Saarpor Lining Paper – The Five Liners

A lot has changed in the world of home decorating since people used to line their walls with newspaper to soak up the damp and provide an extra layer of insulation. Since then, things have progressed rapidly in the field of insulating wallpaper and lining papers. One company leading the way in the innovation and design of insulating wallpaper is Saarpor. We’ll take a look at their range of five liners below.

Graphite Insulating Lining Paper

Saarpor’s most well known lining paper is Saarpor Graphite Insulating Lining Paper. Saarpor graphite utilizes the natural reflectivity of graphite to bounce heat back into your room. Saarpor Graphite Insulating Lining Paper is made from polystyrene that has been infused with graphite particles then laminated onto high quality lining paper. Its insulating effects are equivalent to 26cm of concrete.The savings on your energy costs are twofold as it not only reflects the heat already in the room, it also prevents heat escaping.

Heat Saving Insulation Polystyrene

Saarpor’s Heat Saving Insulation Polystyrene is designed to keep your home warm. It’s made from 2mm of polystyrene, which not only prevents heat loss but also insulates about noise by reflecting soundwaves. The thickness of the insulation also means that the paper will cover over minor cracks and plastering imperfections.

Sound Proof Insulating Liner

For homes that require more thorough sound protection Saarpor have developed Sound Proof Insulating Liner. It’s made from a 6mm thick combination of sound absorbing foam laminated to heavy lining paper.

The foam will absorb as much sound as 10cm of concrete.

The end result is a product that will block out everything from noisy neighbours, to screaming kids, to loud music.

Red Label Insulating Lining Paper

Saarpor’s Red Label Insulating Lining Paper is a moderate insulating lining paper made from 4mm of polystyrene and a high quality lining paper. It’s halfway between the lighter 2mm Insulating Polystyrene and the heavier Graphite Insulating Lining Paper.

Red Label Insulating Lining Paper has a double benefit when it comes to heating your home – It not only enables you to heat a room more quickly, it also traps heat in the room for longer.

It also has the added benefit of providing protection from mould and condensation so is the ideal product for homes in areas prone to dampness.

Latex Sound Proof Wall Liner

Latex Sound Proof Wall Liner’s made from 5mm thick latex foam – a modern and innovative material that provides impressive sound insulation, especially compare to thicker products.

That concludes our look at Saarpor Lining Paper – an impressive range with something to suit all types of home and budget.

Dado Panel Wallpapers – The secrets of creating perfect staircase

Dado rails are part of a traditional, period home look. But they are a very popular feature in all kinds of homes, period and modern, in the present day. What’s so great about them is they create the illusion of more space. They also divide up tall walls, allowing you to add a second colour to them or use a wallpaper texture or design that would be overwhelming if it covered the whole wall.

Anaglyta Dado Panels

In the true period look, dado panels were made from carved wood. But the most common, and a lot cheaper, option used today is dado panel wallpaper. Anaglypta Dado Panel Wallpaper is specially designed to be used to create a dado panel effect. It’s easy to hang and there’s a wealth of designs in the range.

Hanging dado panel wallpaper on stairs

Hanging dado panel wallpaper on normal walls is not really too different to hanging any wallpaper. But hanging it on stairs is a little more tricky. If you want to apply Anaglypta Dado Panels to Stairs read our how to guide.

Step 1 – To make sure you hang the dado rail straight, you need to mark out where it needs to go. Do this by using a tape measure to measure up from the skirting board to where you want your dado rail to be. Do this at both the top and bottom of the stairs. Then get someone else to help you hold a string at both of the marks you’ve made, and draw a line on the wall following the string.

Step 2 – If you are installing a new dado rail, it’s much easier to apply the dado panels first. First draw a horizontal line from the dado mark across the wall. This is where you hang your first piece of dado panel wallpaper. But before doing that, take a piece of card and hold it against the wall in the position of the first drop of wallpaper. Where the card meets the skirting board, draw an angled line across to match that of the skirting on the stairs and then cut across the line. This will form your template for cutting the dado panel wallpaper.

Step 3 – Place your cardboard template on your dado panel wallpaper and cut it across the angle. But keep hold of all the off-cut as you’ll need it later. Next add paste to either the wallpaper or the wall, and line the wallpaper panel up with the horizontal line on the wall. Make sure to brush out any wallpaper bubbles with a wallpaper brush as you hang it.

Step 4 – For the final step, paste the off-cut or the wall above the panel you’ve already applied, then apply the off-cut to the wall. This ensures that the angle at the top of the wallpaper matches that at the bottom. Next draw a horizontal line where your wallpaper meets the dado line, and repeat the process for each drop of dado panel wallpaper. This makes sure you end up with a tidy paneled effect on the wall up any staircase.

So now you know how to use Anaglypta Dado Panel Wallpaper in even the trickier staircase option, there’s nothing stopping you finding a design you love and creating your own dado rail today.

Take another look at Wallrock Textured Wallpaper

In the 1980s textured wallpapers, especially woodchip, were in vogue. But since then they have come to be seen not only as outdated, but also fiendishly difficult to remove. This has meant people have tended to avoid textured wallpapers like Anaglypta in recent years. But all that is now changing.

Due to leading brands such as Wallrock developing new kinds of textured wallpaper that are not only stylish on the wall, but also cover and hide plastering imperfections, textured wallpapers have begun to make a comeback. In this post, we look at some of the most popular choices in the Wallrock Texture range.

Kelsey

Wallrock Texture – Kelsey Wallpaper is a vintage design styled to look like a rustic plaster finish. Think of it as like Artex but with the mess. It’s great for covering wall cracks and pits in a traditional or period styled home.

Hackthorn

Hackthorn has a more modern look – a design of uniformly placed, raised dots that create a stunning depth of texture whilst remaining subtle and understated to look at. This particular Wallrock textured wallpaper is ideal for using in a modern styled home to create a contemporary look.

Gainsborough

We would describe Gainsborough as an elegant wallpaper. Its tulip inspired design will bring an air of class to whatever room it’s used in – preferably one where you really want to put your style credentials on the wall (pun intended). Like all Wallrock textured wallpapers, it’s designed to be paintable so you can add some colour to create either a vibrant or a softer, neutral look.

If you like the sound of these three designs, then take a look at the rest of the Wallrock Texture collection. You’ll be able to find the right choice for your home, whatever room or style you’re interested in.
