Garages are often the first space that most homeowners enter. Depending on the design of your house, you most likely rarely use the front door, and instead enter through the garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wallpaper is a finish with endless design possibilities. The design of a personal space such as a house should be an environment that reflects the users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you wallpaper a garage? You can wallpaper your garage, as long as you take into account the conditions that a garage may experience. Garages are often used for \u201crougher\u201d activities, compared to the other parts of a home, and endure much more wear and tear from these activities. Wallpaper is fully capable of handling these conditions as long as the correct measures are put into place.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, we\u2019ll be focusing on two main topics relevant to the question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A garage is the most exposed indoor spaces in a house. This exposure depends on the design of your garage and it\u2019s orientation relative to the elements such as sun, wind, rain, snow, and your water system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Garages are meant to \u201chouse\u201d cars, and most homeowners also use garages as storage spaces. Garages aren\u2019t considered as living spaces. Unless customized into a workshop, most people don\u2019t spend a lot of time in garages aside from car-related or storage-related activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This isn\u2019t to say that design is not important. All spaces in your house should look their best. Since the garage is the most exposed indoor space in your house, it\u2019s also the one that is most probably going to be seen from the outside by people and cars passing by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned in previous sections, a garage is a space where the \u201crougher\u201d activities are often done. Since it\u2019s more or less considered as outdoor space, a garage is not treated as delicately compared to other parts of a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The garage is often treated as the workspace, work in terms of manual labor of the home. It\u2019s where you\u2019d check on your car, prepare working materials for renovations, drill, hammer, grind, or simply tinker on some projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if you\u2019re not into that sort of stuff, eventually you\u2019ll have to do it. As a homeowner, you need to know at least what to do when a problem arises in your house, and most likely, that problem will require you to do some carpentry work for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regardless of the type of wallpaper you use, the garage\u2019s conditions will reduce its lifespan compared to use in other spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The moisture, air, and sunlight will have a significant effect on your wallpaper and will most probably either cause cracks, fading, peeling, or wet spots. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wallpapers are meant to be an interior finish, and the garage is somewhere in the middle of the interior and exterior. This is the reason why universally, a garage is always separated from the main house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the modern age, anything can be made to work. Although there are more efficient ways to get it down, any finish or material can be used in construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some buildings are made entirely out of wood, and it\u2019s not uncommon to be in buildings without any natural ventilation, which was impossible in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are multiple ways to make wallpaper, an interior finish, suitable for exterior use as long as you put in the work.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are multiple ways that you can make your wallpaper \u201cweatherproof.\u201d Although wallpaper, in general, is not weatherproof in itself, with the right support, it can work in a garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally, to make something weatherproof, the main factor is how well it can resist constant water and the interactions that come with it. This ranges from condensation (water forming on the object), evaporation (water drying from the object), and precipitation (water raining on the object). The answer to these 3 interactions is to waterproof your wallpaper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
