Review on Self-Adhesive Brown Brick Wallpaper - Peel and Stick, Waterproof 🏠 Vinyl Vintage Design - Perfect Contact Paper for House Decoration, No.57103-3 by Antonio Lemm

I love the brick wallpaper! I bought the brown color and have been looking at the papers for over a year. I ordered samples of at least 7 different types of paper and when finally the one I selected had a delivery delay I ordered this and another as Ave Maria. I had 5 days to finish painting and packaging this project and I had to deliver something! (Thanks, Prime 2-Day). A lot of the papers I looked at had a glossy texture and I wanted them to look more realistic like bricks. and in my experience the brick does not shine. As soon as I opened this box I heard the voices of angels. It was "the one". I am now a retired decorator and experienced paper hanger who has misplaced countless rolls in my life. This paper was easy to work with. most of time. As others have said, it breaks easily if it tears. So be aware that when working with long, narrow parts, you have to be very careful not to let the weight snap it. I've glued walls 11 feet tall, so this was an issue, but only when using vertically cut pieces. If they didn't have extra cuts, that was fine. When trimming the edges of the ceiling and baseboard, I used a ruler and disposable cutters. Keep the edge straight toward the ceiling as you cut to avoid the blade dragging and tearing the paper or leaving a jagged edge. Frequently loosen the blade as soon as you feel resistance to get very clean cuts. I bought 3 for my project (10 double rolls) and could use another one. More tips that will make your life so much easier and ensure great results: Use a wall primer before you start! I use Zinser Sheldz and if your paper is dark like this brown brick you can tint it to hide the seams. This is sometimes referred to as "gluing" the wall and it basically seals the surface so your paste doesn't get sucked into the drywall. This makes it much easier to place, and anyone who deletes it years later will thank you, because it also helps with clean deletion. I know it's another $20 step and takes a couple of hours to paint and dry (2 hours before you can hang the paper) but it's worth it in the end. I then set up a foldable cut and paste table. . When you cut the paper, make a pencil arrow on the back showing where the top is as it's hard to tell when it was cut. Once you've glued the paper (edges are important!), post it. This means fold each edge towards the middle so that the glued sides are on top of each other and hang up immediately. The longer the paste takes to harden, the more likely it is that your paper will soften and tear. The paper's armor allows it to be moved without sticking to other surfaces. Once you have the bodice in place and aligned with the side line, unfold the bottom hem and slide/position the side seams to match your pattern. After it's smoothed out and you've trimmed the top and bottom edges, use a seam roller to roll the seams. The next tip is to immediately rinse the paper with water and white vinegar, about a glass to a gallon of water. A clean, flat sponge used for grout removal is great for smoothing out any bubbles when scrubbing your paste. Vinegar water will be your best friend throughout this sticky project. Change it often. Clean the ceiling and make sure you remove the paste as it will become shiny once it dries. If not, say hello to your little yellow spot after a year or so. Finally, when you hang an artwork on a wallpapered wall, mark where you want to use the nail/screw and make a small cross with the cutter. Paper. Cut deep enough to go through the back of the paper. Pry up the edges of your "x" to reveal the wall behind. hit the nail If you decide to take this item off the wall, simply use seam glue to attach the tiny tabs to the nail hole and you will have no signs of damaging your paper. I would give this paper 5 stars, apart from this: each roll had a different batch number. Fortunately, brick is a forgiving example. Its uniqueness and inconsistency allows for small nuances of pattern deviations. However, the risk of different batch numbers means that the color may be wrong or the pattern may be printed slightly different and no match can be made. In the end it didn't matter for this paper, but keep that in mind when ordering.
