How to Fix Wallpaper Bubbles | ROMAN Products

Bubbles forming underneath wallpaper can be an unsightly problem that can interfere with the smooth appearance that wallcoverings should present. It’s not an uncommon problem, but fortunately there are ways to correct the issue and restore the wallpaper to its original state.

The process goes like this:
- Feel for any existing bubbles with your fingertips
- Make an X-shaped cut over the bubble
- Fill syringe with wallpaper paste
- Insert the syringe into the bubble and apply the paste
- Use a smoothing tool to smooth out the bubble
- Wipe away any excess paste
That’s basically how to fix bubbles in wallpaper. Be sure to gather all the materials you need prior to beginning the repair process.
The primary reason behind the formation of bubbles underneath wallpaper is improper installation. Several factors contribute to this problem, including inadequate surface preparation, incorrect adhesive application, and insufficient smoothing during installation. Wallpaper is typically applied to walls using adhesive, which creates a bond between the wallpaper and the wall's surface. However, if the adhesive is not evenly distributed or if there are air pockets between the wallpaper and the wall, bubbles can form as a result.
One common cause of bubbles is improper surface preparation. Walls should be clean, smooth, and free of any debris or imperfections before applying wallpaper. If the wall is not properly prepped, the adhesive may not adhere evenly, leading to the formation of bubbles. Additionally, wallpaper should be allowed to acclimate to the room's temperature and humidity for a period of time before installation to prevent expansion or contraction, which can also contribute to bubbles.
Furthermore, the application of adhesive is a critical factor in preventing bubbles. Applying adhesive unevenly or using the wrong type of adhesive for the wallpaper can lead to inadequate bonding and, consequently, the formation of bubbles. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific wallpaper product being used and to use an appropriate adhesive.
Once bubbles have formed, it is important to address the issue promptly. Ignoring the problem can lead to a deteriorating appearance of the wallpaper and may ultimately result in the wallpaper peeling away from the wall. This not only diminishes the overall look of the room but also means additional expenses for repair or replacement. It’s definitely worth taking the time to learn how to repair wallpaper bubbles.
Fortunately, solutions are available to correct the problem of bubbles forming underneath wallpaper. ROMAN Products offers a range of accessories designed to tackle this issue effectively.
