If you’re a fan of interior design trends, you’re probably familiar with the rise and fall of wallpaper that occurred a couple decades ago. Wallpaper used to be extremely popular, but it has gradually fallen out of favor over the years. One of the reasons why wallpaper is not as popular as it used to be is because it can trap moisture, which can cause mold to grow over time.
However, if you still love the look of wallpaper, you don’t need to give up on your dreams of a floral bedroom or a patterned accent wall. In recent years, experts have found a way to solve the problem of moisture getting trapped beneath wallpaper. By simply adding perforations to the wall coverings, moisture can pass through freely, which keeps your walls clean and dry.
Our team at IPS Perforating, Inc. has extensive experience in creating perforated wall coverings, and we’re familiar with the way they solve issues associated with traditional wallpaper. Unlike traditional wallpaper, which consists of solid sheets, perforated wall coverings contain numerous tiny holes. These perforations allow water vapor to pass through the wall covering and into the air, where it can disperse harmlessly. By allowing the walls to breathe, perforated wall coverings minimize the risk of mold or mildew problems.
Another key thing to know about perforated wall coverings is that most don’t look noticeably different from traditional wallpaper. The perforations are so tiny you would have to look very closely to see them, and they are not at all noticeable from a few steps away.
