Good news! Our wallpaper is suitable for various surfaces, as long as they are really smooth and well prepared . This ensures the best result and prevents irregularities from becoming visible through the wallpaper.

• Smoothly painted walls
• Smooth concrete
• Smooth lime sand brick
• Smooth plastered walls
• Renovation non-woven wallpaper
• Smoothly finished plaster walls
MDF boards (without plastic coating!)
OBS plates (if properly prepared)

What else should you pay attention to?

Wooden panels (such as MDF and OBS) must not have a plastic layer and must be thick enough to prevent warping.
Highly absorbent surfaces (such as new plaster or concrete) require a primer. This ensures better adhesion. More information about primer can be found here.
Does your wall have a bright color or color differences ? Then paint it first in a solid, light color (preferably white) to prevent shine through.
