No, we don’t recommend overlapping wallpaper seams. Seams should be always “butted” tightly together as well as smoothed down with a wallpaper seam smoother. Furthermore, properly “booked” wallpaper doesn’t shrink on the wall. So there’s no need to overlap.
When wallpaper is properly applied over walls that have been prepared with a wallpaper primer, additional paste is not needed. Applying extra paste to pre-pasted wallpaper can be especially problematic if you ever decide to redecorate, because it can make it more difficult to remove the wallpaper from the wall. By getting the walls ready and following the hanging instructions, your wallcovering should stick to the wall just right without extra wallpaper paste.
However, some decorators still prefer to use extra paste. Some claim that, especially in a bathroom, where the wallpaper will be exposed to steamy moisture, this extra paste creates a fool-proof bond with the wall. Others prefer this method of wallpaper installation to using a water tray. They will brush a thin paste solution on to the wallpaper in lieu of submerging the paper in water, thus activating the pre-pasted backing with the moisture of the paste. While this is not necessary, if you truly feel the need to add extra paste to your pre-pasted wallpaper, or simply prefer this method, be sure to use a thin, watery coat of paste, applied evenly to prevent uneven expanding or contracting of the paper.
Also, as always, be extra conscientious to “book” the wallpaper to allow for the adhesive and paper to be evenly activated, before it is applied to the wall.
Yes, we do recommend priming the wall first. Sometimes referred to as the old fashioned process of “sizing”, priming is an important part of the wallpapering process. Primer makes an ideal and uniform surface for your wallpaper to stick to, and is also an important part of making the wallpaper removal process easier. Priming the wall properly will also help in the removal of the wallpaper when it’s time to update your room with a fresh new wallpaper.
Wait at least 36 hours after hanging our paintable wallpaper before painting it. This will allow the adhesive to fully dry and set. If you try to paint too soon, the wallpaper can bubble. Paintable wallpaper can be painted over several times if you change your mind or redecorate in a new color scheme. Paintable wallpaper does not need to be painted if you want to leave it as a clean, white textured wallcovering.
You do not need to use a special paint for paintable wallpaper. Paint the wallpaper just as you would a regular wall. Paintable wallpaper can be painted over several times if you change your mind or redecorate in a new color scheme. You do not need to prime the Paintable wallpaper before painting. In some cases, people have reported that priming filled in some of the texture and lead to a less dramatic relief.
Unfortunately, not all wallpaper removal projects are easy. The adhesive behind the wallpaper is formulated to release when wet. When removing wallpaper, many people do not get the backing wet enough. Using a wallpaper perforation tool, and allowing enough time for the wallpaper removal solution to loosen the paste makes the process much easier. If you are mixing the wallpaper removal solution yourself, make sure to use very hot water. For more information see our How to Remove Wallpaper guide.
Steamers are rarely necessary. A good wallpaper removal solution and a wallpaper perforation tool should do the job. Just follow the manufacturer’s directions, and be patient. For more information, see our How to Remove Wallpaper guide.
Damaged drywall is a common side effect of wallpaper removal, especially when removing old wallpaper. Kilz Oil Based Primer can be used to repair the wall or ask your retailer to recommend a primer formulated for repairing drywall. Kilz has an odorless formula, and also has high building capabilities, which aid in filling in imperfections. Depending on the condition of your walls after priming, you may also have to “skim coat” walls or fill in imperfections by hand with a smoother.
If a piece of wallpaper has been torn from the wall, you can smooth it out and glue it back into place. Use a small brush to apply paste to the piece, re-affix it firmly to the wall with a smoother and wipe away any extra glue with a damp sponge.
If you don’t have the original piece, or it is too damaged to replace, you will need additional wallpaper for the repair. Trim off any loose bits of wallpaper from the damaged area with a utility knife. Cut out a piece of the new paper that is larger than the hole or tear you are trying to cover, where the pattern exactly matches the area you are trying to repair. Place the patch wallpaper over the damaged area and cut out a shape that is larger than the torn area, cutting through your patch piece and the wallpaper underneath. Gently scrape away the wallpaper from the wall that is inside of this new shape you have created. Apply glue to the patch piece and apply it on the wall. Wipe away any excess glue from the seams.
The match means the place where the design matches at the seams. Check the back of your wallpaper for the match information.
We are flexible and introduce a wide range of completely tweaked divider paintings and conventional backdrops to suit any divider that you wish to beautify, be it in an office, college, bar, lodging, school, or working environment.
