Many people opt for painting rather than wallpapering , because they think that sticking wallpaper is much more work. This is mainly because these people have never wallpapered themselves. In this blog we explain why you should wallpaper and how you should approach this.
The benefits of pasting wallpaper
With wallpaper you can show your own style in your interior much better than if you paint your wall. It makes the space speak more. For example, are you crazy about nature? Then you choose a beautiful photo wallpaper of a beautiful landscape. Besides that sticking wallpaper does more for your interior, it is also cheaper than painting your wall. But while paint may seem cheaper at first, it's actually wallpaper. Wallpaper lasts longer. Our non-woven photo wallpaper is waterproof and UV resistant.

Get started with wallpaper paste
- Before you start, the wall on which you are going to stick wallpaper must first be as smooth as possible. Non- woven wallpaper can camouflage small irregularities, but holes and the like must be made first.
- Untreated walls, such as a freshly plastered wall, must first be prepared with a primer
- Ensure a constant room temperature that is not too warm, so that the wallpaper glue does not dry too quickly.
- For the best result, it is important that the first strip is glued straight to the wall. Therefore, in preparation for pasting wallpaper , draw a plumb line on the wall with a pencil using a spirit level.
When pasting non- woven wallpaper , apply the glue to the surface (just slightly wider than the strip width of the wallpaper). Then you apply the first wallpaper strip. You have to stick this as straight as possible. For a smooth result, iron the wallpaper with a dry brush or cloth. Always iron the wallpaper from the center to the edge. Place the next lane tightly against the previously placed lane. And so on. Cut away any unnecessary wallpaper with a box cutter. If you make a mistake, you can still remove the non-woven wallpaper. Do this before the glue has dried. Glue stains can be removed with a slightly damp cloth or sponge.
