Non-woven wallpaper is the perfect choice for do-it-yourself homeowners. The non-woven material is a blend of synthetic and natural fibers, which allows the paper to maintain its shape when wet. Unlike traditional wallpaper, which must be pasted and backed before application, non-woven wallpaper can be pasted onto the wall. Simply apply the paste to the wall, hang and trim. There is no need to set up a large and bulky gluing table.

Wall preparation
Before you begin installing non-woven wallpaper, make sure your walls are properly prepared. A primed wall surface will help with the initial installation of the wallpaper, as well as its removal in the future. For walls painted with latex paint, a white, water-based wallpaper primer is ideal, as it dries to a matte, hard surface. This will create a durable surface that is ideal for new wallpaper. The primer also provides increased «slip» to help move and position the wallpaper during installation. When it’s time to do some cosmetic work, the primer will allow you to remove the wallpaper more easily and with less damage to the walls.
Choosing glue
Choosing the right wallpaper adhesive will ensure a smooth installation of non-woven wallpaper. In their instructions for applying non-woven wallpaper, many manufacturers recommend using either a heavy-duty clear wallpaper adhesive or a pre-mixed vinyl adhesive.
Both adhesives are easy to use, provide excellent tack, good glide when positioning, and are easily washed off with water. However, if you need more help choosing an adhesive for your project, don't hesitate to contact the experts.
Assembling
Make sure the walls are clean and free of dirt or grease that could affect adhesion. Take a moment to map out the room and plan your installation. This will help you determine where to start your installation. When hanging, work your way around the room one section at a time. Pre-applied adhesive may dry before you can apply the wallpaper. Be sure to check the manufacturer's hanging instructions for specific installation information.
Installation tips:
• Use a 3/8-inch nap paint roller to evenly apply the adhesive to the wall.
• Apply extra glue to seams or corners that are difficult to smooth.
• Be sure to remove excess paste while it is still wet. Dried glue may require more effort to clean.
Withdrawal
Once installed and completely dry, non-woven wallpaper can be removed in whole sheets. Damage to the wall can be minimized or eliminated by using a quality wallpaper primer during installation.
