How to Wallpaper Over a Brick or Cement Block Wall

The issues of disguising grouting and harsh surfaces are effectively survived. Coating paper, if appropriately connected, will extend over and shroud the unpleasant patches and the impact can be finished by utilizing an overwhelming or decorated backdrop.

This strategy likewise applies to dividers worked of concrete block jointing mortar squares. On the off chance that you are working with block or bond square and realize that you need to backdrop certain dividers, request that your manufacturers apply the mortar so you have a decent level surface, as opposed to raking out the joints.

5. Continue drenching and collapsing technique and bring next move of paper lining covering around 6 mm (quarter of an inch) onto the first. By having paper on paper you will keep the joins from edging into the furrows between blocks.

6. Leave lining paper to dry medium-term. As it does as such it will fix and stretch out over notches and unpleasant fixes on the divider surface.

7. Before applying backdrop, coat again with the ACC Block Joining Mortar as included protection that the covering paper has fixed appropriately and fixed on to the divider
