Brewster Home Fashions148-32832 Strati Stria Wallpaper, Paintable , White

I’m not the guy that says he’s an expert, I’m pretty new to wallpaper but I’m a quick learner. A couple of things I’ve learnt the hard way however is buy more than you think you need, and get wallpaper paste, the paste on this will almost definitely let you down, especially around the edges. Bubbles are the big fear with wallpaper but one of the major things I’ve discovered is you’ll get zero bubbles if the paper is aligned at the top and pasted on the wall exactly how it drops. The problem with sliding it too much sideways is the paper at the top is falling straight, but as it goes down the sliding is putting it out of alignment making small areas unable to lay flat. I adapted it from how you avoid bubbles when putting a protective glass screen on your mobile device it’s the same principle.

I used this wallpaper in my kitchen where I had "problem" walls. I wanted to cover up damage to the wall until we are able to do a remodel and replace the walls. After hanging and painting this wall paper I don't need to replace the walls. It looks amazing, you can't even see the seams. It was easy to hang, I had no problems with it tearing, but I can see how it will tear if you are not careful. I didn't stress about the air bubbles you see when it is drying because they seem dissipate after it dried and it took about 2 days to dry. Some of the bubbles you see might be glue bubbles but they were also all gone when the wall paper dried. I waited about 3 days before painting it and used a paint and primer in one and applied two coats.I highly recommend this product.

Finding a pre-pasted textured white vinyl paper was a blessing. The task at hand was to cover up a butcher job done by persons unknown for the previous owner. Different wallboards, poor fininshing, and no way to get a clean surface to paint. This was needed in a corridor where paneling had been damaged and partly removed in the past but the task not completed. Two walls with doorways needed repair, the third was the original paneling, freshly painted over and looking good. The weave texture was ideal as, once painted, it blended in quite nicely. The adhesive activated quickly and was slick enough to accommodate adjusting. It smoothed without a problem. Interesingly, the paper, while still wet, appeared to have both gold and dark blue streaks appear, which disappeared once the paper was dry. Painting was not easy, not difficult. A rough surface small roller did not perform as well as a natural bristle paint brush. Areas which I attempted to roll had to be recoated by brush. The outcome of the project was a good as could ever be expected.So, you wonder why I didn't give the product 5 stars, considering I have written all positives about it? The paper was impossible to cut cleanly while wet. Fresh blades didn't help. I found myself wishing for an oldfashioned single razor blade and holder, thinking that a longer cutting surface might be better, but neither was on hand to use. Horizontal cuts over trim boards, etc., were not the issue. Cutting 7 ft down an inside corner was the disaster, The paper tore horribly and I had to replace the applied sheet and wait until the next day for it to dry to be able to cut the paper cleanly. If I were working in a room with 4 inside corners and could not successfully wrap three of the four corners, I would have been up the creek having to do one wall per day for 4 days for an otherwise straightforward job.For the price, I guess I should not complain. I made it work in the long run. I do recommend this paper for a small coverup job but would likely have searched for a pricier likely not pre-pasted option for a larger job or a whole room.

The media could not be loaded. Half of the roll did not have glue . So I had to order another roll so I could redo the half that is bad.

Not a bad paintable wallpaper but be careful it is thin. I didn’t soak it as directed, instead I sprayed water on it, than brushed on wallpaper paste. I also pasted the wall. I had no problem with it. I was a little concerned that that after painting it the color wouldn’t match up with the unpainted walls. My other walls were also white so I assume it ma be different on different colored areas( I repainted it green). It matched up fine. I also had to go over it twice but that was only because of the grain of the paper. I am very satisfied

THIS PRODUCT WAS VERY INFERIOR TO MY EXPECTIONS. THE VERY FIRST PIECE SPLIT HALF INTO AS IT UNFOLDED TO GO ON WALL. OTHER PIECES RIPPED ON CORNERS, EDGES AND SEAMS PULLED APART AS THE PAPER DRIED ON WALLS. FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS ON THE ROLL OF PAPER. HAD TO REGLUE ALL SEAMSAFTER DRYING, STARTED PAINTING AND IS STARTTED PULLING OFF WALL. WALL PAPER HAD BEEN ON THEWALL 3 WEEKS BEFORE PAINTING, SO IT WAS FULLY DRIED.

This paper was just what I needed to get the change I wanted. I live in an older manufactured home(trailer) & was tired of the paneled walls. They had been painted but still.... I pulled off the protruding strips, did a half- hearted job filling cracks & trusted the paper to cover the defects. The paste was good. The pieces adhered well & dried nicely. I cut them to fit ahead of time so had very little trimming to do. I read in other reviews that the paper is "delicate". Yes, it is WET PAPER. I was able to apply it with two slight tears but pushed the edges together and my mishaps were unnoticeable when it dried. The wall is now painted & indistinguishable from the sheetrock wall in the same room. Success!

I had this professionally hung. My wallpaperer preferred to use paste even though it is pre-pasted. Worked perfectly, looks great and he says its a quality product.
