Helpful Tips

Ordering
Always try and order the correct quantity
. If in doubt order one more roll than you think you need. If you have to order an extra roll it could be out of stock, or may have to come from a different dye batch.

Preparation
Follow the manufacturer's instructions, and always line the walls horizontally with high grade lining paper.

Hanging
Use the correct paste. Some manufacturers recommend using their own brand, and this can avoid potential problems. Certain papers should be hung switching top and bottom on alternate widths. This prevents the joins from becoming too obvious. Again, follow the instructions.
