Students calculate the amount of wall covering material needed, prepare the surface and install
the covering on a section of wall. Using professional paperhanger tools students explore a variety of
tasks in preparing the surface to be covered, including removing old wall coverings, measuring the
area to be covered, cutting a length from the roll and carefully positioning the patterns to match.
