What Types Of Wallpaper Are There?

  • Woodchip Wallpaper

Woodchips come in three different structures: fine, medium and coarse. The wood fiber structure is firmly bonded together and is now made of three layers of paper. Woodchips can be painted several times and do not have to be replaced during any renovation.

The coarser the structure, the more times the woodchips have to be removed, because the particle size/structure remains visible longer. Woodchips can be removed dry when the surface is pretreated with a corresponding primer. Nowadays, woodchips are available on a non-woven backing. This variant is becoming more and more common because it is easier to handle.

  • Non-woven Wallpaper

Non-woven wallpapers are popular for their easy processing and installation properties and are mainly made of pulp mixed with textile fibers and cured by adhesives. This material is not only dimensionally stable and can effectively cover small cracks in the wall, but most products meet the flame retardant standard of DIN 4102 B1, which increases the safety of use.

A big advantage of non-woven wallpapers is the convenience of direct pasting, you do not need to soak them beforehand, which is particularly important in humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens because they have good water and steam resistance. Furthermore, in newly renovated rooms, these wallpapers can be easily peeled off without leaving residue once the wall is completely dry.

To ensure the best possible adhesion and a solid background, it is recommended that you pre-treat the substrate with a wallpaper primer before application. Light-colored non-woven wallpapers are particularly transparent and may reveal color differences in the underlying layer, so a good primer can help achieve a more uniform and consistent visual effect.

  • Smooth Non-woven Wallpaper

Smooth fabric wallpapers are an ideal wall covering material due to their smooth surface, durability, crack resistance and dimensional stability. Not only can these wallpapers be directly coated with latex paint to add color to the wall, but they are also suitable for surface treatment of wood chip wallpaper or fiberglass wallpaper, providing a flatter and smoother foundation.

In recent years, smooth wool materials have gradually replaced traditional wood chip structures and have become increasingly popular among consumers because of their almost unlimited design flexibility and ability to meet diverse decorative needs. Wall stickers on smooth wool are also easier to stick and last longer than on rough wood chip surfaces; in contrast, wood chips may cause wall stickers to fall off after a period of time due to their rough texture.

It is worth noting that in order to ensure the best effect of smooth wallpaper, the substrate must be smooth and flawless. Any unevenness will show through the wallpaper, affecting the final visual effect. Similar to non-woven wallpaper, smooth flannel wallpaper can also be directly pasted without soaking. Its bonding technology is also similar to non-woven wallpaper, which simplifies the installation process and improves construction efficiency.

  • Paper Wallcovering

Paper wallpaper covers a variety of types, including traditional styles such as crepe paper, embossed paper and printed paper, while murals are usually made of recycled paper with multi-color printing. The quality of this type of wallpaper is distinguished by its weight per unit area (grams):

Thin paper wallpaper: 110g/m²

Medium-thick wallpaper: 110-140g/m²

Heavy wallpaper: 140g/m² or more

For paper murals, soaking for 3 to 5 minutes to soften the material when pasting, but it should not exceed this time limit to avoid damaging the relief texture on the wallpaper surface.

Paper wallpapers are ideal for children's rooms due to their high breathability and moisture resistance, as well as their environmental protection characteristics. They do not contain any harmful substances, ensuring the safety of indoor air quality. In addition, double-layer paper wallpapers - also known as double-sided wallpapers - stand out for their superior quality and durability, providing a more durable option for wall decoration.

These materials are not limited to the above-mentioned ones, each of which brings a unique texture and visual enjoyment, and many natural material wallpapers still maintain the tradition of handmade.

Due to the different growing environments of the raw materials and the different production processes, each roll and each piece of natural material wallpaper is a unique work of art. This type of wallpaper was popular in the 1980s and is now popular again. By combining the beauty of nature with the soul of craftsmanship, natural material wallpaper provides an environmentally friendly and artistic choice for modern homes and commercial spaces.
