A Guide to Wallpaper Adhesives
Wallpaper paste and trade adhesives differ depending on which paper type you are working with and the surface you are working on. When considering what adhesive to use, it's important to consider whether your decorations are forever or whether you or the next tenant/owner will want to decorate again in the future.
The recommended strength depends on your timescale and the consistency of the paper. Printed or textured wallpaper will require a specific strength of adhesive. Instructions such as these are often provided with the product and should be followed where possible.
Additionally, if you are papering a newly plastered wall you will need to prep it first. Sealers or primers will prep the new plaster, to ensure that it does not soak up the adhesive. This priming layer will make papering easier and the bond stronger. You can find primers and sealers in our trade paint section. Here is a guide to our best selling adhesives:
