Before you order, check two things.

1. Your paint. Peel and stick wallpaper — fabric or vinyl — is not compatible with Sherwin Williams ProMar 400 Zero VOC paints, or any paint marketed as Stain-Resistant, Anti-Stain, or Anti-microbial, unless you first prime the wall with Roman Pro-935 R-35 Primer.

2. How recently you painted. If the wall has been painted recently, wait 30 days before installing. Fresh paint needs to fully cure and finish outgassing — installing sooner risks adhesion problems.

Around 99% of peel-and-stick failures come down to wall texture or paint incompatibility, and because everything is made to order we can't accept returns for wall incompatibility. If you're unsure, send us a photo first.

Common questions
What's the difference in finish between vinyl and fabric?
Fabric Peel & Stick is matte, over a very fine micro-weave. Vinyl Peel & Stick is smooth, with a slightly satin sheen. Both are durable and easy to clean.
Which material should I choose if I'm renting?
Fabric Peel & Stick. It removes without damaging paint, so you can put the wall back as you found it.
Which peel and stick material has the stronger adhesive?
Vinyl Peel & Stick — it has the higher tack of the two peel and stick materials. We recommend using it with the E-Z Hang Peel & Stick Helper. Unpasted Traditional isn't part of that comparison: it has no adhesive of its own, so how firmly it holds depends entirely on the paste your installer uses.
Will it work on a textured wall?
Unpasted Traditional suits slightly textured walls. For peel and stick, the more texture a wall has, the less surface area the adhesive can grip. While our vinyl peel and stick will adhere to moderately textured walls, heavily textured or bumpy walls may need skim-coating first. If you're unsure about your wall, send us a photo through chat or email [email protected] and we'll check before you order.
Which paints are not compatible?
Sherwin Williams ProMar 400 Zero VOC, and any paint marketed as Stain-Resistant, Anti-Stain or Anti-microbial. You can still use these walls if you first prime with Roman Pro-935 R-35 Primer.
I just painted — how long should I wait before installing?
Wait 30 days. Fresh paint needs to fully cure and finish outgassing before wallpaper goes on. Installing sooner is one of the most common causes of adhesion failure.
Are these fire rated? Are they Prop 65 compliant?
Yes to both. All three materials are Class A fire rated and Prop 65 compliant. Fabric Peel & Stick can also indirectly support LEED v4 credits through its material composition and environmental profile.
Can I use wallpaper in a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes. All three materials handle bathroom and kitchen humidity, and all are water resistant — they can be wiped down with water and a damp cloth. Test any chemical cleaner in an inconspicuous spot first.
Is wallpaper paste included with unpasted wallpaper?
No. Unpasted Traditional needs heavy-weight wallpaper paste, supplied separately.

Previous Order Matching:
Because all of our items are made to order, we cannot guarantee an exact color match of the same item from orders of different dates. This is because we go through many rolls of material each day and over time, roll lots can vary ever so slightly. Please be sure to order the correct quantity. It is always a good idea to over estimate 1 extra roll per project. Please contact us if you need help in calculating the correct quantities for your project.
