How to glue non-woven wallpaper by yourself: recommendations
Before you start working, firstIt is necessary to mark the walls. Non-woven wallpaper has an excellent edge, so it is glued end-to-end. When marking the wall, the corner is marked first. In such places, the wallpaper is glued with an overlap, to facilitate further processing. Using a level with a pencil, draw a vertical line. Its length should be equal to your height. 1.05 m is measured from the drawn line. The floor is covered with polyethylene film, on which the wallpaper roll is rolled out. Moreover, the pattern should look down. When cutting, it is imperative to take into account the applied pattern. If it is missing, then it is necessary to measure the height of the room directly at the place where the canvas is glued. Moreover, the length of the canvas should be 10 cm longer. It is necessary to bend the roll, achieving a coincidence of the edges, as a result, an even bend will be obtained. To cut the rolled and folded canvas, you can use a stationery knife. According to the manufacturer's instructions, wallpaper glue is diluted. Non-woven wallpaper is glued with a special glue. Water is poured into a bucket, and glue is poured in a thin stream while stirring constantly. This is necessary to avoid lumps, which will cause poor gluing of non-woven wallpaper. In order for the glue to swell, it is necessary to let it stand for several minutes. To remove excess glue, you can install a plastic mesh.
Scheme for gluing non-woven wallpaper to walls.Wallpapering always starts from the top. Holding the edges of the canvas, press it against the wall. Gradually lowering the roll, smooth the surface with a roller, sometimes with a special brush, starting from the middle and going down to the edges. Smoothing can be done with a plastic spatula, but this must be done carefully so as not to accidentally spoil the appearance of the wallpaper. After pasting several canvases, you need to process the subsequent wallpaper seams with a roller. All excess must be cut off after drying. The length must be calculated so that the subsequently installed plinth completely covers the canvas. Return to the table of contents</a>
How to properly glue non-woven wallpaper that has a large width?
Construction stores sell wallpaper like this,the width of which reaches 1 m. Of course, such a width can hardly be called standard. However, it has become widespread. This is not accidental. Such a width provides several advantages when compared with classic types of wallpaper. Due to the large width, the pasting procedure is much easier, the number of seams that create an unsightly appearance is reduced, and monetary costs are reduced. The cost of meter rolls is much lower than two small ones. And how to process the corners when pasting is performed? For such an operation, it is necessary to pre-prepare the corners. It is performed when puttying the walls. Plastic corners are attached directly to the corner on the putty. After the walls have completely dried, you can begin to glue the canvases. After gluing the corner, the wall and plastic corners are generously covered with glue. Wallpaper in the corners is glued so that the adjacent wall gets a small overlap. Usually it reaches 2 cm. The next strip is glued in the same way, with a small overlap. Excess material must be removed with a stationery knife, moving strictly vertically. As a result, the canvas will be glued to 2 cm of the canvas. Its edge will rest against the corner. As you can see, wallpaper in the corner is also quite easy to glue.

The method of gluing the ceiling with non-woven wallpaper
It is important to always remember that such products,intended for the ceiling, never stretch. In addition, when the glue gets wet, bubbles do not form. The non-woven fabric is easy to lay out and straighten. The adhesive composition is applied to the ceiling, the surface of which must be pre-cleaned and dried. To create better adhesive adhesion, the ceiling is painted with a primer. The pasting process itself is very easy. There is no need to carefully fit the sheets end-to-end on the ceiling. However, you need to remember some small features. The wallpaper sheets must be overlapped. The joint is leveled by removing the excess, focusing on the established line. If the technology is followed correctly, an even coating is obtained. After finishing the work, you must wait until everything dries. In this case, you must always remember that the work will be spoiled if fresh air gets under the wallpaper. Hence the conclusion that all windows and doors in the room must be closed.
