Wall blocks and flagstone embossed wallpapers in US?
« on: 04 December 2021, 09:31:06 AM »
This is an amazing example (“Hadrian plain”) that doesn’t seem to be available in the US:

Here’s another exquisite one that I can’t find in the US:



But, though those two particular patterns might not be available to those of us in the US, these others DO seem to be (I haven’t purchased the sample sheets yet):

Pattern A
https://www.ebay.com/itm/144038128532?var=443336771481

Pattern B (might work for “Roman” cobblestone roads)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/144037101131?var=443335534955

Pattern C
https://www.ebay.com/itm/144028188345?var=443322569204

Are there any others, that could work for stone block/tile flooring or even for wall stonework?

Nice finds, you are the wrong side of the pond for ME. :(
I think Pattern C would work best as roof covering.

If you have a Michael's craft store in range and if they have the LeMax products for the holidays, they have some useful sheets that can be used - a bit of regular pattern, though.

Unless you find some after christmas, it's extremely overpriced for what you get there.

Sotf is correct - except that almost always before Xmas there is a 40% off sale on Lemax and far too often by Xmas there are none left in stock.

It's also a pain to work with if you cut it up unless they've massively changed it, and it doesn't glue very well.

A long while ago, I'd done some work at a store that was selling the lemax stuff and wanted me to put together a display for what they had...it was not pleasant to use it in pieces because it didn't stick and would curl up even after some tricks to try ironing it.
