What is wall liner?

It is ideal for:
Damaged walls with significant imperfections
Uneven surfaces and peeling areas
Preparing walls for applying wallpaper
Improving durability and insulation

How to hang lining paper
When hanging lining paper, it is vital to give it your full attention and respect. Even better, use a trusted company to ensure it is done properly.
For best results, lining paper should be applied carefully and evenly.
Preparation
Before starting:
Fill cracks and seal damp areas
Remove loose or peeling materials
Ensure the wall surface is smooth and clean
If you do not prepare the surface correctly, the chances are that the wall liner will not stick effectively, meaning you'll need to start again. So, check for hairline cracks or uneven sections of your walls before you reach for the lining paper.
Applying adhesive
Before you start to apply the adhesive to your lining paper, make sure to check with the manufacturer regarding their instructions. During the process, some products have been noted to require soaking before hanging, so always check the manufacturer's instructions.
Hanging the paper
You can hang lining paper vertically or use cross lining, where the paper is hung horizontally for added strength and smoother results. This is usually a personal preference factor rather than a you must do it this way kind of requirement.
Once completed, make sure to trim excess paper at edges, corners, windows, and the ceiling using scissors or a sharp blade.
Drying time
Allow the lining paper to become fully dry before wallpapering or painting. This helps avoid bubbles, shrinkage issues, and visible seams. By giving the wall liner enough time to dry, you create a more flawless finish.
Choosing the right thickness
Lining paper comes in a range of thickness options. Thicker paper is better for walls with more imperfections, while thinner products are suitable for smoother surfaces.
The right choice will vary depending on the condition of the wall and the final finish you want to achieve.
Why use a wall liner?
A wall liner is an easy and affordable way to improve the appearance of a room and give it a more professional finish.
Whether you are redecorating one room or completing a larger project, lining paper is a reliable solution for achieving high-quality results. It really does provide you with a foundation to create a room full of decorations and colours.
