Despite the advent of ever new technologies and improved building materials,
wallpapering remains one of the most popular options for redecorating an apartment or house.
At the moment, there are so many different options for wallpaper that it is easy to use them to realize the wildest fantasies of the designer. The main thing is to make the right choice.
Existing types and options
Wallpaper can be paper, vinyl, non-woven, textile and even liquid. Not to mention species that are rarely used, but exist on the market: bamboo, cork or flannel options.
Paper wallpapers are the simplest and most affordable. But not the most reliable. When choosing them for apartment renovation, be prepared that new costs will be needed in just a few years.
The most convenient, reliable and interesting option is the so-called non-woven. The only thing necessary for a quality repair is to know how to properly glue non-woven wallpaper.
Pasting technology does not require any special skills. An additional advantage is that they have an increased level of strength and can undergo repeated repainting. And non-woven textile wallpapers , in addition to their reliability, also create an absolutely unusual atmosphere of coziness and comfort in your home.
Sticking technology
Often people who make repairs on their own are afraid of the question: how to properly glue non-woven wallpaper? In fact, they are glued very easily, even lighter than paper. This is due to a special technology: glue is applied directly to the wall, which greatly facilitates working conditions. In this case, the canvas remains clean, which is also important.
Convenient sticker wallpaper on a non-woven basis is also the fact that they do not stretch in the process and do not shrink later. Due to this, they can be glued butt, without fear of the appearance of ugly gaps between the seams.
Features gluing corners
Gluing on a flat surface is quite simple. But how to glue non-woven wallpaper in the corners of the room? In fact, this is also not so difficult, it just requires a little attention from you and a little more effort.
Not so important, you will paste the inner corner or the outer. The procedure for creating a perfectly even joint is always the same. Even in the presence of absolutely uneven corners, so familiar to us from our own apartments.
Glue should be applied to the wall, to a space slightly larger than the width of the canvas. Start the process of gluing the strip, as in the case of gluing a flat wall - butt to the previous one. Level the corner, then with a spatula wrapped for softness with a textile towel, carefully smooth the wallpaper on both sides of the corner. This step will also help you remove excess adhesive from the canvas, if any.
Next, paste the next strip of wallpaper, but not end-to-end, as you did before, but with an overlap of about 8-10 centimeters. Using a wallpaper knife, make an even horizontal cut from the canvas to the floor in the place where both layers are glued. Remove excess on both sides of the notch, and then reconnect the canvas, additionally smearing the wall with glue with a brush. That's all, you got a beautiful, even joint between two stripes of wallpaper on a non-woven basis, independent of the evenness of the walls.
It is very simple to carry out high-quality wall repairs with your own hands. It is enough to know how to glue the wallpaper on a non-woven basis.
