Hang Embossed Wallcovering | |
It's not a first-time paper-hanging project because the material is heavy to cut through and you have to be very careful handling it so you don't flatten the embossment. For someone with experience hanging wallpaper, it's a doable job. A paper hanger will hang five rolls or about 200 square feet of Anaglypta wallpaper for $445. You can buy the wallpaper, primer and paste for $230, saving 48 percent. The surface of the walls must be clean and dry and primed with a coat of water-based primer/sealer for wallcoverings. A clay-based vinyl wallcovering paste is the adhesive. You'll need these standard wallpaper tools: paste brush or paint roller, smoothing brush, straight edge, razor knife, plumb line, measuring tape, level and ladder. For best results, hire a pro to hang the paper and you finish it with two coats of low-luster or semi-gloss latex paint. Tip: To seal the corners, use a siliconized latex caulk before painting. |
