As trends come and go, wallpaper never went out of style. However, some people may have forgotten how valuable this type of covering can be. Nowadays, as technology allows, manufacturers can develop many styles of wallpapers from the most diverse materials. Today, wallpapers are not used to cover imperfection – but to decorate houses and add sophistication to any ambient.

• Pre-service: one of the main services offered by Level Five Painting, LLC. is wallpaper removal & hanging. If you are wondering how to get wallpaper installed at your project, here is how we handle the process of a wallpaper hanging project.

• When a client calls Level Five Painting, LLC. the first step to being taken care of is to schedule an in-person meeting at the project location.

• The second step of the process is to question what type of wallpaper the client wants to be installed. This is a key question because the type of wallpaper will determine the pricing of installation as well as the quantity of wallpaper to be ordered and the duration the project will take.

• Types of Wallpaper: check them out below:

• Pre-pasted Wallpaper: has the adhesive applied to its back.

• Unpasted Wallpaper: requires adding adhesive to its back to being hung on walls.

• Grasscloth: very commonly used nowadays, this type of material is texturized, with a random pattern and heavy height. It can be made from natural or synthetic fibers. Within this material, perfect seams are not possible. The client must be aware that every project done with grasscloth is different from others because of the uniqueness of this type of material.

• Abstract: this type of wallpaper doesn’t display a repeated pattern. It can be done in a grasscloth or vinyl printed or linen (fabric).

• Illustrated: this type of wallpaper displays repeated patterns. Some of these wallpapers display their repeats horizontally or vertically, within the most diverse distance.

• Murals: murals are the most sophisticated wallpaper that can be handed printed, reproductions of art words, custom landscapes, etc. Those are sold by each panel.

• The third step of the process is to measure the dimensions by analyzing wall by wall that the wallpaper will be installed as well as if the room has doors and windows.

• The fourth key question is to determine if the wallpaper has any repeats in it. It’s extremely important to emphasize that more repeats within a wallpaper it means more waste.

• Wallpaper Installation Process: once the project is approved it’s necessary to prepare walls. The preparation phase of any project is highly important. Nowadays, wallpapers are not created to cover imperfection, it means if your walls are not proper preparation you are wasting money. The preparation includes patching walls to fix any holes and uneven surfaces; sanding, cleaning, and priming walls (with vinyl primer) to finally install the wallpaper.

• Add Value to Your Project: it is important to emphasize that each type of wallpaper has different pricing.
