Despite the emergence of new technologies and improved building materials, wall papering remains one of the most popular options for redecorating an apartment or house.
At the moment, there are so many different wallpaper options that you can easily use them to realize the wildest fantasies of the designer. The main thing is to make the right choice.
Existing types and variants
Wallpaper can be paper, vinyl, non-woven, textile and even liquid. Not to mention the types that are quite 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 to renovate an apartment, 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 you need for a quality repair is to know how to properly glue non-woven wallpaper.
Technology of pasting does not requireany special skills. An additional advantage is that they have an increased level of strength and can be subjected to 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.
Gluing technology
Often, people who do repairs on their own are frightened by the question: how to glue non-woven wallpaper correctly? In fact, they stick very easily, even easier than paper ones. This is due to a special technology: the adhesive is applied directly to the wall, which greatly facilitates the working conditions. At the same time, the canvas remains clean, which is also important.
The non-woven wallpaper sticker is also convenient because they do not stretch during operation and do not shrink afterwards. Thanks to this, they can be glued end-to-end without fear of ugly gaps between the seams.
Features of pasting corners
Glue on a flat surface is quite simple. But how to glue non-woven wallpaper in the corners of the room? It's actually not that difficult either, it just requires a little more attention and a little more effort from you.
It is not so important whether you will paste over the inner corner or the outer one. 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 home apartments.
The adhesive should be applied to the wall, to a space somewhat larger than the width of the canvas. Start the processgluing the strip, as in the case of pasting a flat wall - butt to the previous one. Align the corner, then with a spatula wrapped in a textile napkin for softness, carefully smooth the wallpaper on both sides of the corner. This action will also help you remove excess glue from under the canvas, if any.
Next, glue the next strip of wallpaper, but not end-to-end, as you did before, but overlapping, 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 pasted. Remove the excess on both sides of the notch, then reconnect the canvases, additionally smearing the wall with glue with a brush. That's all, you have a beautiful, even joint between two strips of non-woven wallpaper, independent of the evenness of the walls.
It is very easy to make high-quality wall repairs with your own hands. It is enough to know how to properly glue non-woven wallpaper.
