Wallpapering – Projects and Qualified Teams

Wallpapering covers proper application of wall coverings on interior walls: non-woven and paper wallpapers, textured wallpapers, vinyl and foam wallpapers, fibreglass wallpapers as a substrate before painting, fabric wallpapers, photo murals, and design-oriented large-format wall prints. Unlike painting, the substrate matters even more for wallpaper: even small irregularities show through thin papers. Non-woven wallpapers have become the standard in recent years (paste-the-wall, easier to handle). Example Germany: VOB/C DIN 18366 'Wallpapering and adhesive work' applies to workmanship. Substrate preparation, adhesive choice, and working temperature (≥ 18 °C) determine the result.
