How is wallpapering done?

Wallpapering is a job that requires precision to achieve a beautiful end result. It also requires you to have the right kind of tools and products.

Preparatory work for wallpapering

Before you start wallpapering, you should make sure that the surface is clean and even. Make sure you have the right wallpaper paste for the wallpaper and that you have the tools you need. To work more efficiently, you should first cut a few strips of wallpaper. Another hot tip is to start by drawing a vertical line on the wall, from floor to ceiling, so that you can use that as a starting point when you put up the first strip. It is very important that the first strip is completely straight to ensure that the remaining strips are also straight.

How to wallpaper

Once your preparatory work is done and it’s time to apply the wallpaper to the wall, start by applying the wallpaper paste with a brush, roller, or pasting machine. Don’t be stingy with the paste.

Now it’s time to apply the wallpaper. Make sure to apply the wallpaper so that it is straight, and seam-to-seam with the adjacent wallpaper strip. You can always adjust the wallpaper a little before the adhesive has dried completely.

When the strip of wallpaper is neat and straight, you should use a rubber trowel or multi-scraper to smooth out the wallpaper, even out any lumps of paste, and squeeze out air bubbles.

Then allow the wallpaper or wallcovering to dry thoroughly before painting on it.
