Wallpaper is a popular choice for decorating homes and offices in the UAE, however, many are unaware of the hidden costs associated with it. From maintenance to environmental impact, traditional wallpaper may not be the best long-term solution. Wall printing from Wall Zen offers a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative with limitless customisation options.

The Hidden Costs of Wallpaper



1. Replastering When Removing Wallpaper
Removing wallpaper often leads to damage such as adhesive residue, tears, and holes in the plaster, which means costly replastering. Wall printing can be applied directly to most surfaces without causing any damage, saving you time and money, with the option to paint over it if the design is no longer wanted.

2. Mould from Condensation in the UAE
The UAE’s humidity can cause moisture to become trapped behind wallpaper, promoting mould growth. Mould damages walls and affects air quality. Wall printing is breathable, preventing moisture build-up and making it easier to clean, making it ideal for the UAE’s climate.

3. Lack of Customisation
Wallpaper comes in limited designs, and once installed, it can become boring. Changing it is costly and time-consuming. Wall printing allows for endless customisation, from personal designs to unique artworks, and can easily be updated whenever your taste evolves.

Why Choose Wall Printing Over Wallpaper?

• Sustainable and Eco-Friendly - Wallpaper is often made with harmful chemicals and non-renewable materials. Wall printing, however, uses vegan, eco-friendly, and non-toxic inks, making it a safer and more sustainable option for your home.
• Endless Design Possibilities - Unlike wallpaper, wall printing can bring any design to life, from nature-inspired murals to personal photos, offering endless creative freedom.
• Ideal for the UAE Climate - Wallpaper can peel or fade in the UAE’s extreme temperatures and humidity. Wall printing is durable, colourfast, and requires no maintenance, saving you time and money in the long run.

Wallpaper may seem like an affordable option, but the hidden costs, such as the need for replastering and mould issues, can quickly add up. Wall printing offers a sustainable, eco-friendly, and customisable solution that’s perfect for the UAE climate.
