Wallpaper Installation in Bintulu

A single feature wall is usually half a day; a full average room takes 1-2 days including prep. Add time for stripping old paper (half to a full day per room), wall repairs, and drying between prep coats.

Painted walls, yes, after cleaning and priming. Papering over old wallpaper is a false economy — trapped seams telegraph through and moisture can lift both layers. Strip first; installers quote removal as a separate line.

Stripping is typically priced per room or per hour and depends entirely on what's underneath: modern non-woven papers peel off dry in minutes, while old glued layers over unsized walls can take a full day per room with steamers and leave repairs behind.

Measure wall width and height, then let the installer confirm — pattern repeat is the trap. A large repeat can add 15-25% waste, and you should order all rolls from one batch number to avoid shade differences. Always order one spare roll for future repairs.

Yes, and prep is most of the outcome. Walls need to be smooth, clean, primed/sized, and uniform in colour (dark patches ghost through pale papers). Fresh plaster must fully dry and be sized first. Ask whether prep, lining paper, and primer are in the quote.

Yes — paste-the-wall (non-woven) papers skip soak time, hang faster and strip dry in full sheets later. Most modern papers use this backing. Traditional paste-the-paper and delicate materials like grasscloth still reward a professional hand.

Supply-and-install of mid-range Korean vinyl runs roughly RM 180-350 per roll; a feature wall lands around RM 500-1,200. Labour-only hanging of customer paper, where offered, is about RM 80-150 per roll.
