The maker’s instruction comes first
The maker’s current instructions for the exact product come first. Our project accounts describe work we have carried out; they do not replace the maker’s instructions for another product or wall. If the instructions and the proposed wall preparation do not agree, resolve that before ordering or hanging.
Product references need a source and a date
- For a new product reference, we record the fact as the maker prints it, and link the document it comes from: a data sheet, hanging instructions or the product page.
- The reference must give the source link and date that document was checked. Makers change their documents, so the date tells you how current our copy is.
- Where the document is silent, we write “not stated”. We do not fill the gap from another product, another colourway or the brand as a whole.
Checked twice
New product and buying-route references are checked against the maker’s own document, then reviewed by a person before they are published.
A reference that has not had that review stays unpublished.
Words we do not use without a document
We do not call a product fire-rated, washable or waterproof unless the maker’s own document says so for that exact product, and then we use the maker’s words. A stockist listing proves that a maker lists a seller; it does not by itself prove an authorised, approved or exclusive relationship. Those labels require the maker’s explicit wording.
Money
- No maker or seller pays to appear on this site, or to be listed higher.
- There are no affiliate links. Paid placement and commission must not determine inclusion or ordering.
- Where makers or sellers are listed, the order never depends on payment or commission.
- We do not show wallpaper prices, because they change. Where a price matters, we link to the seller’s site. The quantity guide explains its estimator’s limits; it does not quote installation work.
Corrections
If something here is wrong or out of date, tell us which page and what the maker’s document says. Corrections to new references must update the check date. Until a disputed fact is resolved, it should be withheld or clearly marked as unresolved.
