Every type of wallpaper has its own weight, texture, and absorbency. Choosing the wrong adhesive can lead to peeling, open seams, or unsightly stains. At Nordic Professional Solutions, we’ve created this guide to help you make the right choice for a flawless finish.
1. Identify Your Wallpaper Type
-
Paper-based: Standard, fast-absorbing adhesives are sufficient for classic, lightweight paper wallpapers.
-
Vinyl: These wallpapers are heavier and denser. They require a formula with superior bonding strength (adhesion).
-
Non-woven (Flizelin): The most popular choice in modern renovations. For these, the adhesive is applied directly to the wall, not the wallpaper.
2. Choosing Between Nordic Product Lines
-
Nordic Universal Series (Blue Pack): The ideal “all-rounder” for projects using various wallpaper types. It delivers excellent results for paper, light vinyl, and non-woven materials. Available in 150g, 250g, and 500g sizes to suit any project scale.
-
Nordic Vinyl Indicator Series (Purple Pack): Specifically designed for heavy-textured and high-end vinyl wallpapers. Thanks to the pink indicator technology, you can visually track the application to ensure no spots are missed. It dries crystal clear, offering professional-grade control.
3. Selecting the Right Weight for the Job
-
Small rooms (4-5 rolls): 150g packs.
-
Medium-sized areas (8-10 rolls): 250g or 300g packs.
-
Large projects (15-17 rolls): 500g industrial-sized packs.
NORDIC PROFESSIONAL TIP: If your wallpaper has a non-woven backing, apply the adhesive to the wall. For paper-backed wallpapers, apply the adhesive to the paper itself and let it soak for a few minutes before hanging.
