The type of wallpaper you choose is important because you want to choose the wallpaper that works best for its intended area. For instance, wallpaper that works best in the bathroom might not be the best candidate for the dining room. Read on for a sampling of wallpaper types:
-
Vinyl coated paper - As its name indicates, this wallpaper has been treated with acrylic vinyl or polyvinyl chloride. These wallpapers are easy to clean and unaffected by longterm exposure to humidity or grease.
-
Coated fabric - This type of wallpaper has an underlying layer of fabric also coated with a liquid form of vinyl. This is not a good candidate for humid rooms such as bathrooms or walls that will be exposed to grease.
-
Paper backed vinyl or solid sheet vinyl - This type of wallpaper has a layer of paper or pulp backed to a decorative vinyl surface. Because of its vinyl surface, this is another good candidate for high humidity areas. In fact, this type of wallpaper is good for almost any climate.
-
Fabric backed vinyl - This wallpaper consists of a layer of fabric laminated to a layer of solid vinyl. There are two types of wallpaper included in this category. Solid vinyl is simply a layer of paper or fabric laminated to vinyl film.
