Heat from a radiator can cause wallpaper to peel away from the wall if it’s not appropriately installed. This is because the heat tends to dry out and shrink the wallpaper, creating peeling or bubbling. This effect is particularly noticeable when the wallpaper is only tucked part of the way down behind the radiator. To prevent this issue, it is important to remove radiators when installing wallpaper. By doing so, you can ensure that the wallpaper extends all the way down to the skirting, providing a uniform surface that is less likely to be affected by the radiator’s heat.
