Vinyl wallpaper is a very common material for decorative walls. But before describing the technology of their sticking, it is necessary to consider the varieties of this finishing material.

There are two main categories:

on paper basis;
on a flizelinovy basis.

Paper-based vinyl wallpapers have two sides. One side is paper, it is the material that is glued to the wall surface. The second side is polyvinyl chloride, it serves as a decorative decoration of the room.

Vinyl wallpaper on non-woven base instead of the paper side are non-woven. The other side, as in the first case, is from polyvinyl chloride.

For which rooms are intended

Vinyl wallpaper is very resistant to moisture, in addition, they can be washed. One wet cleaning, and no dirt will be.

Vinyl wallpapers are suitable for rooms where there is a high probability of high humidity. They can be used in public places where there is a risk of contamination.

There are several subtypes of materials:

without stamping;
with hot stamping.

Hot stamping wallpaper

Embossed wallpapers in turn are further subdivided into several types:

chemical embossing (inhibition);
compact vinyl;
silk screen printing;
heavy vinyl.

Heavy vinyl is an excellent solution for rooms with uneven walls. These wallpapers perfectly hide all defects and highlight the dignity of the room.

Heavy vinyl is suitable for hallways and commercial premises, because it is in such places that wall defects appear most often. Compact vinyl is also great for these needs. Many varieties of compact vinyl have the texture of natural materials and hide defects.

Besides the fact that with the use of such wallpapers, the walls will get an aesthetic appearance, they will also have a unique finish.

Silk-screen printing is better for rooms. It is smooth, aesthetic and light. Before pasting it is only necessary to remember that the walls under such wallpaper should be processed as it should be. If irregularities remain on the surface, silk screening them will not hide, but only emphasize.

Inhibited wallpaper is perfect both in the corridor and in the premises of the commercial type. They can be glued in the apartment, but in order to keep the surface of the walls of the rooms clean, a simple screen printing is enough. A distinctive feature of the wallpaper with chemical embossed - it is resistant to moisture and various radiations.

Wallpaper without embossing

Non-embossed vinyl wallpapers have a uniform structure. Their top layer consists of polyvinyl chloride without a pattern. These materials have their dignity. First, they perfectly hide even quite serious surface defects. Secondly, such a coating looks very intriguing and even gives a certain charm. In addition, such materials do an excellent job with aggressive effects. They can be washed and cleaned with a damp cloth. They are not afraid of moisture at all, although they should not experiment with their durability.

Wallpaper without embossing могут смотреться строго, поэтому с их помощью можно создать соответствующую обстановку в офисном помещении. Сегодня, правда, многие офисы перешли на более технологичные отделочные материалы. Однако однотонный винил позволяет создать солидную обстановку.

Stages of work

The first stage is preparatory. It is necessary to process the wall, and first of all free it from old materials. If you plan to glue the ceiling, then its surface must be properly cleaned. Once the wall is cleaned, it must be leveled. If there are cracks on the surface, they are buried.
The second stage is gluing. And here the basis of the material is of great importance. You can not choose the best adhesive for vinyl wallpaper, because for materials on paper and non-woven base adhesives are selected different. Cutting wallpaper is, however, standard. It is necessary to measure the height of the walls and cut the material, adding about 10 cm to the height.
Sheets of wallpaper will have to first smear, and then wait until they "fit." Sheet preparation time is usually indicated on the package. If the material is very dense, then the period of its preparation is long. In thin wallpaper, it is smaller.
Non-woven wallpaper glued easily, no problem.

Glue selection

Before repair, you need to choose glue. The master can purchase either the composition of a universal type, or a special glue for paper or non-woven varieties of wallpaper. Other compositions will not work, because vinyl materials have their own specifics.

It is better to buy high-quality glue and not fear the consequences. It is better to buy compositions in the checked shops to avoid fakes.

Sticking on the ceiling

When choosing a wallpaper you need to take into account their properties. It is important to remember that wallpaper for the ceiling should have a slippery surface for good joining of the seams between them and actually stick to the ceiling. For these purposes, best suited vinyl wallpaper.

Secondly, you need to prepare the workplace. Ensure safe movement under the ceiling itself. For this, racks are assembled on the same level with each other so that no obstacles arise, and the risk of injury in the process of work is minimized.

