When repairing or redecorating a room, you have to solve a number of issues related to the choice of materials for decoration. Now the range of offers is so large that even experienced workers do not know all the possible options: almost every week something new appears in large hardware stores.
It was just such a novelty that non-woven wallpaper for painting was recently. Of course, now that they have already gained well-deserved popularity, the situation has changed radically, and their predecessors on a simple paper basis are slowly fading into history. Moreover, this does not depend on the desire of buyers - the industry simply “turns off” such production. Accordingly, now you can buy non-woven wallpaper in any specialized store. This is quite natural, given their benefits.
What is non-woven wallpaper
Translated from German, the word "non-woven" means "non-woven material." Its basis is not paper, but compressed cellulose fibers in a certain way, additionally glued with special additives.
Through this changethe sizes of pasted paintings are practically absent, which paper wallpapers cannot “boast”, especially in the lower price category. In addition, the strength of non-woven fabric is higher. The level of breathability is quite sufficient to be called "breathable".
There are several varieties of these wallpapers. So, on the market you can buy "construction non-woven fabric" - these are rolls 1 m wide and 20-25 m long. In fact, this is real non-woven fabric. The second type is non-woven wallpaper for painting. Unlike the first option, they have a palpable structure: thin enough to be light, but at the same time strong enough not to tear in the hands. Outwardly, non-woven wallpaper for painting resembles blotting paper from Soviet notebooks, with the only difference being that the three-dimensional print structure is whiter than the base. After gluing (by the way, glue is applied only to the base surface) and drying, the wallpaper must be painted. To do this, you can use water-based paint. The best result is achieved with a double pass: along, and after the layer has dried, across the pasted rolls.
The third variety is represented by wallpapers in which the base is non-woven, and the top layer is made of another material, for example, polyvinyl chloride (vinyl). These are already finished products that do not require painting.
Main benefit
Compared to paper versions, non-woven wallpaper for painting has a unique ability to hide microcracks. Let's dwell on this moment in more detail. Residents of private houses wellEven perfectly plastered walls and ceilings are known to develop cracks over time. They may be very small, but still noticeable. The situation is aggravated if mistakes were made during the construction of the house: a weak foundation that allows subsidence; incorrectly selected masonry material; finishing technology violations. By the way, even such a seemingly reliable material as drywall can crack at the junction of sheets, even when using reinforcing mesh and special putty. By sticking non-woven wallpaper, you don’t have to worry that a crack that appears will damage the strip, as it would be with paper options.
