A couple of years after wallpapering I always find the edges curling out above radiators. Obviously this is because of the heat. Is there any way of preventing this, apart from re-decorating on a more regular basis?

do you dry clothes on the rad. this causes steam condensation and disolves the adheasive.
if you must dry clothes on the rad or paper in a damp enviroment use an egshell paint

I don't dry clothes on the radiator, and it isn't in a damp enviroment. It's in my lounge.
