Wallcoverings

Tips from Real-Estate-Agents.com

Very few modern wallpapers are actually made of paper. Today's wallcoverings may be made of vinyl, vinyl-coated paper or cloth, textiles, natural grasses, foil or mylar. Vinyl and coated vinyl wallcoverings are popular because they're easy to clean or repair; but other types such as grasscloth and flocked wallpaper require special handling.

Loosened seams and bubbles are common wallcovering problems as well as scratches, tears or stains.

Whatever the repair needed, it's a good idea to have remnants on hand for repairs. It's also a good idea to record the name of the manufacturer as well as the style of the wallcovering.
