Question 5

Why choose wall coverings as a cladding option?

Accepted Answer

There are many advantages to using wallpaper over paint to decorate your space. For instance, wallpaper can cover up imperfect or damaged walls as well as add texture and dimension in way paint simply cannot do. Wallpaper also offers a wide range of colours and complex patterns that would be difficult to create with a paint brush.

Question 6

Is wallpaper compatible with all kinds of surfaces?

Accepted Answer

You can wallpaper over just about any surface such as gypsum board, concrete, wood panelling, masonry, new and old plaster, and even tile or laminate. For uneven, newly repaired or slick surfaces, it is best to apply lining paper which provides a smooth surface for the wallpaper to adhere to, without blemishes.

Question 7

Is wallpaper high on maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Relatively easy to maintain, wallpapers can be cleaned using dry methods such as vacuuming wallpaper or dusting with a sponge/soft cloth. When vacuuming, use a soft brush attachment to avoid damaging the texture. In case of washable wallpaper, clean it with a sponge that’s been lightly dampened in a solution of water and a drop of dish soap. Don’t get the wallpaper too wet. Keep a dry cloth at hand to soak up excess solution. Finish off by rinsing the wallpaper with a cloth/sponge that’s lightly dampened with clean water. Then immediately dry the wallpaper with a terry-cloth towel. Note: Certain uniquely textured wallpaper cannot be washed. Always test an inconspicuous spot first. If the wallpaper absorbs the water or the colours bleed, it is not washable. Even in case of washable wallpaper, do not use abrasive cleaners.
