What paste should I use on my wallpaper?

Different wallpapers require different paste; We would recommend a good quality adhesive such as Bartoline All Purpose Adhesive. For heavier wallcoverings, we recommend Bartoline Ready Mixed Adhesive.

Why do some papers say to paste the wall?

Technology in wallpaper manufacture has advanced since the original wallpapers. The introduction of polyester fibres in paper pulp, means this special paper does not expand when wet and therefore does not need to soak before being hung. The adhesive can therefore be applied directly to the wall. However you can still put in on the paper in the traditional way but remember there is no need to soak. In short this is now an easy, quick to use wallcovering, especially for beginners, so look out for 'paste the wall' product. Paste the wall paper is also easier to strip when you want to change.

Must I use a lining paper?

Lining paper gives a perfect base on which to hang wallpaper and disguises any minor imperfections in the wall; therefore we would always recommend it. It is also good practise if you are new to wallpaper hanging. Cross lining means hanging lining paper horizontally to give an even finish when the top wallpaper is hung over it.

How do I get horizontal stripes, I have seen them in magazines?

This is usually a standard striped paper, hung the other way (horizontally) and gives a very different effect. A design tip to perhaps give width to a narrow room.

How do I know if my choice of wallpaper is suitable for my room?

Bathrooms: Vinyl wallpapers resist moisture and are splash-proof and are therefore most suitable for use in the bathroom. However if you bathroom is well ventilated then any wallpaper can be used with care. No wallpaper is recommended for use in direct contact with water, such as to line a shower or round a sink. Kitchens: Similar to bathrooms, ideally a vinyl wallpaper but any wallcovering can be used with care, in a well ventilated room where it does not come into direct contact with heat or water.
