Lining papers are generally used during a redecoration job, before wallpapering, to cover up wall imperfections or staining so that the wallpaper finish is of a high quality. But regular lining papers won’t withstand damp in the walls. If that’s a problem your house suffers from then you’ll need to use foil backed lining paper. How it works Anderton’s three in one damp proof foil lining paper is made from a layer of foil, followed by a layer of bitumen to provide extra damp protections, and an outward facing layer of kraft paper that functions like regular lining paper to smooth the wall. This product provides a powerful barrier against damp, mould and mildew. How to apply it Before you apply Anderton Three in One Damp Proof Foil lining paper, you should make sure you sort out the cause of the damp in your walls. This might be due to leaky gutters, high ground water, or poor ventilation in your home. Once you’ve done this, you can apply the foil lining paper just like you would normal liner. Where to use it Foil Damp Proof Lining Paper can be used in rooms where condensation is often prevalent – shower rooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms – as well as any other room when damp is a problem in your home – bedrooms, living rooms, hallways.
