Today's wall coverings can be easy to remove - just look for Non-Woven wallpapers. These technically advanced wallpaper materials were introduced to the market several years ago. Made of a fibrous material, non-woven wallpapers are easier to install and even easier to remove! They will dry-strip from the wall, usually leaving the wall smooth and abrasion free. Many Non-Wovens are vinyl free making them an environmentally friendly wallpaper option.
What is the difference bewteen prepasted and unpasted wallpaper?
Prepasted wallpapers have an adhesive applied to the backing which is activated with water.
Unpasted wallpapers do not have paste applied to the backing. Most of these can be hung with standard wallpaper pastes available at your nearest paint and wallpaper store unless the instructions give more specific directions.
Some wallpapers are listed as strippable and some are peelable - what does that mean?
Strippable wallpapers can be dry stripped from the wall without leaving any backing behind. These are the most removable papers in the market and are usually printed on a Non-Woven substrate.
Peelable wallpapers will peel off the wall, leaving some of the backing behind. The backing can be often removed with soap and water, but sometimes a wallpaper removal solution may be necessary.
