Paper-Hangings.com
To Our Customers:
Paper-Hangings.Com sells premium paperhanging supplies, in any quantity, by mail order, to be paid by check or money order, 30 days net. We ship out as soon as we get your order, in other words: immediately. We follow that with a written invoice mailed to the same address via the US Postal Service (USPS). Sales tax is collected where appropriate. We do not use credit cards. We ship UPS ground but will expedite shipments on request.
We continue to offer only the best lining papers. By "best" we mean: cost-effective, highly absorbent, 100% papers which contain no additives such as nonwoven, rayon, or polyester.
So-called bridging liners (these are thick and often used for going over paneling or rough walls) have their place in the wallcovering industry but we do not sell them. Bridging liner may be available at your local big-box store or Sherwin-Williams.
For more information about how liners work and why they are important, see our FAQ’s on the sidebar ———>>>
WS-30 is our workhorse, general purpose lining paper (see capsule description below).
We have made a significant change to our acid free line. We no longer offer a 40-inch wide acid free liner nor do we offer a 20-inch wide acid free liner.
We offer ONLY a 30-inch wide acid free liner. The material that the liner is made out of has not changed; the only difference is the width. See below for more detail.
In summary:
- WS-30 (whitestock) is designed for ordinary liner needs for screenprints, block-prints, and European pulps - an economical 100% recycled paper liner. It has excellent absorbency, expands about 1% and weighs around 120 grams per square meter (gsm). It's thick enough to soften a wall yet thin enough to handle easily. WS-30 has no nonwoven content such as rayon or polyester and has minimal additives for wet strength. WS-30 requires sharp cutting tools.
- AF-30 is our acid free lining paper. It also weighs about 120 grams per square meter (gsm). The 30" width is convenient for most geared pasting machines and typical table widths. AF-30 is a rag-based paper certified acid free by an independent testing lab (Integrated Paper Service). It has no nonwoven content. Acid free lining paper is appropriate whenever longevity is desired: in historic houses as an underlayment for antique and reproduction wallpaper, under very expensive wallpaper such as French or Chinese scenics, or anywhere a wallpaper installation is designed to be permanent.
Cost summary:
WS-30, $9.95 per s/r. (discount of 10% for case of 48 s/r)
AF-30, $19.95 per s/r. (discount of 10% on a case of 27 s/r)

2026 **** THE YEAR OF THE BOOK **** promotion!
In honor of the 30th anniversary of THE SHOWROOM HANDBOOK (retail price $29.95), we're offering a free copy to the next 25 customers who buy paperhanging supplies at Paper-Hangings.Com in 2026 - the year of the book!
The Showroom Handbook was created to fill a need in the design community. This community includes showroom personnel and designers as well as paperhangers. Guidelines for installation of the higher quality wallpapers at the showroom level are difficult to find. Although the handbook presents technical information, it is not a "how-to" book. Nothing can replace the skills of an experienced professional paperhanger.
The Handbook contains a set of generic guidelines, solutions to the top ten problems, and a chapter on estimating, as well as chapters on the major showroom wallpaper types: handprints, imported machine prints, and block-prints.
