Preparing the Walls for Wallpaper
Before hanging wallpaper, it is important to prepare your
walls to ensure the success of the project. We recommend
hanging wallpaper on smooth, clean and dry walls that
have been primed.
Make sure the walls are clean of all debris and that the
surface is smooth. Spackle and smooth out any holes or
rough areas on the walls as they may affect the final finish
of your wallpaper. You should also remove all faceplates
and socket covers before beginning, taking care to turn off
power first for safety.
In general, hanging wallpaper over old wallpaper is not a
good idea. Take the time to fill in holes and imperfections
before putting up your new wallpaper. For heavily
textured or damaged walls, hanging a wallpaper liner may
be the key to your success. Heavy duty lining paper is
available in most paint and wallpaper stores. It evens the
wall imperfections, providing a smooth surface for your
wallpaper.
