Tempaper & Co. wallpaper installation in Utah

An installer's guide to Tempaper & Co.: how the papers hang, what it costs to have them put up on a northern Utah wall, the patterns people ask for most, and where to buy them.

About the brand

What Tempaper & Co. is known for

Twin sisters Jennifer Matthews and Julia Biancella Au launched Tempaper in Brick, NJ in 2008 as one of the first self-adhesive, removable wallpapers, and it remains the best-known peel-and-stick brand in the US, sold direct and through Target, Home Depot, Wayfair and Walmart. The house style is accessible designer prints (florals, palms, geometrics, faux grasscloth and faux sisal textures) plus TV-designer collaborations; since its 15th-anniversary rebrand to Tempaper & Co. it has added authentic grasscloth, murals, custom printing and a small traditional unpasted non-woven line.

How you buy it. Tempaper & Co. sells direct from its own website and through retailers, so you can order the rolls yourself and hand them to us, or send us the pattern link and we will confirm the roll count before you buy.

What it costs to buy. $60-$65 per single roll (20.5 in x 16.5 ft, 28 sq ft) or $120-$130 per double roll (20.5 in x 33 ft, 56 sq ft); textured specialty designs to $150 per roll; unpasted non-woven line from $69.99 per roll; samples $8.

Installer's notes

How Tempaper & Co. papers install

  • Surface rule from Tempaper's FAQ: smooth, primed walls painted in eggshell, satin or semi-gloss. Flat, matte and low-sheen paints are not recommended (paint may come off on removal), and textured surfaces are not recommended - the FAQ allows 'nothing more than an orange peel texture'.
  • Let new paint cure at least 30 days (product pages say a minimum of 4 weeks) before hanging peel-and-stick; for the unpasted non-woven line Tempaper says 30-60 days.
  • Wipe the wall with a 1:1 isopropyl alcohol and water solution and let it dry fully before installation; remove outlet and switch covers.
  • Strike a plumb line, peel back 3-4 ft of liner at a time and squeegee from the center out; the vinyl can be lifted and repositioned to fix alignment or bubbles, and pinholing releases trapped air.
  • Butt seams are standard, but Tempaper recommends a slight overlap in spaces subject to temperature fluctuation so the seams do not open as the vinyl shrinks.
  • Remove by peeling slowly from a corner, parallel to the wall; the unpasted line is a permanent-style non-woven and comes off in full dry sheets like other paste-the-wall papers.
Roll or strip size20.5" x 33', about 56 sq ft (double roll)
Backingnone (self-adhesive vinyl film on a release liner); non-woven for the unpasted line
Paste methodpeel-and-stick (self-adhesive); unpasted non-woven line is paste-the-wall
Adhesivenone for peel-and-stick (factory water-based adhesive on the back); for the unpasted line Tempaper says to roll a standard wallpaper adhesive onto the wall (paste-the-wall) and sells its own adhesive
Typical repeatvaries by design; e.g. Stamped Palm 18 in vertical straight match; Tempaper uses both straight match and drop match (design repeats diagonally panel to panel)
Match typesstraight, drop
Washabilitywashable (wipe with a damp cloth); unpasted non-woven is washable with a damp sponge; real grasscloth is vacuum-only
From the brand's hanging instructions: Tempaper explicitly allows a slight overlap at seams in rooms with temperature swings to avoid seams splitting as the vinyl moves. Multi-roll orders ship from the same lot number. Double rolls are recommended for walls over 8 ft to reduce waste. Product must be applied to primed, painted, fully cured walls; the brand says removal from flat/matte paint can pull paint.

Specs are drawn from the brand's published instructions and product pages and can change by pattern — we confirm against the label on your rolls before cutting anything.

FAQ

Tempaper & Co. questions

Will Tempaper stick to the orange-peel or knockdown texture on my Utah walls?
<p>Tempaper's own FAQ says the product is for smooth, primed, painted walls and that texture should be 'nothing more than an orange peel'. Light orange peel usually holds but will telegraph through the vinyl and gives the adhesive less contact area; knockdown and heavier texture should be skim-coated, sanded, primed and painted in eggshell or satin first. We can skim and prime before hanging so the paper looks and holds like it should.</p>
I just painted the room - how long before Tempaper can go up, and does the paint finish matter?
<p>Wait at least 30 days (product pages say a minimum of 4 weeks) for the paint to fully cure; fresh paint keeps off-gassing and the adhesive can lift it. Use eggshell, satin or semi-gloss; Tempaper does not recommend flat, matte or low-sheen paint because the chalky surface bonds poorly and paint can peel off with the paper on removal. We wipe the wall with a 1:1 isopropyl alcohol and water mix right before hanging.</p>
Can a pro install peel-and-stick so the seams do not lift or split in our dry climate?
<p>Yes - most lifting comes from wall prep, not the product. We hang to a plumb line, work 3-4 ft of liner at a time, squeegee from the center out and, per Tempaper's guidance, use a hairline overlap in rooms with temperature swings so seams do not open as the vinyl relaxes. We also order all rolls together so they ship from one lot, and recommend double rolls for ceilings over 8 ft to reduce seams and waste.</p>
I already bought Tempaper & Co. wallpaper. Will you install it?
<p>Yes. Send us the pattern link, a few photos of the wall and its dimensions and you'll have a written price in one business day; keep the rolls sealed until we've checked the batch numbers. If you haven't ordered yet, send the link first — we'll confirm the roll count against the pattern's repeat so you don't come up short.</p>
