We all know that one of the secrets to getting a perfect
finish when decorating is surface preparation but what can you do if your walls
have a damp problem, are rough or have a lot of surface cracks. In an ideal
world you would refinish the wall prior to decoration but sometimes this is
just not practical. As well as helping to improve the surface specialist wall
coverings can also help make your rooms warmer and help dampen sounds. In this
blog, we’ll take a look at some of these specialist wall coverings and their
applications.
