HP PVC-free wallpaper on pressed wood

Hi all, I hope someone can assist...has anyone had any experience of applying HP PVC-free wallpaper to a pressed wood surface? And would a layer or two of primer improve the overall adhesion process and prevent potential water damage to the wood? Solved! Go to Solution.

We haven't tried this before. In our technical team´s opinion it should probably work. It is important cleaning & using maybe 1 or 2 coats of non-solvent primer to prep the surface. It might work because… Like a gypsum board wall, the wood is porous (similar morphology) If the board is pressed and SMOOTH, this will have higher chance of success (but PVC-free WP can be installed on light textured walls too) We have installed samples over non-porous surfaces as well, like metal, with good results For full proof results, we will better to ask the you to run a small test if possible.
