FAQs
What is Anaglypta Lining Paper used for?
It is used as a base layer on walls to create a smooth, uniform surface before painting or applying wallpaper. It helps to cover minor imperfections and provides a better finish.
Can I paint over this lining paper?
Yes, this lining paper is designed to be painted over once the adhesive is dry. You can then apply your chosen paint colour.
What is the difference between this and standard lining paper?
Professional quality lining paper like this typically offers greater durability, a more consistent texture, and better coverage of wall imperfections compared to basic lining papers.
What adhesive should I use?
Use a strong, high-quality wallpaper adhesive specifically recommended for lining paper or heavy-duty wallpapers. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
How do I prepare my walls before applying?
Walls must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint or wallpaper. Fill any large holes and sand down uneven surfaces.
What roll sizes are available?
Anaglypta Lining Paper - Cream is available in 10m, 20m, and 40m roll lengths.
Is this product waterproof?
No, this is a paper-based product and is not waterproof. It requires a decorative top coat (paint or wallpaper) for protection and aesthetics.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appearing after application
This can occur if the adhesive is not applied evenly or if the paper was not smoothed out sufficiently during hanging. Carefully lift the affected area and re-smooth, ensuring all air is pushed out towards the edges. For stubborn bubbles, a pin prick may allow air to escape, followed by gentle pressing.
Seams not staying together
Ensure you are using a high-quality wallpaper adhesive suitable for lining paper and that it is applied to both the wall and the paper where instructed. Check that seams are butted tightly together and apply gentle pressure along the seam with a seam roller or smoothing brush.
Paper tearing during application
This may indicate the adhesive has dried too quickly or the paper is being handled too roughly. Ensure the room temperature is moderate. Use a pasting brush or sponge to apply adhesive evenly and handle the paper gently, especially when wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from grease or loose material. Use a suitable wallpaper adhesive, following the manufacturer's instructions for application to both the wall and the paper. Hang the lining paper vertically, ensuring seams are butted together tightly. Trim excess with a sharp blade.
