Skins Ficus Turquoise

Skins Ficus Turquoise uses a drop match installation method, which means each new strip must be shifted down by a set distance – indicated by the design itself – before it aligns correctly with the adjacent strip. This is different from a straight match, and it means you will need to factor in the drop offset as additional waste when calculating how many rolls to buy. L’Antic Colonial provides both an installation sheet and an installation video to help you understand and apply the drop measurement correctly.

Because Skins Ficus Turquoise requires a drop match – where each strip is offset by a specified number of centimetres to align the design – you will lose some material at the top or bottom of each drop. Each roll measures 53 cm wide by 1005 cm long (approximately 5.33 square metres), but the effective coverage per roll will be lower once drop-match trimming is accounted for. As a general rule, we recommend adding at least 10-15% to your calculated wall area, and consulting L’Antic Colonial’s installation guidance for the specific drop measurement on the Turquoise colourway.

Yes, Skins Ficus Turquoise is listed as suitable for bathroom walls, and as a non-woven wallpaper by L’Antic Colonial it is better equipped to handle the humidity of a bathroom than standard paper wallpapers. The bold turquoise tone makes it an eye-catching choice for a bathroom feature wall or full coverage. To keep the colour and material in good condition, ensure your bathroom is well ventilated and avoid direct prolonged water contact on the wallpaper surface.
