Lincrusta dado panel installation
Dado panels and friezes are a perfect for adding classic styling to elegantly proportioned interiors. Before installing dado panels, consider the traffic in the area – hallways and stairs will obviously need to take more wear and tear than perhaps the lounge, so choosing the right dado wallpaper for longevity is paramount. Lincrusta is incredibly durable as it cures with age. We’ve seen some fine examples that are over 130 years old – not a bad investment in the long run!
Lincrusta Dado Panels are currently available in 4 designs – Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Gothic and Seville., although many of the Lincrusta wallcoverings are also suitable for below a dado. Frank can also paint your Lincrusta after installation – choose your own colour palette – and with optional added highlights or decorative effects the possibilities are endless!Â

Vintage Lincrusta Dado Repairs and Restoration
Many homes have beautiful pre-war Lincrusta or Anaglypta dado wallpaper in need of repair, perhaps after building work or water damage. Don’t despair – if your vintage wallpaper design is no longer in production, Frank is able to replicate old raised relief or embossed wallpaper patterns like these in repeats of up to 1 sq. m. by hand. See a project example below.
