As cold winds begin to blow, consumer interest in insulating wallpaper that keeps out the cold is growing. Insulating wallpaper is thicker than regular wallpaper, so in addition to providing insulation, it blocks the loss of indoor air, allowing you to keep spaces warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a functional wallpaper that delivers both heat-retention and cooling-retention effects. Moreover, insulating wallpaper maintains indoor temperatures, preventing condensation, mold, and moisture while helping to keep the indoor environment comfortable, making it popular not only with ordinary households but also with single-person households. There are many types of insulating wallpaper, and adhesive insulating wallpaper in particular has been well received among consumers looking to do their own interior decorating, thanks to its simple installation process.
An industry official said, “In summer, insulating wallpaper blocks external heat and retains the cool air inside, and in winter it blocks drafts while retaining the warmth inside, cutting heating and cooling costs so it can be used all year round. On top of that, its thickness gives it excellent sound-absorbing properties.”
‘Epiron Emboss,’ introduced by Youngbo Chemical, is an eco-friendly wallpaper that has earned the Ministry of Environment’s eco-friendly certification mark. In addition to its outstanding insulation performance, its polyolefin foam base material has a closed-cell structure containing an air layer, making it completely waterproof and effective at blocking harmful substances such as wall mold and cement toxins. In particular, to broaden consumers’ range of choices, ‘Epiron Emboss’ has released a self-adhesive wallpaper line. Available in a total of 8 varieties, the self-adhesive wallpaper is popular with consumers wanting to do their own interior decorating because you simply peel off the backing sheet and stick it directly onto the wall. In addition, because it is made of polyolefin, it is lighter and less prone to creasing than ordinary self-adhesive wallpaper, making it easy for homemakers to install as well.
Parkron recently launched ‘DIY Interior Insulating Wallpaper,’ which is excellent at preventing condensation and mold and delivers both insulation and decorative effects through simple installation.

A Parkron representative said, “Our new insulating wallpaper can transform the entire mood of a home—studio apartments, living rooms, children’s rooms, master bedrooms, and more—and can also be used as accent wallpaper to liven up specific areas such as laundry rooms, verandas, entryways, sinks, and offices,” adding, “It is a product certified in various areas, including certification against the six major harmful substances as well as heat retention, mold resistance, UV blocking, formaldehyde, and sound-absorption certifications.”
The ‘Ttasaroom’ insulating wallpaper introduced by Daeseung I&P offers 37 varied designs of insulating wallpaper, including 10T insulating wallpaper (double the thickness, double the insulation) as well as ceiling insulating wallpaper (2T) and Ttasaroom foam blocks. ‘Ttasaroom’ insulating wallpaper is an eco-friendly insulating wallpaper that has received Environmental Mark certification from the Ministry of Environment, and because it uses odorless adhesive, it can be used immediately after installation. In addition, its strong adhesive force bonds tightly to the wall, boosting insulation performance while effectively blocking drafts and cold air. Composed of a special film, numerous air layers, and an aluminum layer, its proven insulation effect retains warmth and blocks cold, helping to maintain a stable indoor temperature. With a single installation, it blocks moisture during the rainy season and condensation in winter, preventing the recurrence of mold, and its wide range of designs lets you choose wallpaper to match your home’s atmosphere, so you can enjoy decorative effects as well. A Daeseung I&P representative said, “As a self-installation product using stickers, it can be easily peeled and applied, so it can be installed easily and conveniently anywhere, allowing you to block drafts with ease,” adding, “By simplifying the distribution structure we have lowered prices to boost consumer satisfaction, and because it is produced directly by a specialized manufacturer, product quality has been further improved.” Reporter Lee Su-an
