Today’s homes are built with the most energy efficient materials, sustainable products, and cost-savings integrations during the construction and design stages, and when it comes to the interiors it should be no different.

What you need to think about is where are you going to use the shelf liners and the traffic expected in that area, this will help determine if you need either a non-adhesive shelf liner or an adhesive shelf liner. Let’s dive in and see their differences and uses;
Non-adhesive shelf liner
The benefits of this style is that they are easy to cut to size, replace as needed, and installation is a breeze.
· Grip liner – As the most popular choice it is safe to say they do the job first time around. Great for cabinets and drawers and are cushioned to protect your items on top, with added padding to keep items in place.
· Smooth top liner – A good option for areas such as bathrooms, kitchens or laundry where splashes and smudges are prone. They are smooth for quick and easy wipe downs and with no grip tops allows items to be moved from side to side when needed. And the grip under layer keeps them in position once moved.
· Solid grip liner – Pantries are always filled with crumbs it seems, these liners offer a protective layer to wired shelving making crumb clean up a breeze and preventing spills from dripping down. They are easy to pop in the dishwasher for sticky messes.
· Clear liner – Even fridge shelves need liners where food items are constantly in contact with the fridge or other items. These are great for fridge drawers to keep loose, individual items from rolling around when opening and closing the drawer. But equally great for the open shelving so bottles or products are secure when packed in but with transparency to always see the next shelf and spot any spills.
Adhesive shelf liner
Adhesive liners are more suited to decorating, covering, and resurfacing purposes and come in a variety of prints or textures to add a little something extra to your homes overall design. They are great for multi-purpose projects and can give a cost-effective update to areas and furniture around the home that have been damaged or are looking a little tired.
The backing paper is pre-printed making measuring and cutting quick and easy, and the front layer is constructed from high quality adhesive laminate that is simple to wipe down.
A protective refresh
If you are hoping to make a few changes around your home this season but don’t want to break the bank to do it then shelf liners are a perfect option for you. They serve the needs for each room and area in the home, and add a financial increase in property value through aesthetic but also longevity.
