Linerpapers

Linerpapers are a type of wallpaper designed specifically for use as a base layer beneath more decorative wall coverings. Their primary function is to provide a smooth and uniform surface for the final wallpaper to adhere to, concealing minor imperfections in the underlying wall such as small cracks, unevenness, or texture. This prepares the wall for a cleaner, more professional-looking finish.

Linerpapers are typically made from a thicker, more robust paper material than standard decorative wallpapers. This extra weight and density contribute to their ability to mask imperfections and provide a stable base. They are often unpatterned and come in neutral colors, acting as a blank canvas. Installation is similar to regular wallpaper, involving pasting and careful alignment, though the focus is on achieving a perfectly flat surface.

The use of linerpapers is particularly beneficial when applying new wallpaper over older, difficult-to-remove wallpaper, or over walls that have been previously painted with a glossy finish that might impede adhesion. In some cases, linerpapers can also offer a slight degree of insulation or sound dampening, though this is not their main purpose. They are a practical solution for achieving a high-quality wallpaper installation.
