Preparation

Preparing your walls is an important part of the wallpapering process. In addition to carefully cleaning your walls, we check the surface for absorbency, firmness and dampness. All imperfections are removed or repaired before papering begins so the paper will adhere properly and lie flat against the wall.

Application

Hanging wallpaper correctly is part art, part science, and requires a methodical approach to ensure the proper result. Our trained and experienced wallpaper hangers will make sure the paper is cut and hung straight with tight, nearly invisible seams and properly matched patterns. The process includes using the right kind of paste for the specific paper, and booking the wallpaper to avoid the shrinkage that causes gaps in the seams.

Wallpaper Removal

Whether you are choosing to replace your current wallpaper with a fresh pattern or are opting to paint your walls, removing old wallpaper properly is an important step that will affect the outcome. At Catchlight, we know the particulars of removing older wallpaper applied to antique walls as well as coated wallpaper in a newer home, each requiring a very different process if the walls are to be left in optimal condition for the new paper or paint.

The number of wallpaper design options available is almost limitless: formal or casual, bold or textured, hand painted or luxurious fabrics.
