Fabric wallpaper is a roll material that is intended for interior cosmetic decoration. They have two layers, one of which is made on the basis of non-woven or paper. And the other is textiles.
The main purpose of such finishing materials is, of course, to decorate the premises. And their appearance will not leave indifferent even the most sophisticated aesthetes. But not only decorative functions are fabric wallpapers capable of performing. They have excellent noise and heat insulation properties. And some types of linen coatings boast even antiseptic abilities.
The standard roll size is 0.53 x 10m. However, some manufacturers can also make them to order with a width of 0.9 m, as well as any length. There are also seamless textile wall coverings. They are made of dense fabric. With their help, you can arrange the entire perimeter of the room, as a result of which there will be only one single seam connection. Window and doorways in this case are cut out after installation of the coating itself.
Installation of textile wall coverings can be performed in two ways:
- By sticking. In this case, the surface on which the decorative coating is to be mounted must be cleaned and leveled. The glue for fabric wallpaper is the same as for paper. But it is worth using a more concentrated solution. This is due to the fact that such a coating is quite heavy.
- Pulling. This method avoids the additional work of preparing the surface. That is, there is no need to clean the walls of old decorative coatings and level them. Wallpaper simply pull parallel to the wall on the rails.
There are many advantages of this finishing material. This is thermal insulation, and sound insulation, and vapor permeability, and, of course, the aesthetic beauty that fabric wallpaper for walls possess . A photo of the rooms decorated with their help is a vivid confirmation of this. But they also have disadvantages. And the most important of them is exposure to light pollution. If this happened, then in most cases it is better to replace such fabric wallpapers, since it is almost impossible to remove dirt. Therefore, to use them in rooms with a high risk of pollution, such as a kitchen, hallway or children's room, is irrational. They are more suitable for bedrooms and offices.
Depending on the top layer used, wallpapers are:
- linen;
- silk;
- felt;
- jute;
- velor;
- jacquard.
As mentioned earlier, this type of decorative coating for walls is quite whimsical. This is expressed in the features of operation. In no case can they be washed or rubbed, as as a result there will be stains that can no longer be removed. And this already means that the interior is spoiled. Only dry cleaning is suitable for them.
The cost of a decorative coating is determined by several factors. The first is the material used for the top coat. Secondly, texture and coloring. Thirdly, the environmental friendliness of the material. So, linen fabric wallpaper can be bought at a price of 350 rubles per linear meter, while the cost of velor can reach 9000 rubles.
