FAQ

  • What is a pattern match?
    The match means the place where the design matches at the seams. Check the back of your wallpaper for the match information.
  • What are single rolls, double rolls, and bolts?"
    Wallpaper is commonly priced by the single roll, but is usually sold only in double roll or bolt increments (double rolls and bolts are interchangeable). This is because wallpapers are packaged in bolts (double rolls), and therefore they need to be sold in those increments. So if you order 10 single rolls of wallpaper, you can expect to receive 5 bolts when your order arrives.
  • What is the differnce between Paste-The-Wall wallpaper, pre-pasted wallpaper and unpasted wallpaper?"
    Paste-The-Wall is an unpasted wallpaper that you “paste the wall” to hang. In general, we find that paste the wall wallpaper is the easiest to apply. Unpasted wallpapers have no paste applied to the backing so you will need to purchase paste. Unless otherwise noted, we recommend hanging these by “paste the wall” method. Otherwise, you will need to paste and book the paper. Prepasted wallpapers have a cured adhesive applied to the backing, which is activated with water when "booked".
  • What is "Booking"?"
    "Booking" wallpaper is an industry term that refers to the position the wallpaper should rest in while the glue is activated.
