FAQs
What kind of adhesive should I use?
Use a good quality wallpaper adhesive, such as Solvite All Purpose Wallpaper Adhesive (code 27571), following the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I paint directly onto the lining paper?
Yes, you can. Allow the lining paper to dry completely before painting. Usually, two coats of paint are recommended for the best finish.
Is this lining paper suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, this lining paper is suitable for bathrooms provided the room is well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup. Ensure you use a suitable paint for high-humidity environments.
How do I cut the lining paper?
Use a sharp utility knife or a wallpaper trimming tool along a straight edge to cut excess paper at the top and bottom of the wall.
What is the coverage per roll?
Each roll (20m x 0.53m) covers approximately 11.2m².
Can I use this lining paper to cover cracks?
It will cover minor cracks, but for walls with significant damage, a heavier grade lining paper is recommended.
What is the difference between 1400 grade and other grades?
The grade refers to the thickness and weight of the paper. 1400 grade is suitable for general use and smoothing minor imperfections. Heavier grades are recommended for walls with more significant damage.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles appear after application.
Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to gently push the air bubbles out towards the edges. If they persist, carefully cut a small slit in the bubble and smooth it out.
Lining paper is not sticking to the wall.
Ensure you're using the correct adhesive and applying enough of it. Make sure the wall surface is clean and dry. Check the adhesive instructions for specific application details.
Seams are visible after painting.
Ensure the seams are butted up closely together when applying the lining paper. Use a seam roller to gently flatten the seams. Apply two coats of paint to ensure full coverage and hide the seams.
Lining paper is peeling off.
Make sure the wall surface is properly prepared and clean. Use the correct adhesive and apply it evenly. Ensure the room temperature is suitable for drying.
