Product Information
Full details
This Anaglypta Wallpaper (RD177) is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to add subtle texture and a paintable surface to their walls. Its key benefit is the ability to create a custom look by painting over the embossed bark effect. A potential caveat is the need for careful pattern matching due to its random repeat design. Key features include its embossed duplex construction for durability, a white base ready for personalization, and a stipple effect that conceals minor wall imperfections.

FAQs
Do I need to paint this wallpaper?
Yes, this wallpaper is designed to be painted. It comes in white and the paint finish will determine the final look and texture appearance.
What kind of paint should I use?
Most interior emulsion paints are suitable. A primer is recommended before applying the topcoat for best results. Matte or silk finishes are generally recommended for textured wallpapers.
How do I clean the wallpaper after painting?
Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the texture and finish.
What is a random pattern match?
A random pattern match means that each wallpaper strip can be hung next to any other strip without needing to align a specific design element. This simplifies the hanging process and reduces waste.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
It is not ideal for high-moisture environments like bathrooms without significant precautions. Ensure good ventilation and consider a waterproof sealant if using in a splash zone.
How do I prepare my walls before hanging?
Walls should be clean, dry, and sound. Remove any old wallpaper, loose paint, or debris. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth.
What tools do I need to hang this wallpaper?
You will need wallpaper paste, a pasting brush or roller, a sharp knife or scissors, a smoothing brush or roller, a tape measure, and a spirit level.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall
Ensure the correct type and amount of wallpaper paste has been used. Check that the wall surface is properly prepared and free from dust or grease. Allow adequate paste soaking time if required by the paste manufacturer.
Air bubbles or creases are visible
Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to gently push air bubbles towards the nearest edge. For stubborn creases, you may need to lift the strip slightly and reapply, smoothing carefully.
Pattern doesn't align correctly
This wallpaper has a random pattern match, meaning strips do not need to align precisely. Focus on butting the edges together cleanly. If a specific alignment issue arises, check if the strip was hung straight.
Paint finish looks uneven
Ensure an even coat of paint is applied. For textured wallpapers, a roller with a suitable nap length often provides better coverage than a brush. Apply a primer before the topcoat for a more uniform finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare your walls by ensuring they are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or wallpaper.
- Cut the wallpaper strips to the required length, allowing for a slight overlap at the top and bottom.
- Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strips or directly to the wall, following the paste manufacturer's instructions.
- Hang the strips, aligning them carefully. Due to the random pattern match, simply butt the edges together.
- Smooth out air bubbles and excess paste using a wallpaper brush or smoother.
Compatibility:
This wallpaper is designed for interior walls. It is compatible with most standard wallpaper pastes. Ensure the wall surface is suitable for wallpaper adhesion. Not recommended for use in high-humidity areas like bathrooms without appropriate sealing and ventilation.
Care:
Once painted, the wallpaper can be cleaned gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which could damage the embossed texture or underlying paper.
