Lincrusta is a specialist wallcovering product. There are some specific techniques required, so whilst it is possible to install it yourself we recommend using a specialist installer to ensure a first class finish.

Thorough preparation of the surface is essential when hanging Lincrusta. Remove old wallpaper, wash down, fill all imperfections and allow to dry. Rub down before applying a coat of size. We recommend cross-lining all non-porous surfaces (eg. solvent-painted walls) to give perfect adhesion. Apply lining paper using a ready-mixed adhesive containing a fungicide. Allow to dry thoroughly before applying Lincrusta.

When applying Lincrusta to newly plastered walls, it is not necessary to cross-line the wall.Allow the plaster to dry thoroughly, then scrape, rub down and fill any imperfections. Apply 2 coats of size and allow to dry before applying Lincrusta to the surface following manufacturer’s instructions.

Lincrusta wallcoverings, friezes and dado panels are supplied with a selvedge to protect the product during shipping. To remove the selvedge use a sharp knife and metal straight edge.Lincrusta borders RD1639, RD1640 and RD1953 are supplied ready trimmed.

We recommend only using our own specially formulated Lincrusta adhesive when applying Lincrusta.This is available in both 1 litre and 5 litre sizes.

1 litre of Lincrusta Adhesive is sufficient to cover 1 roll of Lincrusta (5.3 square metres)
