What are single rolls, double rolls, and bolts?Updated 10 months ago


Single vs Double Roll of Wallpaper

Some wallpaper is manufactured, and shipped, in a double rolls. What does that mean? Bear with us, but think of it like rolls of paper towels; they take two single size rolls and make one big roll. That's basically how it works with wallpaper.

TIP: Although prices on other websites are sometimes listed by the single roll (to appear cheaper), wallpaper is only sold in double rolls. Don't be fooled!

For example: When you purchase a double roll of wallpaper from us, you will only receive one roll. The roll dimensions listed on our website are for double rolls. Please note: If your installer tells you to purchase 4 double rolls, then purchase a QTY of 4.


Bolt

Wallpaper that's sold by the yard is stocked in bolt quantities. Some commercial papers are sold in a 30 yard bolt. That means 30 yards will be rolled into one bolt. For example, if you ordered 60 yards, you would receive two 30-yard bolts.
