Convenience is becoming increasingly important in the marketing of wallcoverings, so that the various ways which have been, are being, and may be used to achieve and improve this are examined and discussed. Pre-pasted wallcoverings are now on the market and the ways in which these are produced are described. Semi- or completely strippable systems have been the subject of considerable development and this has resulted in numerous ways of achieving the desired properties. Some of these methods are mentioned in relation both to convenience and to the point at which the system breaks down. One possible future method is presented, which involoves the use of a novel system for obtaining a completely dry-on/dry-off wallcovering.
