Primer & Adhesive Recommendations

There are many products on the market today which suit our wallpaper. However below is a list of the products we strongly recommend and why they are needed.

Primer

A good quality wall primer is strongly advised for protection of the intended wall. It will assist in the following…

Installation: to help with sliding abilities during installation. This occurs when you paste the adhesive onto the wall then place your wallpaper on top, you will need to gently slide the wallpaper panel to the correct position.

Removal: will help ensure that the gyprock wont stick to the adhesive and rip off the wall when removing the wallpaper.

Mould & Mildew: help prevent mould and mildew from growing behind your wallpaper.

Our recommended primer product containing the above properties:

• Shieldz® Universal Wallcovering Primer which can be found at Paint World and also at multiple stores using this store locator. It is also available online from Wallpaper Brokers. (4L of ‘Shieldz® Universal Wallcovering Primer’ will do a double coat covering a wall up to 12m2).

Adhesive

You will also need quality paste-the-wall wallpaper adhesive suitable for heavy type 2 vinyl wallpaper. It will need to assist in the following…

Installation: quality adhesive will not clump leaving lumps under your wallpaper. It will also be strong enough to hold heavy duty vinyl wallpaper up and prevent edge curling over time.

Removable: quality ‘strippable’ adhesive that will help ensure that the gyprock wont stick to the adhesive and rip off the wall when removing the wallpaper.

Mould & Mildew: help prevent mould and mildew from growing behind your wallpaper.

Our recommended adhesive product containing the above properties:

• Roman pro-880 Ultra Clear Strippable Wallpaper Adhesive available from Paint Place and online from Wallpaper Brokers. (3.78L will cover wall up to 30m2).

Handy Tip: Wallpaper adhesive in powder form requires you to mix with water which can result in lumpy glue if you are not slow and careful. Wallpaper adhesive already in liquid form is easier to work with.
