Single Roll vs Double Roll

We frequently receive questions relating to the differences between single and double rolls, and how Prime Walls prices wallpaper in relation to the roll size. This page will help you to understand the differences so you have all the information you need before purchasing wallpaper for your project.

What is the difference between a single roll and a double roll?

The term “single roll” and “double roll” strictly refers to the size of the wallpaper roll itself, not how many rolls you are getting. A single wallpaper roll and double wallpaper roll are both just one roll of wallpaper, with a double roll being a longer length than a single roll. In other words, two single rolls = one double roll.

The standard double roll wallpaper size is 20.8” wide x 33’ long. However, sometimes the roll size differs a bit depending on the manufacturer. You should always refer to the dimensions of the wallpaper roll on the product page before purchasing.

What prices am I seeing on the Prime Walls website?

At Prime Walls, we like to provide our clients with consistent information and a smooth shopping experience. This means we both price and sell our residential wallpaper in double rolls. This eliminates any confusion or surprises when it comes to purchasing your wallpaper. When you add a wallpaper roll to your cart, you are adding one double roll of wallpaper. None of our products are priced or sold in single rolls.

Most other retailers price in single rolls but sell in double rolls. This leads the customer to think that the price is lower than it actually is. When they get to the checkout, they are forced to order wallpaper in multiples of 2, which doubles the price and creates a confusing and frustrating experience. At Prime Walls, we only price and sell in double rolls.

If you still have questions regarding roll sizes and what you can expect to receive, please contact us at 1-888-220-9093 or info@primewalls.com.
