• The vinyl is very easy to use just:

  1. fold down a few cm of the backing paper and stick the exposed area to the surface
  2. pull the backing paper with one hand and use a squeegee in the other hand
  3. start from the centre and squeeze out all the air with the squeegee.

  To achieve the best result we recommend that the sticky back plastic is applied with our d-c-fix® application kit. The applicator has a velvet edge which gives a smooth application that won't damage the surface. Shop application tools here. You can read more about sticky back plastic application here.

• 1. Measure the width of the surface including the edges you would like to cover. Add 6-8cm for the excess trim. This determines the width of the roll you require (eg 54cm wide surface + 8cm = 62cm. Use a 67.5cm roll)
  2. Measure the length of all surfaces and add 8cm for each surface. This determines how many meters you need.
  3. The standard sizes of the rolls are 2m and 15m. It is best to use one length for each surface. If you need to add two pieces together then our wood grain designs will hide the joins the best.

  Here is a general guide of approximately how much vinyl the most common projects require:

  Appliance: 2m/1.5m x 67.5cm

  Fridge, dishwasher, washing machine

  Bathroom Vanity: 2 x 45cm x 2m

  Small single vanity with two doors and two side panels

  Bench top: 67.5cm x 2m

  Standard bench top 1.8m long x 60cm wide

  Chest of Drawers: 3 x 45cm x 2m

  3 large drawers outside dimensions max D: 40cm, H: 90cm, W: 90cm

  Dining Table: 90cm x 2.1m

  1.8m/2m long and up to 85cm wide

  Kitchen Cupboards: 67.5cm x 15m

  Medium sized: 2 tall cupboards, 6 small cupboards and 3 side panels and kick-boards

• Follow these tips to care for your vinyl and get the longest length out of it:

  1. Clean with non-abrasive products. A damp cloth and soapy water is recommended.
  2. Avoid cleaning products containing chlorine or anything that can bleach the vinyl
  3. Avoid food with strong colouring like turmeric and curry spices, grinded coffee, food colouring and tomato sauce as they may stain the surface
  4. Never put anything that is warmer than 75°C directly on the vinyl surface. Pots directly from the stove are too hot but a cuppa is generally fine
  5. Use coasters and trivets to protect the surface from heat
  6. Use cutting boards at all times and lift objects instead of shuffle them to avoid scratching the surface.
  7. The vinyl can be used in damp rooms but seal the edges if they’re in direct contact with water.
