May 2012 The UK housing market has changed significantly in the last couple of years – with bumper results for the DIY industry, which has found itself in the middle of an unexpected boom time as British residents reach for the paint roller, the paste brush and the pasting table.

Now we’re all pretty much used to the fact that the place we live in currently is the place we’re going to stay, for the foreseeable future at least, our thoughts as a nation seem to have returned to the art of home decorating. Not for selling on, which (as we all learned through the exhortations of the rash of “houses for cash” programmes the property ladder good times foisted on us) basically involved painting everything white and getting rid of all the items that used to personalise a home: but for actually living in. The British family home is back, after an absence of more than 15 years: and sales of pasting tables are rocketing.

Wallpapering is one of the best and easiest ways to put that stamp of individuality back on a house. Now we don’t need to stick to the uniform magnolia (imagine how many pots of off white paint got sold over the last 20 years!) anymore, we’re getting inspired to decorate with colour, with pattern and with flair. To remake our houses as the homes they used to be. Wallpapering allows a home decorator to introduce not just colour, but texture and design into a room – everything, in other words, that the anonymous “show home” feel fashionable during the property boom was not. A pasting table, of course, is a necessary adjunct to wallpapering (at least, if one is going to have any chance of doing it properly, and not just end up cocooned in a mess of glue and pattern). So what makes a good one – and where does a person get it?

Pasting tables UK are built to do two very specific things. First, they’re intended to provide a flat surface on which all standard lengths of wallpaper can be rolled properly, and have their paste applied: and second, they’re supposed to be extremely difficult to knock over. Consequently, one’s best bet for a pasting table is a good wooden one, which will offer both the smooth heavy surface one needs to apply the glue without disaster, and the weight necessary to remain stable in a DIY situation. Given that one is, at some point, going to be holding a length of freshly pasted paper and trying to get it onto a wall, the last thing one needs is a table that collapses with the slightest bump of a hip. Pasting tables UK, when they’re good, are built from solid wood or hardboard and fixed upright with strong steel struts.

Where does one get one? The Internet, of course. Where else. Why spend time trawling around the shops when a quick search engine query will do all the legwork for you?
