Flizelin for ceiling
Among the many types of ceiling wallpaper, it is worth highlighting 4 main ones:
- non-woven fleece;
- vinyl;
- liquid;
- glass walls.
Pasting the ceiling with non-woven wallpaper. Non-woven wallpaper is most often used for finishing the ceiling, which is facilitated by its properties. The main characteristics of non-woven wallpaper:
- dense base;
- protection from cracks;
- perfectly suitable for staining;
- the possibility of wet dust removal.
The dense base of such wallpapers allows them to hideall minor defects that could not be removed during alignment. Often the ceiling is covered with plasterboard, which can crack at the joints of the sheets. This does not mean that the material is of poor quality or that the work is negligent; this is a disadvantage of plasterboard. Therefore, gluing non-woven fabric on it is the best option, since its dense base can protect the main material from cracking. Non-woven wallpaper can be used as a base for further painting. This indicates the high moisture resistance of the material. Naturally, a flood from above can spoil their appearance a little, but they will not get completely wet or turn yellow. Non-woven fabric is recommended for use in the interior of the kitchen or in the hallway, since grease and dirt can be easily removed with a wet sponge. To make the wallpaper look its best under the paint, it is recommended to give preference to non-woven wallpaper with a pattern. A textured ceiling is the highlight of the room.

Wallpaper symbols. Vinyl wallpaper differs from non-woven wallpaper by its structure. This material consists of the following layers:
- 1 layer - non-woven fabric or paper;
- 2nd layer — polyvinyl chloride
Performance characteristics of vinyl wallpapermatch the qualities of non-woven, but vinyl allows you to expand the color and texture solutions. All vinyl wallpapers can be washed, and the degree of wet cleaning depends on the thickness of the PVC layer. If it is thin, then it is advisable to limit yourself to a couple of movements with a wet sponge, but if the layer is thick enough - green light for a full wash. There are several types of vinyl wallpaper. If the wallpaper was made without embossing, then its surface will easily cope with irregularities. In the case when they are made using hot embossing, their appearance will be very original. Several subtypes of vinyl wallpaper are made in this way:

Fiberglass as a ceiling finish
Characteristics of fiberglass.The very name of this wallpaper speaks of the material it is made of. Glass threads of different thickness and strength are impregnated with a special starch solution, which prevents this material from burning. That is, if a fire occurs in the apartment, the glass wallpaper will prevent the fire from spreading. In addition to glass threads, this wallpaper contains only natural materials: sand, clay or limestone. They are hypoallergenic and do not pose a health hazard to people and animals. Glass wallpaper masks cracks and other damage well. Since the material is quite strong, it prevents the appearance of irregularities and defects. Therefore, it can last about 30 years. Due to its strength, they can not only be wiped with a damp cloth, but also subjected to mechanical action. It is important that dust does not linger on the fiberglass, since this material does not accumulate static electricity. Glass wallpaper is not only easy to use, but also advantageous in terms of savings. Since they can last up to 3 decades, they can be painted at least 20 times during this period. Moreover, the number of layers of paint does not spoil the appearance of the ceiling. Return to contents</a>

Technology of wallpaper ceilings
Table of calculations of the number of rolls. Wallpapering the ceiling consists of the following stages:
Before starting the process itselfgluing wallpaper, you need to prepare the surface. The previous decorative layer must be completely removed, the ceiling must be leveled, cracks must be sealed and the surface must be primed. To prevent cracks, vulnerable areas can be glued with a special tape - serpyanka. The primer is needed to prevent the ceiling from being affected by fungus or other infections. In addition, the primer promotes a stronger connection of materials. The glue must be diluted in proportions with water as indicated in the instructions. After preparing all the materials (cutting the wallpaper, brewing the glue, etc.), you can start gluing the wallpaper. If the wallpaper is paper, then the glue must be applied directly to the ceiling, and if their base is denser (for example, like non-woven wallpaper), then it is recommended to apply glue to both the ceiling and the wallpaper. Liquid wallpaper is applied to the surface with a spatula, and then smoothed out. It is not that easy to reach the ceiling. You need to take care of the presence of sawhorses or a high table to make it comfortable to work. It is advisable to invite friends for such work, because the number of hands plays an important role in this matter. The interior of the entire room depends on the quality of wallpapering.</ ul>
