  1. Why bother with wallpaper – isn’t it easier just to paint?
    As well as the advantage of avoiding having to paint the wall again and again, either to cover a strong colour or because you’ve forgotten where you started, our wallpapers and paste-the-wall products are easy to hang and also look fantastic, with a fascinating range of designs and colours that you won’t find in a paint pot!

  2. Do I need to use a lining paper?
    We would always recommend using a lining paper as it provides a good base for your wall covering, meaning that you get maximum adhesion and a spectacular smooth finish.

  3. Can’t I just paper over my old wallpaper?
    If the existing paper is smooth and flat then it is possible, but we don’t recommend hanging a new wall covering over vinyl or textured papers, as you won’t get a good adhesion. The best finish will always be achieved by removing the unwanted paper first.

  4. Can I paint over wallpaper?
    First you need to check the label to see if the product can be painted over but you should always check a small sample first to see if it will give you the desired result. If so, we recommend a high quality matt emulsion which should be allowed to dry before adding a silk emulsion or satin and gloss paints.

  5. Can I paint over an Expanded White paper?
    Yes you can. See question four for details of painting over wallpaper.

  6. What paste should I use?
    We find that most commercially-produced wallpaper pastes are equally as effective, but we would suggest reading the instructions in detail before you go ahead.

  7. I’d like to paper my bathroom – what kind of wallpaper should I use?
    A vinyl wallpaper would be suitable for use in a bathroom, but please remember that these papers are splash-proof only and although they resist moisture, they are not recommended for any area which comes into direct contact with water, such as around the bath or shower cubicle.

  8. What kind of wallpaper is best to use in my kitchen?
    As with a bathroom, the best paper to use in a kitchen is a vinyl. We don’t recommend papering areas which will be in direct contact with water, as vinyl wallpapers are splash-proof and moisture-resistant only.

  9. What is a vinyl to vinyl adhesive?
    A vinyl to vinyl adhesive is used when hanging a border over a flat wallpaper, or over a paper which has a light texture. Standard wallpaper paste will not allow adhesion to vinyl.

  10. What does cross lining mean?
    In order to get the best professional quality finish, try hanging the lining paper horizontally. The wallpaper will hang more smoothly over cross lining.

  11. What does pattern match mean?
    It is important to make sure that when hanging a patterned wallpaper the pattern matches when the strips are hung side by side. Pattern matches come in three forms: free match, straight match, and off-set match.

  12. What is free match?
    Free match wallpaper is very easy to hang, as the paper does not need to match side by side and can be hung without seams to create a smooth, free pattern, no matter which strips are put together. This means that you will waste less paper too. This is the symbol for free match:

  13. What is a straight match?
    A straight match is when the left and right sides of the strip create a straight, horizontal design when the strips are hung side by side. You can quickly test this to make sure, by laying two strips out together. This is the symbol for a straight match:

  14. What is an off-set match?
    An off-set match is where the strips will only match if the second strip of paper is dropped by the particular distance specified on the label in order to create a match. The symbol for an off-set match is:

  15. What is design repeat?
    Wallpaper designs are printed from cylindrical rollers which means that the design is repeated on each turn of the roller. A design repeat can be as big as the circumference of the whole roller, or the roller can print a smaller repeat in one turn.

  16. What do the other symbols mean?
    You will find other symbols printed on the label. They refer to the direction in which the wallpaper should be hung, cleaning instructions and how to apply the paper.

  17. Can I get a border to match my wallpaper?
    Many of our wallpapers and wallcoverings have coordinating papers and borders. Just click on the sample and you’ll find a selection.

  18. Can I get the same design in different colours?
    Just click on the sample you want to find out what colours the design is in.

  19. How difficult is it to hang wallpaper well?
    It’s easy when you know how! Just follow our simple guide to hanging wallpaper and you’ll find everything you need to know about creating a professional finish all by yourself.

  20. What does ‘paste the wall’ mean?
    Exactly what it says! Instead of pasting the back of the wallcovering, you apply the wallpaper paste directly onto the wall. This makes hanging much easier and less messy, especially for those who haven’t papered before.

  21. I’ve notice that some wallcoverings are ‘spongeable’ while others are ‘scrubbable’. What’s the best way to clean my wallpaper?
    If the directions indicate that the wallcovering is spongeable then you should clean the surface with soapy water and a cloth. Scrubbable wallcoverings can be cleaned with gentle cleaning detergents and a scrubbing brush.
