Types of Peel & Stick Wallpaper
Self-adhesive wallpaper requires far less time and effort to apply than traditional wallpaper. It’s available in different formats for every project, big and small.
Buying Considerations
Peel & stick wallpaper is a low-commitment way to update your space. It’s great for rental apartments and dorm rooms, where painting may not be allowed. When applied correctly, it’s easy to apply, and removing it won’t damage your walls. Keep these considerations in mind.
Wall Texture | Peel & stick wallpaper must be applied to a smooth, clean surface. It won’t adhere properly to textured walls, brick, cinder block, unpainted drywall, sheetrock, plaster or non-stick paint |
Wall Surface | To ensure easy, damage-free removal, temporary wallpaper must be applied to appropriate paint surfaces. Eggshell, satin and semi-gloss paint are fine. Do not install over matte or flat paint, wallpaper or fresh paint (wait 30 days before installing). |
Installation Location | Peel & stick wallpaper’s durability may be compromised by constant heat and steam. While laundry rooms and powder rooms are fine, it may not last as long in busy bathrooms or above baseboard heaters or radiators. |
