- Seam roller
- Small tool used to used to secure the seams of wallpaper to make them adhere
to the wall when dry. This is done by rolling or pressing the seams after
the paper has been applied to the wall and the air bubbles, if any, are smoothed
away. This should be used on most papers as part of the installation process.
Stringcloth, grasscloth, flocks and heavily embossed wallpaper are examples
of product which would be damaged by the use of a seam roller.
- Shade
- A color produced by adding a percentage of black to a pigment.
- Shading

strip of wallpaper. Reverse hanging (hanging every other strip upside down)
can often solve this problem.
- Sidewall
- Sheets of wallpaper, as opposed to borders or murals.
- Silk screen
- A method of printing wallpaper whereby a silk screen is used during the
printing process to develop unique design effects not usually available through
other manufacturing processes. The process can be carried out entirely by
hand, partly by hand and partly by machine, or entirely by machine.
- Sizing
- A powder mixed with water and applied to a painted or otherwise sealed surface
to give better slip and thus make installation easier.
