The right adhesive choice depends entirely on the wallpaper material. Each material has its own weight and application requirements. To ensure Nordic Standard quality, familiarize yourself with the main types of wallpaper:
1. Paper-Based Wallpapers
The most classic and eco-friendly type. Being lightweight, they absorb adhesive quickly.
-
Features: Breathable material, but sensitive to moisture.
-
Nordic Recommendation: Nordic Universal (150g).
2. Vinyl Wallpapers
Consists of a polymer layer on a paper or non-woven base. They are highly durable and washable.
-
Features: Heavy material, requiring superior bonding strength.
-
Nordic Recommendation: Nordic Vinyl Indicator (150g / 300g) — provides visual control to ensure heavy vinyl is perfectly secured.
3. Non-woven (Flizelin) Wallpapers
The most popular choice for modern renovations. They don’t tear and are very easy to apply.
-
Features: The adhesive is applied directly to the wall, not the wallpaper.
-
Nordic Recommendation: Nordic Universal (250g / 500g) — for fast and reliable application on large surfaces.
4. Textile & Structured Wallpapers
Luxury wallpapers made of fabric or deep textures.
-
Features: Very heavy and requires special attention during installation.
-
Nordic Recommendation: Nordic Vinyl Indicator (500g) — for maximum strength and a professional finish.
IMPORTANT: Always check the symbols on the wallpaper label. If it indicates that adhesive should be applied to the wall, you are working with a non-woven based product.
