FAQs
What is the purpose of 1200 grade lining paper?
1200 grade lining paper is a substantial paper designed to cover minor imperfections in walls, such as cracks, small holes, or uneven plaster, providing a smooth surface for painting or wallpapering.
Can I use this lining paper on new plaster?
While it can be used, this grade is particularly beneficial for older plaster that has been damaged and filled. For new plaster, ensure it is fully dry and sealed according to plaster manufacturer guidelines.
How much area does one roll cover?
One roll measures 10.05 meters in length and 0.56 meters in width, providing coverage for approximately 5.63 square meters.
What type of adhesive should I use?
A good quality, ready-mixed or powder adhesive suitable for heavyweight wallpapers is recommended. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
Can I paint over this lining paper immediately?
No, you must allow the lining paper to dry completely after application, typically 24-48 hours, before painting to ensure a good finish and prevent bubbling.
Is this paper suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
This lining paper is generally suitable for most interior walls. However, for areas with high humidity like bathrooms or kitchens, consider using a specific moisture-resistant paint or wallpaper over the lining paper.
How do I dispose of the paper and packaging?
Dispose of used paper and packaging responsibly according to local recycling guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear after application.
Gently lift the paper at the edge and re-apply with smoothed adhesive, or prick small bubbles with a fine needle and smooth down.
Lining paper is not sticking to the wall.
Ensure correct wallpaper adhesive has been used and applied evenly. Check that the wall surface is not too porous or dusty.
Seams are lifting.
Apply a small amount of adhesive to the lifting seam with a fine brush and press back into place. Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately.
Paint is not covering evenly after application.
Ensure the lining paper is completely dry and that a primer or appropriate paint has been used. A second coat of paint may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or debris. Apply a suitable wallpaper adhesive evenly to the back of the lining paper or directly to the wall, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Hang the paper, smoothing out any air bubbles with a wallpaper brush or smoother. Overlap seams slightly if necessary, or butt them together for a seamless finish, depending on preference and adhesive type. Allow adequate drying time before painting or applying further wallcoverings.
Compatibility: This lining paper is compatible with most standard wallpaper adhesives. It is designed to be painted with emulsion paints or to serve as a base for most types of wallpaper. Ensure the wall surface beneath is sound and prepared.
Care: Once applied and decorated, the surface can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture or harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the paper or its decorative finish.
