Hi,
The decorating company I'm using is busy wallpapering our newly renovated house but the wallpaper seams keep gapping. I asked the hanger and he said that maybe the house was too cold and that a dehumidifier would help. I rang his boss and he said that a dehumidifier was a bad idea and a regular electric heater would be better. He said he thought the house was too cold and that this was the cause of the problem. He also suggested that they could fill the seam gaps with colored chalk? I asked why they were just ploughing ahead slapping up the wallpaper (4 rooms so far) if there is an problem and he said that "you cant tell till the paper is up if there is a problem with the wall. you should have had the heating on more." They are the professionals and I know nothing about decorating, but they are saying it's my fault for not heating the house up.
The question is, will the gaps just get worse and what should I do?
