Product Information

Depending on the state of your walls, lining paper is an important or even essential step in the renovation process. But like any home improvement product, it comes with a range of questions. How does it work? What benefits does it have? What are the different types? Newly hung lining paper should be left for at least 24 hours to make sure that it has dried out properly before any paint is applied. If the room is cold then you want to leave it for at least 48 hours. Or, introduce a gentle ambient heat to help speed up the drying process. This post will explain what grade lining paper you should choose for your project. From barely-there to heavy-duty, we’ll guide you through the difference between the grades so that you can cover your wall with confidence. Why should you use lining paper? If you don't know which grade is best, choose the middle ground. Lining papers with a 1400 grade are usually sufficient to hide daily wear. 3. Preventing stains

Lining paper is a great choice if your walls are in good condition but are painted in a dark colour. For example, if you have dark brown walls and want to cover them with a white or light coloured paint you can forget about prepping (to a certain degree) the walls and you won’t have to apply specialist or extra coats of paint to ensure good coverage. The thinner the paper the shorter the soak time for wallpaper paste. In the case of 800-1000 grades, leave for eight to 10 minutes before applying the lining paper. 2. 1200-1400 grade lining paper

We've just moved into a new flat - built around 1900 and with lime plaster walls. They're largely okay, but there are lots of small defects across them. Mainly scraper gouges etc. We're on a tight budget so trying to repair them ourselves, but we're totally new to it all. As well as the grades of lining paper, it can vary be the different types and specialists products… Paste-the-wall lining paper There's no need to worry about paint seeping into the walls when you use lining paper. It's suitable for all emulsion paints, but matte emulsions work particularly well because they're better at hiding minor imperfections. 5. Minimising wallpaper shrinkage

Conventional lining paper has been used by decorators for years, in many cases with great results. That said, the clear advantages of paste-the-wall lining paper can’t be denied.You (or your clients) will be looking at your walls every day, so any texture or faults will be difficult to ignore. This is even more annoying if you’ve spent a lot of money on your wallpaper. Lining paper is the best way to achieve a flawless finish that will boost the appearance – and longevity – of your DIY. What are the different grades of lining paper? I've seen DIY'ers and a few decorators (wrongly) sponging seams, which will a) potentially weaken the area and b) cause a butt joined seam to expand unnecessarily. This can lead to a seam showing through a thin finish paper or emulsion (it has expanded into an overlapped seam), hence the 1mm gap. It also speeds up the cross-lining process slightly. Incidentally, most decent pulp liners have a smooth and a rough side to them. Smooth side out for paint, rough side out for papering (suction from a rougher, more absorbent surface) helps laminate the top paper over the liner, but getting a bit off topic now. Divide the total from Step 6 by the length of the roll (L) and round up to give you the total number of rolls required (TR). I've had good results so far by using Easifill on the marks. It goes on easily and is easy to sand to a really smooth finish. It's so good, in fact, that I'm considering using it across the whole walls. Would this be an option? Already tried a few slightly larger areas and looks good... Just a really (really) thin layer all across to fill all of the holes and get a smooth final result. Obviously skimming would be preferable, but the flat's 125m2, the budget's tight - and so far, this looks like it might work... Or really bad idea?
