What is WIA
The Wallcovering Installers Association is an organization of wallcovering installers dedicated to superior craftsmanship in the hanging of every type of wallcovering. WIA is the only trade association dedicated exclusively to the interests and needs of wallcovering installers and those involved in the craft.
This is a multi generational organization dedicated to collaboration and skill sharing. Our organization is the singular entity to train new craftspeople in the skill of hanging expensive, exquisite wallpaper.
We come together annually to stay in touch with the latest techniques, skills, papers, supplies, tools and relationships that keep us at the top of our craft. This event offers so much value to each attendee. Join us for this most amazing experience.

I got started in the wallpaper industry helping my brother-in-law in high school and have been installing for the last 35 years. I’ve had experience with pre-pasted, non-pasted, non-woven, 54” commercial vinyl- wood veneer and digital mural installs and everything in between. I joined NGPP in the mid 90s and have benefited from the growth of this organization, now WIA, through association with experienced and professional installers and Associate members.
