Product Information
Full details
The Grandeco Alba Plaster Plain Textured Wallpaper in Cream is ideal for homeowners seeking an industrial aesthetic without the need for actual masonry work. Its primary benefit lies in its heavy-duty raised structure, which excels at masking surface imperfections on uneven walls, though users should note that the deep texture requires careful application to avoid tearing or pattern misalignment during installation.

FAQs
Does this wallpaper work on damaged walls?
Yes, the raised structure of the Alba Plaster collection is specifically designed to bridge and cover minor cracks and surface irregularities.
What kind of paste should I use?
A standard, high-quality professional wallpaper paste is recommended, preferably one suitable for heavyweight textured wallcoverings.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
While it is designed with a specific cream tone, it is a textured vinyl-style surface that is not primarily intended for overpainting.
Is this wallpaper washable?
The textured surface is durable, but should be wiped gently with a damp cloth rather than scrubbed, as harsh scrubbing can damage the relief effect.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the height and width of your walls, calculate the total square footage, and add 10-15% extra to account for pattern matching and trim waste.
Troubleshooting
Visible seams between wallpaper strips
Use a seam roller gently to press the edges together while the paste is still wet, ensuring you do not flatten the texture.
Air bubbles appearing after drying
Prick the bubble with a fine needle to release air and inject a small amount of wallpaper adhesive using a syringe, then smooth it flat.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Creates a sophisticated, industrial-chic atmosphere
- Warm cream tones provide a versatile backdrop for decor
- Professional-grade raised structure
Cons
- Textured surface may be harder to clean than flat wallpaper
- Requires professional adhesive application for best results
- Can be difficult to remove if applied with high-strength paste
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and primed with a standard wallpaper primer to ensure proper adhesion. Because of the raised texture, use a soft-bristled wallpaper brush to avoid crushing the pattern while smoothing. For maintenance, avoid harsh chemicals; a light dusting or a damp microfiber cloth is sufficient to keep the surface clean. If you are covering an entire room, ensure all rolls have the same batch number to maintain consistency in the cream tone.
