 We carry a range of paste the wall, paste the paper, and prepasted wallpaper products with

different properties and instructions – please refer to the back of the roll label for full hanging

instructions

 Any high quality wallpaper paste/adhesive can be used to hang these products

 Check the batch number on all rolls to ensure that the colors will match exactly when installed

 Vinyl wallpapers are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms because they are more moisture-resistant

and splash-proof than other wallpapers

 Paintables can be left white or painted to match your décor

How to calculate the number of rolls required

1. Measure walls (including doors and windows): height x width to get the square footage.

2. Subtract 21 square feet for each door, 15 square feet for each window.

3. Find the pattern repeat on the wallpaper label. Solids and stripes will not list a repeat, so use 0

as the repeat.

4. Determine the usable yield per roll of wallpaper by consulting the chart below.

Repeat size Usable yield/roll

0 to 6 inches 50 square feet

7 to 12 inches 44 square feet

13 to 18 inches 40 square feet

19 to 23 inches 36 square feet

5. Divide the room square footage by the usable yield to determine the number of rolls

needed for the project.

Alternatively, refer to the chart below to determine how many rolls are required for the project.
