Wallcoverings the pros love!
We did a survey of the professionals on the American Paperhanging Network. We asked them which wallcovering they found the easiest (over all) to install.
The winner by a good measure was EISENHART Wallcoverings! This is some of what the professionals had to say:
- Eisnehart also has a dark gray backing that hides seems on dark papers...works GREAT (Dave & Martha)
- What do you love to hang? In a word: Eisenhart. Nowadays, it seems like the stuff nearly hangs itself. (Clyde)
- The easiest "real"paper that I have hung. (Chris)
- Without a doubt, Eisenhart is the best...I call it a "peaches and cream" day when I see it waiting for me at the job. It just "handles" with such ease and looks great when complete. (CharlotS)
- It seems there's a "thumbs up" for Eisenart (or is it Eisenhart?) and I agree with that. I've had a chance to hang a lot of it, and it is consistently easy to hang. The edges are straight, the pretrimming to the match is excellent and the seams roll easily and are invisible. (Debbie)
These Wallcoverings also got high marks:
- Blonders last two books Textural Transitions 4, Galaxis, are great books easy to install wallpaper. (Jerry)
- For an American pick, I would choose Sanitas euro-width pre-pasted. The pre-pasting is generally usable and a DIYer won't get into much trouble even if they don't do a great prep job (DIYers, by nature abhor all prep-work--they want to be able to dip and go). Since it isn't hi-shrink, you could probably hang it directly over garbage paint, cross fingers, and get a good result (you might even be lucky enough to remove it later). (Jim)
