‘reasons, They are &
product that moves with the
times. Thus, in this do-it-
yourself age, they are both
easy to put up, and take
down - and the number one
plus - easy to maintain.
However, the term
‘wallcoverings’ alone does
sometimes create some
confusion in our minds,
because long gone are the
days when ail waltcoverings

new area for them, ie.
apartment, dwellers or
people who frequently move.
The dry-strippable type of
walleovering is specially
treated paper. Resins, latex
and sometimes man-made
fibres are added to the paper

removed irom the wall
without wetting. The
‘peelable’ wallcoverings are
another category. Here, the
