Vinyl wallpapers. The main advantages of finishing material: moisture resistance and beautiful appearance. Such wallpaper is based on non -woven or paper, the upper layer is treated with polyvinyl chloride. Vinyl wallpapers are produced by a wide range of drawings and textures (embossed).

Vinyl coating protects decorative decoration from sunlight, humidity and reduces dust attracting. Such wallpapers are better suited for the corridor, bathroom and kitchen. Most PVC-fraud is suitable for painting.

The lack of vinyl wallpaper is poor permeability. PVC film does not pass air, the walls do not breathe. As a result, the microclimate worsens in the room, the room must be ventilated more often.

Important! Some manufacturers use innovative technologies and produce wallpaper with vinyl coating with a porous structure. This allows the material to pass the air in sufficient volume.

Vinyl wallpaper is not cheap, but their high cost is fully paid off by a long service life, the coating retains decorativeness up to 10 years.

To date, several types of vinyl wallpaper are used:

Preparation of the base

The process of pasting any wallpaper, including non -woven ones, begins with thorough preparation of the walls. This stage takes a lot of time, but the final result largely depends on the quality of its implementation. What measures are held without fail? The previous coating from the walls must be removed, and the surface is leveled.

Removing old wallpaper. To soften the coating, you can use the usual soap solution. To improve the effect, it is advisable to add a little wallpaper glue. Washing old wallpapers or very dense first must be cut a little, inflated notch, and then moisturized with soap solution. After such processing, leave the wallpaper for a while the coating will swell and it can easily be removed with a spatula.

Sometimes the procedure has to be repeated several times. To facilitate the removal of wallpaper, you can purchase a special tool, the solution developed for this purpose is well absorbed and softens the material.

Removal of enamel and old paint. In Khrushchevs, Stalinks and apartments of the Brezhnev era, walls covered with paint are often found. If the coating exfoliates well, then it is cleaned with a spatula. However, in the vast majority, to remove old paint, you have to make a lot of effort. The enamel is tapped with an ax and cleaned with a flat cutter or chisel.

Removing whitewashing. The paint based on the water emulsion or whitewashing is pre -wetted with soap water, and then removed by a spatula. A thin layer of old whitewash is easily washed off with hot water.

• a roller with a long pile;
• brush for smoothing wallpaper;
• plastic spatula with a soft edge for rolling wallpaper;
• construction knife for cutting wallpaper;
• metal spatula (narrow);
• foam sponge;
• glue tray;
• pencil;
• ladder.

Calculation of material and wall marking.

To calculate the desired number of wallpaper, you should know the dimensions of the room. As a rule, the height of the ceilings ranges from 2.5-2.8 m, the length of the roll is 10 m. That is, one roll should be enough in three stripes. Knowing the width of the roll and the perimeter of the room can easily calculate the total number of stripes.

Most non -woven wallpaper have even high -quality edges. Therefore, they are glued to the bunch. In this case, the compound of the panels looks as a single whole surface. To facilitate further work, it is advisable to mark the markings.

From the corner of the room at an equal width of the roll (0.5 1.2 m), apply a vertical line. To test evenly, use the level. The lines are applied throughout the wall.

Stages of wrapping wallpaper

Preparation of wallpaper. It is recommended to cut the blanks on the entire perimeter of the room. It is necessary to take into account the location and layout of the drawings.

Important! Before cutting off the next canvas, you should measure the height of the walls in different places, for example, every 30-40 cm. Very often the walls have differences and the length of different cuts can differ significantly from each other.

If the wallpaper has a large drawing, then it must be selected. You can find out the size of the fitting from the icon on the label. When marking and cutting, it is important to control so that the image matches and does not have to finish a piece of the canvas from below or from above.

Important! Many experts recommend leaving a margin of 10-15 cm when cutting with a pattern. However, for placement with high ceilings, this size must be increased.

For example, if the required fitting size is 48 cm, and the height of the ceilings is 2.5 m, then the length of each workpiece will be 2.88 m. According to the rules of the cut of wallpaper, the length of the workpiece should be multiple of the fitting, i.e. 48 cm, but not less than the height of the room.

After the calculation, you can proceed to the cut. Cover the floor with plastic wrap and roll the roll with the front side. To measure the length of the cut (in our example 2.88 m) and make a cutting with a knife. With the help of a long ruler, bend the laying at the cutting level, check the evenness of the fold and cut off the sheet.

Dissage the next sheet and verify the fitting of the drawings of two paintings. If the blanks are combined well, then you can make a cut.

Preparation of glue. To glue the wallpaper, it is necessary to choose the adhesive composition corresponding to the type of material: paper, vinyl, flesilin, textiles or fiberglass. Before mixing the glue, familiarize yourself with the instructions.

General procedure for making glue:

1. Dry mixture pour into containers for stirring.

3. Apply glue to the surface of the wall. It is advisable to miss a large area than the width of the roll this gap to provide a reliable coupling of the edges of the canvas with a wall.
4. Strictly vertically arrange the first section on the quality of its placement will depend on the result of subsequent work. Gently smoothed a sheet of wallpaper with a rubber spatula. Textured wallpaper is smoothed with a roller, not too pressing against the wall. Excess glue to expel to the side where there are no wallpaper.
5. Cut the rest of the wallpaper from the bottom. It is important not to overdo it, since the skirting board will block only 3-4 cm of the wall.
6. Cut the excess wallpaper on top, leaving the minimum supply for the ceiling baseboard. To cut a sharp knife.
7. Remove the traces of the glue from the ceiling wipe the surface with a damp sponge. Get rid of the remnants of glue and on the corner seams. Some adhesive manufacturers assure that the composition after drying becomes invisible, but you should not risk dried glue glistening ugly.
8. The next section of the roll is glued to the previous sheet. The non -woven wallpaper after drying is not compressed, so the gaps do not occur. Roll the second cloth vertically along the wall, simultaneously moving to the first sheet and combining drawings.

2. When gluing on the walls, a moderate amount of glue is applied to prevent excessive stretching of the canvas.
3. In some cases, glue is allowed not only to the surface of the wall, but also on the canvas.
4. Particular attention is paid to the seams. They must be thoroughly rolled up with a roller so that they do not disperse.
