Lining Papers Explained by Wallrock

It’s no secret that using lining paper has many advantages; whether it’s to cover damaged and imperfect wall surfaces, create a perfect base underneath a further decorative wall covering, or simply because of its low cost.

The Decorator today has a number of options to choose from when lining a walled surface. The obvious choice is the tried and trusted conventional lining paper which is available in a multitude of different grades. The lightweight 800 and 1000 grade liners are perfect for relatively sound wall surfaces. When it comes to all round use ability and excellent masking characteristics, the 1200 and 1400 grade liners are the most popular choice. Finally the heaviest 1700 and 2000 grade lining papers will cover larger imperfections and defects.

Firstly they have to be soaked to allow the paper fibres to reach saturation point and ultimately allow the paper to expand in width. This width gain varies depending on the paper weight, but typically a length of lining paper can increase in width by as much as 12mm. This process takes time and will delay the job in hand. Also, grappling with heavy lengths of saturated paper, especially when dealing with ceilings can be hard work.
