What is PVC-free wallpaper?

Understanding the Different Wallpaper Types

When choosing the best wallpaper type for your space, there are three different kinds to consider: unpasted wallpaper, prepasted wallpaper, and self-adhesive wallpaper.

Depending on your needs, each wallpaper type has many top features and benefits associated with it.

What is the difference between prepasted and non-pasted wallpaper?

There are key differences between prepasted, nonpasted, and self-adhesive wallpaper. Out of the three, you may find that one is a better option for you. While comparing pasted vs unpasted wallpaper, there are pros and cons to consider.

What is unpasted wallpaper? Unpasted wallpaper is often referred to as nonpasted or traditional wallpaper. Unlike our peel and stick wallpaper, it does not have a self-adhesive backing and requires a wallpaper adhesive to stick to a wall or surface.

The top features of unpasted wallpaper are its high-quality texture, its ability to stick to textured or bumpy surfaces, and its timeless designs. 

What is prepasted wallpaper? Prepasted wallpaper has an adhesive coating on its backing. It requires water to be activated before it can stick to your surface 

The top features of prepasted wallpaper include that its DIY-friendly, mess-free, and durable.

What is self-adhesive wallpaper? Self-adhesive wallpaper, commonly known as peel and stick wallpaper or removable wallpaper, acts like a sticker. It’s self-adhesive backing does not need paste or water to be activated.

The top features of self-adhesive wallpaper are that its moisture-resistant, easy to install, renter-friendly, and removes cleanly without any sticky residue left behind.

Can You Put Non-Pasted Wallpaper on Textured Walls?

Unpasted wallpaper should be applied to smooth surfaces. Typically, we do not recommend applying our wallpaper on textured walls. However, there are a few instances where it might work.

Unpasted wallpaper can be applied to slightly textured walls, no deeper than an orange peel or knockdown texture. If you are dealing with heavily textured walls, we recommend applying a wallpaper liner first.

It is important to thoroughly clean the walls prior to applying the wallpaper to any textured surface. We recommend a microfiber cloth to wipe away any debris.

We always recommend testing any textured surface with a sample first. A sample is the best way to see how well a print will stick to your walls and if it will remove cleanly before you begin your wallpaper project.

If your wall is freshly painted, it is important to wait at least 30 to 60 days before hanging your wallpaper to allow for the paint to fully cure.

Can Non-Pasted Wallpaper be Applied in a Bathroom?

Yes, our unpasted wallpaper can be applied to bathrooms and high-humidity spaces.

Please note that our authentic grasscloth designs cannot be applied in bathrooms and areas with steam and indirect moisture.

It is important to manage bathroom humidity, water, and heat to successfully use wallpaper in a bathroom.

Here are a few tips that you can follow while applying unpasted wallpaper to a bathroom:

• Install a high-velocity exhaust fan or use a dehumidifier in the bathroom.
• Avoid applying the wallpaper near the shower/tub or areas with water.
• Install a backsplash behind the bathroom sink to minimize splashes.
