TRADITIONAL PRE-PASTE VERSUS PEEL & STICK WALLPAPER:

Choosing the right material for your project

The term “pre-pasted” refers to wallpaper that already has an adhesive applied to its back. This does not mean that it is the backing; just that an additional layer has been added to to the backing to simplify the application process. Think of the pre-pasted wallcovering like a stamp; it requires water to activate the adhesive. The pre-pasted wallcovering is most closely related to that of traditional wallpaper.

The “peel & stick” wallcovering is great for apartment dwellers or those desiring a non-permanent installation. As long as the wall is cleaned before installation, this material may be moved and re-used numerous times. While the peel & stick wallcovering does have a temporary appeal, it is nothing less than durable as it is made with a high-quality synthetic poly-blend vinyl.

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS:

All of our wallpaper can also be fully customized for an additional charge. This includes resizing the pattern or custom coloring.

ARE THE ROLLS PRE-TRIMMED?

Yes, all wallpaper patterns using pre-paste rolls are pre-trimmed for butt seams. Unlike the pre-paste wallpaper, all of our temporary wallpapers are produced with a 2" overlap for double-cut seams. You'll only need to trim the excess of the length and around windows & doors.

HOW DO I MATCH THE PATTERN REPEATS?

All of our patterns are designed with a straight match. In trying to keep ordering and installation as simple as possible, straight matches offer the least complicated solution. The rolls easily tile along the wall.

HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH WALLPAPER TO ORDER?

Finding the area of your walls is similar to finding the area of your floor. To calculate the area of a wall, use the standard formula of (Length) x (Width) = Area. Measure the width of each wall that you wish to install Mirth Studio wallpaper on and add them together to get a total width. Then multiply the total width by the height of your room. Divide this number by 144 to get the square footage needed to cover the walls. When taking your measurements please assume that doors and windows are not there. Mirth Studio wallpaper is sold in rolls of 20 square feet.
