Structure of layers of non-woven wallpaper. If the room that is to be glued is large, then the wallpaper with a width of 1.06 m is best. If the room is small, the width of 0.53 m will suit perfectly. For the best result, it is necessary that the walls are smooth, dry and without residues of old finishings. It should be borne in mind that if you leave the old wallpaper of dark colors, and on top of them glue the non-woven wallpaper of light tones, the dark pattern will come through due to the properties of the non-woven material. When the walls are aligned, you must turn off all electrical appliances that can create drafts. These can be air conditioners or fans. Also it is worth remembering that it is necessary to close all windows and doors for the best result. The wallpaper must be cut after the height of the room has been measured. We should not forget about the allowances. Floor must be covered with polyethylene or other clean material. This is especially important for light and monochrome shades. For gluing non-woven wallpaper is necessarybuy special glue. If you cut a strip somewhere there will be a speck, it can spoil the whole appearance of the room. This is especially important for monochrome or light wallpaper. The main thing - do not forget to leave "allowances" of centimeters on five from above and from below.

The process of sticking non-woven wallpaper

To paste the non-woven wallpaper with your own hands, you need to correctly approach the whole process: Scheme sticking flizeline wallpaper on the walls.

You need to select the corner of the room near the window. It is necessary to start from there, so that all the work was done qualitatively. Retreat from the selected angle of 10-15 cm and draw a line-border, which will be the edge of the first strip. It is better to use the building level, which will help to draw an even line for the first band. It is necessary to ensure that the whole wall is executed in a high-quality and smooth manner. Particularly noticeable flaws will be where the pattern is made in the form of strips, both horizontal and vertical. If there is such an ornament, it is necessary to approach to leveling with special attention and responsibility.

Apply glue to the wall with a wide brushor the roller on the long handle is slightly wider than the strip of wallpaper. Apply the adhesive evenly thin layer. If the layer of glue will be more, then less, there is a risk of unevenness. If you still can not remove the excess glue from the wall prior to gluing, you can try to "squeeze out" them with a plastic spatula while leveling the strip.

Neatly glue non-woven wallpaper. To do this, press the top of the strip against the wall and align the edge along the drawn line. Use a plastic spatula or roller to do this.

With tools (plastic spatula orroller), we spread the canvas on the wall from the ceiling to the floor. If something suddenly went wrong, you can gently peel off the strip and try to do everything again. It is necessary to level out from the center to the edges, strongly pressing the cloth. This will help to drive out not only the formed air, but also the extra glue from under the wallpaper.

Repeatedly roll with the roller or plastic spatula edges of the strip. This is necessary for better gluing joints.

Similarly, we glue the following bands "jointat the butt ". Since non-woven wallpaper does not stretch, the most difficult for beginners to glue butt to ensure that everything was exactly after the glue dries. It is worth remembering that too tight a joint can "swell", so you should find a golden mean, in which non-woven wallpaper will be pasted smoothly.

Angles are better to glue in pieces. That is, cut off the necessary distance to the corner with a small margin and paste it. Then the remainder of the strip should be glued on and continue working further.

Holes for switches and sockets can becut right away, or you can after full drying. To do this, remove the covers and tape them with adhesive tape (if you can not de-energize). Cut a better sharp construction knife.

Trimming edges. The edges can be cut as soon as the strip is pasted, and after the entire room is pasted. To do this, you can use an ordinary metal spatula, which is applied to an extra place and pressed until the construction knife does not cut off the excess part of the wallpaper. Experiencing because of uneven edges and some small differences is not worth it. The bottom of the wallpaper will go under the plinth, and the top will be closed with a ceiling and a ceiling skirting board.

Similarly, you can on the ceiling.After the glue is applied to the ceiling, it will take only three to five seconds to hold one of the edges and then level the entire canvas with a plastic trowel or roller.
