MagScapes wallcoverings are all receptive to magnets. The ferrous particles embedded within the wallcovering material making it receptive to magnets, just like a metal cabinet or fridge door. 

Because our wallcoverings are not magnetically charged, they have no effect on sensitive equipment such as laptops, mobile phones or pacemakers. A wall covered with MagScapes is like being in a room that has a metal filing cabinet.

Yes. MagScapes wallcoverings are completely safe - they will not harm children, pets, computers or pacemakers. They do not contain; lead, dangerous chemicals, pthalates, solvents, thinners or wetting agents. MagScapes vinyl wallcoverings have been tested to meet the strict European health and safety standards.

To refer to our manufacturers safety and data sheet: Click here.

MagScapes wallcoverings hang with ready mixed paste and are slightly heavier to manage so we recommend they are hung by professional decorators. 

For full installation and user instructions, please click the links below:

MagLiner: User and Decorator Guide
MagWrite: User and Decorator Guide
MagPaintable: User and Decorator Guide

Yes, you can paint directly onto MagPaintable. Alternatively, you can use an all purpose primer on MagLiner then overpaint with your preferred colour choice.

The wallcoverings require no special care, simply keep clean using a damp cloth. If using in areas of bright sunlight, regularly move magnets to avoid long-term discolouring of wallcovering.

Yes. MagScapes wallcoverings may be applied to cylindrically curved walls.

For all hanging options (see configurations) 

No. MagScapes wallcoverings and magnets are designed to work only on vertical surfaces.

Thinking about having fun with magnets on a wall but want to use a designer wallcovering? No problem, use MagLiner, it is our lowest priced (£32.45m2) and most versatile material that is used as a liner and makes any wallcovering work with magnets. 

It adheres to the wall (see configurations) with wallpaper paste and can be used raw or covered with any wallpaper, digital print or fabric. 

And because it has the highest receptive rating, all magnets will work on the surface as if you were using a fridge door.


Magnet receptivity rating 5/5
MagLiner: User and Decorator Guide

MagLiner is often used in its raw state on walls. It works well in loft or industrial spaces - and presents the lowest cost way to use magnets on walls.

Using MagLiner beneath wallpaper, digital print or fabric is the most common use of this material.

Simply apply the preferred material on top of the MagLiner following the manufactures guide.

Which Pens to use?

MagScapes recommend both Expo and Artline dry-erase markers and accessories for MagWrite materials.

When using dry erase pens on our wallcoverings please consider the following:

• use a recommended brand (cheaper pen nibs can scratch the surface, more aggressive pens use stronger inks that leave stains or are harder to wipe off)
• use whiteboard spray and a microfibre cloth to remove pen marks at the end of each day
• white spirit may be used to clean shadow stains

How to clean dry erase and chak pen marks?

When using chalkboard pens apply the following cleaning steps:

• examine your chalk pen or its packaging to determine what kind of chalk ink you’ve used. Most chalk pens wipe clean with water but some pens used for chalkboard artwork require an ammonia based cleanser. If you can’t determine what kind of chalk pen you’ve used, first try removing the pen marks with water only, and then proceed to other methods.
• wet a clean, lint-free cloth with water. Wring out the cloth so the rag is damp instead of drenched. Wipe your chalkboard wall with the wet rag to remove the pen marks.
• dampen your cloth with an ammonia-based cleanser; most glass surface cleaners contain ammonia. Wipe away the chalk pen marks with the ammonia dampened rag.
• dab at stubborn pen marks with the wet edge of a melamine sponge if the ammonia doesn’t work. Since the melamine sponge can remove your walls chalkboard paint only use very gentle pressure.

Edging - where MagWrite wallcoverings end

MagWrite Edging Trim has been created to protect whiteboard pens from writing on wall areas - this adhesive backed trim comes in 12mm width to provide a smart and easy decorative edging strip for MagWrite gloss and matt dry-erase wallcoverings. It also keeps dry erase pens from running over the edges.

Simply cut with craft knife, fine blade or scissors and apply by peeling off the self-adhesive backing tape. For corners, use a fine blade to make 45 degree mitred corner joints.

