Yes, but the wall must be matted down and made non-absorbent.
Is priming the wall required before applying the covering?
Yes, before applying the covering the wall must be primed and made non-absorbent.
“Butt joint” or “overlap” installation?
Depending on the type of wallpaper, the necessary information can be found in our installation instructions: link TIP Where coverings join, we recommend lightly painting the wall in a colour close to that of the covering.
Is a special knife needed to cut the covering?
Definitely yes, a sharp knife is required, especially for coverings heavier than 500 g.
Can wallpaper be applied over tiles?
We do not recommend this solution.
How should the substrate be prepared for wallpapering after removing tiles?
As with any other wall, the substrate should be dry, clean, dust-free, perfectly smooth and strong. The wall surface must not crumble. For crumbling substrates, remove the unstable parts and fill the gaps with a hard filler. The room temperature should not be lower than 10ºC.
