How Much Wallpaper Paste Do You Need Per Roll?

A Complete Guide to Wallpapering with Walloro

How Much Paste Per Roll of Wallpaper?

The amount of wallpaper paste needed depends on the wallpaper type, application method, and the condition of your walls. Here is a general guideline:

• Standard Paper Wallpaper: approximately 1.5 kg per roll

• Vinyl Wallpaper: approximately 1.5 kg per roll

• Textured or Embossed Wallpaper: approximately 2 kg per roll

• Non-Woven Wallpaper: approximately 1.5 kg per roll

It’s always recommended to have extra paste available, especially if your walls are porous, uneven, or require additional adhesive.

Choosing the Right Wallpaper Type

Choosing the right type of wallpaper is critical to achieving both the desired look and functionality. The most popular and frequently searched types include:

• Paper Wallpaper – affordable and classic, ideal for living rooms and bedrooms

• Vinyl Wallpaper – washable and durable, perfect for kitchens and bathrooms

• Non-Woven Wallpaper – breathable, tear-resistant, and easy to apply

• Textured or Embossed Wallpaper – adds depth and dimension to flat surfaces

Preparing the Walls for Wallpapering

Proper surface preparation is key to a clean and long-lasting wallpaper application. Here are the essential steps:

• Clean the walls thoroughly to remove dust, grease, or any old adhesive

• Fill any cracks or holes with filler and sand down to a smooth finish

• Apply a wallpaper primer such as Roman PRO-977 or Zinsser Shieldz to ensure strong adhesion

Poor preparation can result in peeling or bubbling over time, even with premium wallpapers.

Measuring and Cutting Wallpaper

Before applying wallpaper, precise measurements are essential:

• Measure the width and height of each wall

• Consider the pattern repeat of your wallpaper to calculate waste

• Use a utility knife and straight edge to cut strips cleanly and accurately

Walloro will soon introduce a Wallpaper Roll Calculator on our site to help customers estimate their needs easily.

Applying Wallpaper Paste

The paste application method depends on the wallpaper type:

• For non-woven wallpaper: apply paste directly to the wall

• For paper-backed wallpaper: apply paste to the back of the wallpaper and let it soak

Use high-quality, recommended adhesives. At Walloro, we trust brands like Roman PRO-880 and Solvite for the best results. Proper glue consistency and even application prevent wrinkles and peeling.

Installing the Wallpaper

Start from a central point or a vertical plumb line to ensure straight installation. Follow these steps:

• Align the top and side edges carefully

• Smooth each strip from the center outward using a smoothing brush or tool

• Trim any excess at the ceiling and floor using a sharp utility knife

• Remove any visible paste on the wallpaper surface using a damp sponge

Let the wallpaper dry slowly and avoid forced air or direct sunlight during this process.
