Wall fashions change
just as fast as clothing
fashions, unfortunately changing your wardrobe
may be a little easier than changing your
wallpaper. The good news
is that most
wallcoverings manufactured in the last 20 years
were designed to be removed easily. If the
walls were
prepared correctly before the
installation, the wallpaper can usually be removed
very
easily. The more difficult jobs involve removing
multiple
layers, products manufactured more than
20 years ago, and wallpaper
installed directly
over new sheetrock with no primer. In most
cases
difficult removals can be avoided by priming over
the existing
wallpaper with an oil based primer.
Seems and bubbles can be cut
out and floated
over with drywall compounds to reveal a fresh
new
surface to either install your new wallcovering
over or texture and
paint.
