When it comes to installing wallpaper, not only the instructions and tips and trick are important to know, but you should definitely gather the right tools and best products for a perfect final result and an efficient installation process. If you are planning to install traditional wallpaper, you will definitely need a good wallpaper paste or glue. However, other important parts such as priming the walls before installation will apply to all wallpaper materials. In this blog post we want to share some of the best Roman products for a smooth wallpaper installation process. Read further to learn more.
Preparing the Walls
First things first. You should always make sure that the wall is properly prepared prior wallpaper installation. Why is it important? Applying wallpaper on a very textured wall, can give you an uneven result, wallpaper not sticking to the surface properly or in some cases even rip the paper during the installation process. If the wall has not been also properly cleaned, the wallpaper can hang to the wall loosely with air bubbles forming, that can result in an uneven pattern repeat and a messy final result. Therefore you should always prepare a smooth surface that has been cleaned.