Seams - where MagWrite strips join

MagWrite writeable materials can be applied horizontally - to avoid pens from skipping over seams.
Material seams can butt together cleanly, however, they can also be overlapped and splice joined if the material or wall is warped.

If you wish to be able to write over the seams please note that the pen ink will stain the seam as it is not possible to clean ink from the seam joins.

Tips and Tricks:
We have been made aware that one innovative decorator has used 3M Scotch tape to cover MagWrite seams to allow pens to write over the seam.
- MagWrite Matt - Use 3m Scotch Magic Tape
- MagWrite Gloss - Use 3m Scotch Crystal Tape

DECORATOR GUIDE Configuration It is recommended that MagWrite Wallcoverings are hung horizontally and positioned at optimum writing height for comfortable writing experience. Other configurations are possible as shown above. Tools: - A felt or sponge roller for paste application - Scissors or sharp blade knife - Straight edge - Soft wallpaper brush - Microfibre cloth or sponge Wall preparation: - MagWrite writing materials work best when applied to mirror smooth surface - ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, sound, mirror smooth and free from paint or chemicals. - best results will be obtained if the base plaster is sealed with a PVA sealer. - where necessary fill holes with filler and use fine sandpaper to smooth. Hanging guide: - for best writing experience it is recommended that MagWrite is applied horizontally - allow wallcoverings to adjust to room temperature - cut wallcovering into required lengths. - ensure wallcoverings are hung using MagFix or any high quality ready-mixed adhesive. - pour adhesive into a pasting tray and using a roller apply paste evenly to the wall (soaking is not necessary) cover an area to allow for 1-2 drops - apply the cut lengths, edge to edge, vertically or horizontally as required - apply MagWrite to the wall (black side to face the wall) - use a soft clean wallpaper brush or microfibre cloth and smoother tool to flush out air bubbles and creases - use a straight edge and sharp trimming knife at corners - do not puncture air bubbles and do not use metal or sharp objects (other than the cutting knife) on the surface when installing the material - remove any excess paste with a damp sponge and wipe surface clean - leave to dry thoroughly (min 24 hrs) Finishing options: Edging: - to prevent pens from skipping on to non writeable areas it is recommended that an edging strip is used Removal: - gently strip away from wall using a scraper - MagWrite will retain its receptive quality so may be be re-used if undamaged on removal

MagScapes sell high and low power magnets.

MagPlus Magnets:

These are nickle coated neodymium magnets that have a very strong pull strength. They are designed for adult applications only and are not suitable for children.

These magnets are used for decorative and utility applications such as bulletin boards and, because of their pull strength, are especially useful for holding notes, plans, charts and other items to a wall.

Warning! Magnets sticking together or becoming attached to a metallic object inside the human body can cause serious or fatal injury. Seek immediate medical help if magnets are swallowed, ingested or inhaled.

To read our magnets safety guide, please click here.

MagLite Magnets:

This is a low power magnet that is made with generic rubber sheet and is safe for all applications including kids play and educational spaces.

The magnetic motifs have a base substrate made from standard sheet magnet used to create fridge magnets. It is a rubber sheet that contains millions of microscopic iron particles that have been magnetized by an electro-magnetic field. Once magnetized, these iron particles hold their magnetic charge permanently. The magnetic material, when cut to size and shape, will hold its own weight on a vertical MagScapes product securely.

Plastazote is a foam material used as a tactile face on MagLite magnets - it is a flexible closed-cell polyethylene foam that is chemically inert and non-irritant. Unlike other foams, it has a ‘sealed’ non-absorbent surface and is stiff enough to make safe toys, puzzles and ‘fancy dress’ items for the most boisterous of children (and grown-ups!) It is widely used for impact absorbing sports-wear products and, in medicine, for padding splints and injury supports. Other uses include insulation, sealing and packaging. Plastazote can be thermo-formed and laser cuts easily, safely and cleanly.

Depending on the type of fridge magnet:

• MagLiner or MagWrite wallcoverings have high receptivity so most magnets will hold
• MagPrint or MagPaintable wallcoverings have low receptivity so only flexible sheet magnets will hold (not iron, neodymium or ceramic magnets)

If in doubt, please call or test on sample before buying.