In order for the wallpaper to hold well on the ceiling, and the seams are firmly joined together, the glue should be as thick as sour cream. For these purposes, the best glue Quelyd (Kelid).

You will need the following tools:

construction knife;
metal tape measure or centimeter;
capacity for breeding glue;
roller;
ruler more than the width of the wallpaper to cut a smooth edge;
metal spatula;
glue brush;
plastic spatula;
plastic small roller for pressing down in places of a joint of wall-paper.

When all the necessary materials and tools are at hand, you can start sticking.

First, use a roller to apply glue to the ceiling. Then, unwinding the roll, apply its edge to the plastered ceiling, continue to unwind the roll with one hand. At the same time with the other hand smooth the canvas with a spatula. At the end of the sheet can be cut, leaving a small margin, and finally align with a ruler or a metal spatula.

The first strip of wallpaper is pasted without any difficulties, since it does not fit in with anything. If the wallpaper needs to be driven under the baguette, then a small overlap is made, and when the canvas is well fixed on the ceiling, it is carefully cut off under the ruler. You need to try to make the first strip of wallpaper glued exactly.

In the same way, subsequent canvases should also be pasted, only with the difference that the joints should be carefully connected to each other, and also well pressed down with a plastic roller so that over time the wallpaper does not come unstuck and the seam between the canvases is not noticeable.

Meter Wallpaper

Meter Wallpaper имеют следующие достоинства:

First, it saves money, since the cost of one roll of wallpaper 1 m wide is lower than the cost of two rolls of usual width 53 cm.
Secondly, it is possible to save time and effort when sticking cloths, as less cloths are needed for pasting walls.
And finally, thirdly, the number of joints between wallpaper canvases decreases, and thus there are practically no seams, which generally decorates the interior.

It should be remembered and the shortcomings when using meter wallpaper.

It is necessary to prepare the surface with high quality, so that uneven walls do not affect what the joint between the canvases will be, even if the work is carried out with wallpaper of a single color, which does not require the selection of a pattern.
Also, when working with meter wallpaper, you need an assistant, while wallpaper with a standard width of 53 cm can be glued by yourself.
If the room is nonstandard, difficulties may arise in fitting the webs due to the lack of wallpaper length.

The following tools are needed:

glue;
primer;
construction knife;
scissors;
long line (meter);
rubber roller;
plastic roller for joints;
wide brush;
plumb;
pencil;
clean rags.

Before starting work, you need to prepare the wall surfaces. First, a primer or a more liquid wallpaper glue is applied on the walls (the cheapest can be used). It is necessary to treat the walls with a primer in order to improve the properties of the adhesive composition and ensure a tight fit of the web against the wall.

Foam moldings must be fixed before the process of pasting.

First you need to measure the distance of 1 m, and then in this place with a plumb line, a long ruler and a pencil to draw a vertical line.

Then measured the height of the wall from the curb or ceiling to the floor, it is desirable to add 5? 10 cm as a margin. To find out the number of canvases, the length of the roll (indicated on the package) is divided by the measurement obtained. If the wallpaper contains an image, then when cutting canvases it is necessary to remember that it is necessary to combine the drawing.

Technology pasting walls meter wallpaper

Pre-cooked glue is applied to the surface of the walls.
To the marked line and the height of the ceiling, the first canvas of the wallpaper is adjusted, not protruding from the line. Only then can the sheet be glued to the wall.
Then it is necessary to squeeze out air from under the wallpaper using smoothing movements using a rubber roller.
Further, using a construction knife or a metal spatula, cut off excess wallpaper. Wet wallpaper should be allowed to dry and then cut, otherwise they may tear.

How to dock

If the surface of the walls is smooth, then dock the next canvas is not difficult.
When gluing the second sheet, it is necessary to join it with the previous one along the entire length, leveling the wallpaper and pushing out the remnants of glue.
To make the joint even, you can not pull the roller wallpaper. The joint will disperse immediately after drying the canvases.

Work in hard to reach places

When pasting the corner, an overlap of 2–3 cm is made on the wall to be pasted. The extra wallpaper is cut to the desired size with a construction knife.
When pasting the wall under the batteries or above the door, you need to measure the required distance and cut the strip to the desired length, without disturbing the construction of the pattern when docked.

Vinyl wallpaper in the interior
