Frequently asked questions
What is decorative putty? Hand-applied, textured plaster—textured wall coating. Thicker than paint, gives a richer surface. Stripe Living is a type of decorative putty: with a fine striped pattern.
Is there a more durable solution than wallpaper? Yes. Stripe Living gives a wallpaper-effect pattern—but it doesn’t peel, yellow, or tear. More durable, cleanable, lasts for decades.
How is a patterned wall made without paint? With a special tool. The Stripe Tool draws grooves into fresh material—this creates the linear pattern. Not painting, not printing: a handcrafted technique.
Which Living system should I choose? Depends on character. Wallcrete Living is rich, trowel-smoothed. Wallpaper Living is silky smooth, minimalist. Patina Living is aged, vintage. Stripe Living is fine striped—design plaster with wallpaper effect.
Is there a waterproof Stripe system? No. Stripe Living is made exclusively for dry areas. For wet areas, choose the Wallcrete, Wallpaper, or Patina system.
Can the decorative putty be applied on tiles? Yes, but Stripe requires a flat surface. Keragrip Eco Pulep, then Wallcrete + Wallpaper Living smoothing is needed.
Can I apply it myself? Technically yes. The pattern quality depends on handling the Stripe Tool. An experienced DIYer can do it—expect a learning curve.
How durable is the Stripe Living decorative putty? With professional application, 10+ years. The Decor Paint topcoat can be renewed without redoing the entire system.
