Q. Can I use Stoney Brook paper in my bathroom?
A. Yes, the natural fibers of the paper allow your walls to breathe and the over-lapping installation process doesn’t allow moisture to seep behind the paper causing it lift. We do recommend that you use a mildew resistant wallpaper primer as a base coat and to caulk around your back splash and tub or shower surround with clear latex caulk to prevent moisture from entering from behind the cut edges. Ventilation fans are also recommended.
Q. How do I know how much paper I need to order?
A. There are two ways of ordering our papers. The easiest and most foolproof way is measure in square feet the area to be covered only; exclude all windows and doors etc, order that square footage amount and Stoney Brook calculates and includes shipping and overages for you. The second option is for you to measure your space and calculate your own overage; we recommend you add a minimum of 50% to your order.
