Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper preparation is the most critical stage for working with 1700 Grade paper. Before application, ensure your wall is dry, clean, and free from loose debris. While the paper is robust, it must be soaked according to the manufacturer's 'soaking time' to ensure the paper expands before it is hung; failing to allow for expansion will result in bubbles or lifting seams. Compatibility-wise, this paper works exceptionally well with standard water-based emulsions and high-quality pastes. For care, once applied and dry, it can be maintained like any standard wall surface; avoid excessive moisture during cleaning, and always use high-quality primers if you intend to hang heavy, textured wallpaper over the lining paper.
