PRO-515 ULTRA: An Innovative Alternative for Installing Rigid Wallcoverings

Wallcovering installation can go a long way toward enlivening interior spaces, but traditional methods like mechanical fasteners and double-sided tape often present challenges, especially for rigid wallcoverings. These methods can detract from aesthetics, damage surfaces, or just fail to provide long-lasting results. Fortunately, innovative solutions such as ROMAN PRO-515 Ultra offer a modern, effective alternative. Designed for a variety of wallcovering types, this adhesive streamlines the installation process while delivering impeccable results.

Types of Rigid Wallcoverings

Rigid wallcoverings are highly versatile and durable, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications. Unlike flexible wallpapers, these materials provide structural benefits and unique aesthetic qualities. Common types of wallcoverings in this category include:

• Wood Paneling - Adds warmth and texture to a space while offering excellent durability.
• MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) Panels - Cost-effective and easily customizable, these panels are great for painted or laminated finishes.
• PVC Panels - Resistant to moisture and ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
• Stone Veneer Panels - Bring the elegance of natural stone at a fraction of the weight.
• Rigid Vinyl Wallcoverings - Durable and available in a wide range of designs, perfect for high-traffic areas.
• Laminate Panels - Known for scratch resistance and easy maintenance, making them ideal for commercial spaces.
• Each type of wallcovering is also associated with certain challenges during installation, particularly when using traditional methods.

Challenges of Traditional Installation Methods

Using screws, nails, and double-sided tape for rigid wallcoverings often creates more problems than solutions:

• Mechanical Fasteners (screws, nails, staples, etc.)
  • They can damage both the wall surface and the wallcovering itself, leaving visible marks or holes.
  • Alignment can be challenging, requiring extra labor and tools.
  • Fasteners may detract from the sleek appearance of high-end materials, such as stone veneers or rigid vinyl wallcoverings.
• Double-Sided Tape
  • While convenient, tape lacks the holding power needed for heavier materials like MDF or wood paneling.
  •  Humidity and temperature fluctuations can weaken adhesive strength, leading to detachment over time.
  •  Removal often leaves residue or damages the wallpaper material, making replacement more difficult.

Luckily, there is now an effective alternative that can handle different kinds of wallpaper and wallcovering materials.

Introducing PRO-515 Ultra: A Game-Changer for Rigid Wallcoverings

ROMAN PRO-515 Ultra All-Purpose, All-Surface Construction Adhesive offers a superior solution for wallcovering installation. This advanced wallpaper adhesive is designed to simplify the installation process and eliminate the issues associated with mechanical fasteners and tape. Its benefits include:

• Enhanced Aesthetics - One of the key advantages of using PRO-515 Ultra is the clean, seamless finish it provides. Unlike screws or nails that leave visible holes, or tape that can cause unsightly bulges, this adhesive ensures a flawless look.

•  Durability in Challenging Conditions - PRO-515 Ultra is resistant to moisture, UV exposure, and structural movement, making it ideal for high-humidity areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, as well as outdoor applications. Unlike tape, which can fail over time, this wallpaper adhesive maintains its bond under a wide range of conditions.
