Thinking about peel and stick wallpaper for your project? Think again!
What you see here is peel and stick papers that have begun losing their adhesion and have bubbles/wrinkles as well. We were called to come remove and mitigate these papers from this space, costing the customer in both time and money. The instructions for peel and stick even take into account the fact that these papers can tend to adhere poorly to surfaces and can cause aesthetic nightmares as well as safety concerns. Therefore, we don’t install peel and stick and discourage choosing it for your project.
We often get asked about installing peel ‘n stick wallpaper, however we strongly discourage the use of it for several reasons:
1. Adhesion - Peel and stick wallpaper may not adhere fully to surfaces, making it not only undesirable long-term, but also unsafe in certain settings such as a nursery or child’s bedroom.
2. Temperature sensitivity - Peel and stick wallpaper can be sensitive to extreme temperatures, particularly heat. Exposure to excessive heat can cause the adhesive to weaken or the wallpaper to warp. Exposure to moisture in kitchens, bathrooms, etc. can also pose some serious problems as well.
3. Longevity - Peel and stick wallpaper only lasts for around five years in most cases. Since it’s not intended to be fully permanent, we cannot guarantee our work and ensure full adhesion and customer satisfaction.
