Insulation board faux brick , how to stick it to wall

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.50 PM

Can I stick insulation board to wood chip wallpaper that’s been painted. The problem I have previous house owners wood chipped everywhere if I strip it I think it will pull a lot of plaster off. I m on a budget so can I stick insulation board directly onto it , I m planing to make faux brick out of it??

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

For me it's not a good idea 👎 it worth the trouble and time to strip the wood chip off the walls completely beforehand. Try using a Zinsser Tiger on the paper first then Zinsser Dif Concentrate that will do the job quick 👍

Have you heard about the weakest link, then the wallpaper is, it will break down over time

I would recommend in every case to strip walls right back wash and prepare before applying anything on the walls

It depends how well the wood chip is stuck down , everyone knows it’s a nightmare To get Off so once it’s not loose it’s okay To go over it . Just use a Good adhesive to stock the faux on
