A tip for hanging commercial vinyl wall coverings in corridors and hallways.

Most commercial vinyl is 54 inches wide and is installed by overlapping the paper and making a "double-cut". This procedure is practically an industry standard. Here in NYC  some years ago we wallpapered a hotel and I made the suggestion to the hotel owner that  instead of hanging 54 inch material that we have the commercial vinyl "split"at the factory into 27 inch widths and shipped to us in 30-35 yard bolts. My reason for deciding to install commercial wallcovering in 27 inch widths was 1. At a future date when a hallway or room  wallpaper is torn or damaged the repair can be made quickly by simply removing the damages sheet/s and replacing them with extra paper (of the same run number as the original paper) When a wall is damaged with double-cut 54 inch material the repairs are more costly because you have to remove all of the vinyl paper to the nearest door or corner to reinstall with new double cuts.(patching 54" goods can look sloppy) 2. By working with 27 inch vinyl there is less waste (because of cutouts for doors and windows) and on a large sized commercial job that can be a significant saving on material for the building owner.
By using 27 inch vinyl instead of 54 in vinyl (where the pattern allows for splitting)  maintaining the wallpaper becomes much easier.
