight edge.
7. Overlap seams slightly or butt them tightly, and match the grain direction from roll to roll.

If you need to lift a corner to fix a bubble, peel it back slowly and press again. The adhesive tolerates a small amount of repositioning right after application.

Care and removal

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Skip abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can dull the matte finish. For removal, warm the paper with a hair dryer on low to soften the adhesive, then pull it back at a low angle, close to the wall. Any leftover tack wipes away with a damp cloth. The paper comes off without residue on the surfaces listed above.
