Reasons To Apply Lining Paper
Lining Paper: Lining your walls with lining paper before you hang wallpaper is key to a smooth finish for your walls or ceiling.
Lining paper can help to disguise small imperfections in the surface of walls.
It also add another layer of insulation to your room.
In fact, apply lining paper will prevent wallpaper shrinking when it’s hung on the wall, avoiding gaps between the lengths of paper.
Other than that, lining paper reduce the likelihood of stains and marks on the wall showing through your wallpaper or fresh coat of paint.
It also offer a barrier against penetrating damp and mould.
The best part is, lining paper protect flammable surfaces in the event of a fire (look for ‘class zero’ fire-rated lining papers).

When shopping for lining paper there are a number of things to consider, to get the most suitable type of lining paper for your project.
Key variations in types of lining paper are Grade, Application and Width.
Grade
Lining paper is available in different thicknesses, known as grades.
The grades range from 800 (thinnest) to 2000 (thickest).
The grade you choose will depend on the condition of the walls.
A thin lining or low-grade paper can be used to cover hairline cracks in the wall’s plastering.
If the wall is in a bad condition, a thicker 2000 grade lining paper will be required to help cover pitting and more noticeable plastering imperfections.
If you’re not sure which grade to use, we recommend the 1400 option as it is thick enough to cover imperfections and block staining.
Application
Lining paper range includes standard lining paper that you apply adhesive to, or paste the wall lining paper.
Paste the wall can be easier to hang as you apply the adhesive to the wall rather than the paper, so you don’t have heavy folded paper to hang.
For paste the wall lining paper, we recommend using a paint roller to apply the adhesive to the wall.
For this project we’re using paste the paper lining paper, which means that you apply the adhesive to the lining paper before hanging.
The adhesive required also varies depending on whether you’re hanging paste the paper of paste the wall lining paper.
Width
The width of lining paper can vary between 500 and 1000millimetres (mm).
With wider lining paper you may need to buy fewer rolls, but it could also be more troublesome to hang.
