Surface preparation is an essential first-step to a successful wallpapering project. Yet, most people spend more time selecting wallpaper than they do on surface prep. Priming walls first with a pre-wallcovering primer, like SHIELDZ® UNIVERSAL Pre-Wallcovering Primer or BITE® Premium White Primer & Wall Size GH-77 by Roman Decorating Products, will make installation easier and removal easier at redecorating time. Here's why:

Creates Sound, Sealed Surfaces - Not all surfaces are sound, sealed and have a uniform color. Bare drywall is notorious for sucking all the moisture out of wallpaper adhesive in a very short period of time causing seams to split. Flat paint - especially builder's flat - does not offer a sound surface for wallpaper and will delaminate from the drywall surface if not primed before wallpapering. Most redecorating projects have a variety of surfaces that need to be sealed - porous, gloss, multicolored and even existing wallpaper. One coat of SHIELDZ Universal seals all surfaces to create a sound foundation for hanging ALL types of wallcovering.

Faster, Easier Installation -wallpaper installation is much faster and easier because of the increased slip and repositioning time. With the increased working time and a uniform surface, seams are easier to match up and mistakes are easier to correct.

Better Appearance and Long-Term Performance - For example SHIELDZ Universal can be tinted to match the background color of the wallpaper, making it ideal to help hide seams or dark wallpaper over light colored surfaces. It prevents seams from pulling away and curling up.

Faster, Easier Removal with No Damage to Walls - When the time comes to remove the wallpaper, it can be stripped from the walls without damaging the surface or tearing the drywall facing paper. The remaining adhesive can be easily removed using a stripper and the new wallpaper can be installed without delay.

TIP - Using a universal primer helps minimize seam splits.
