Woodchip paper?

[EricP]

Anyone seen large rolls of this about in the course of their travels?

Cheers

Are you trying to track down the last remaining few so you can burn them ?

[Paul Andrews]

Just coat the wall with PVA and spray cornflakes over it. Then you can paper over with a plain paper. Easy.

;-)

You're welcome.

Toilet rolls are cheaper mate.

Wickes, ISTR - however, it's not best quality - take care not to stretch it.

I dunno why people have a problem with woodchip. Whist I admit it's not the most stylish wallcovering it certainly improves lumpy walls. The same is true of artex.

I'm sure that textured walls/ceilings will come back into fashion soon, just as carpets are starting to do.

No. A thousand times no. I'd rather have chunks of plaster falling off than either woodchip or artex.

Then I'll emmigrate.

I have no problem with textured wallpaper - though I think the patterns available 10-20 years ago* (Graham & Brown) were far better than the current range. But please don't mention wood chip in the same breath!

*I know. Old age. But the present range seems to be so old-fashioned! ;-)

[EricP]

I am ashamed to say I want to put it on walls.

[EricP]

Yes, their stuff is like one chip per per square inch, but any port in a storm :))

Cheers.

And to the rest of you:

TTHHHHHHRRRRRRPPPPPPP!!!

Not sure why you want "large" (long?) rolls. "Touch" made a very good wood chip ("ingrain") paper. It's much nicer on walls than textured paint, for instance, or that damn stuff with sand in it....

Didn't Christie use woodchip when he was decorating? ;-)

LOL! Sorry :)

Woodchip though, ewe!

[Owain]

It does not "improve" lumpy walls. It conceals the lumps.

Owain

[Christian McArdle]

It does no such thing. It introduces new lumps. Thousands of the b&stards.

Christian.

[sPoNiX]

It improves the appearance was wot I meant.

[sPoNiX]

See that house decorated in woodchip? That's your dream house, that is!

:)

[Christian McArdle]

No. Woodchip was invented because people couldn't afford plaster. It wasn't a lifestyle choice.

I would no more apply woodchip paper than I would sew patches to my trousers.

Christian.

[EricP]

You Swine!!!

You worked it out!

/me goes to pack and flee.

[Mark]

UGH! I think artex should be banned! It's a real pain to get rid of.

And then go out of fashion again leaving a mess to get rid of.
