Superfresco Paintable Wood Slat Wallpaper - White

No, this is a "paste the paper" wallpaper. This means you will need to apply wallpaper adhesive to the back of the wallpaper strips yourself before hanging them.

While it can withstand some moisture once properly painted and sealed, it is generally not recommended for high-humidity areas like directly inside a shower enclosure. Ensure good ventilation if used in a bathroom environment to prevent issues.

To calculate, measure the height and total width of all walls you plan to cover. Each roll is 10 meters long and 52 centimeters wide. It's always a good practice to purchase one extra roll to account for any errors, pattern matching (though minimal for this product), or future repairs.

You can use most standard interior emulsion paints. For best results and to highlight the wood slat texture, a good quality matte, eggshell, or silk finish paint is often recommended. Always ensure the wallpaper is fully dry before painting.

This wallpaper is described as "peelable," which generally means it can be removed in full sheets when you're ready for a change, often leaving less residue and causing less damage to the underlying wall surface compared to non-peelable types.

It is effective at concealing minor wall imperfections such as small cracks, light scuffs, or slight unevenness. For larger holes, significant damage, or very rough surfaces, it is recommended to properly fill and sand these areas before wallpapering for the best and smoothest finish.

For the best results, it is always recommended to remove existing wallpaper first. Applying new wallpaper over old can lead to adhesion issues, trapped moisture, and visible imperfections from the underlying layer.

While not always strictly necessary for all wall types, priming is highly recommended, especially for new plaster, highly absorbent walls, or walls with significant color changes. Primer creates a uniform surface, aids adhesion, and helps prevent bubbling.

Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Check if enough paste was applied evenly to the back of the wallpaper and if it was allowed to 'book' for the correct duration. Ensure the room temperature isn't too cold, as this can affect adhesion. Reapply paste to the affected areas and press firmly.

Gently smooth out air bubbles from the center to the edges using a smoothing brush or plastic smoother while the paste is still wet. For persistent bubbles after drying, a small incision with a sharp blade can allow trapped air to escape, then gently press down.

While this product has a free match, ensuring strips are hung perfectly edge-to-edge and smoothed properly is crucial. Avoid overstretching the paper during application. A seam roller can sometimes help flatten edges if applied gently and carefully before the paste dries.

Ensure the wallpaper is completely dry (24-48 hours) before painting. Use a good quality primer (if not already done) to create a uniform base. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats. Multiple thin coats usually provide better coverage than one thick coat.

This can occur if too much paint is applied, filling in the texture, or if the wallpaper wasn't perfectly smooth underneath. Ensure a thin, even coat of paint. For future applications, ensure all underlying wall imperfections are filled and sanded properly before wallpapering.
