Will I need a special installer?

Can I cover over wood paneling or damaged drywall?

You can hang right over the top of wood paneling with our paper. We recommend filling grooves with at least two coats of drywall mud, which will need to be sanded after each application. Once the wall is fairly smooth, prep the walls with pre-wallcovering primer and you are ready to hang. Our papers also work well for disguising walls that may be damaged. It may be necessary to skim coat your damaged walls with a light layer of drywall mud prior to hanging, depending on the level of damage.
