What should you check first?
Wallpaper-ready plaster prepares the wall for wallpaper, but wallpapers differ in thickness and texture. Heavy textured paper may hide more imperfections than thin, smooth paper. Bring a sample or the product information and discuss the surface preparation it requires.
How does this affect your choice?
In addition to smoothness, check dust, suction and dryness. Glue and primer must fit the chosen wallpaper and the substrate. A new plaster layer that is still too damp or sucks unevenly can cause problems with adhesion and the final image. Let the treatment person indicate what control and preparation are needed.
Planning the next step
Agree who will fill small imperfections and apply the primer so that each stage of the work is covered. Assess the finish under the lighting used in the room. If you may want to paint the wall later, discuss this when choosing the plaster finish.
Practical checklist
- First choose the wallpaper
- Request for substrate requirements

More advice for your project
Bring the real wallpaper as a reference
With a thin solid wallpaper, the requirements at the base are not automatically identical to those of a thickly structured product. Show a steel or product sheet. A small test piece in a representative place can help to discuss expectations about seams, shadows and visible unevenness.
Discuss these points for your home
- Name the wallpaper type before the quotation.
- Ask what preparation the treatment person is still carrying out.
- Review the example in the final lighting.
Discuss your plastering project.
