Adhesive wallpaper yourself: instructions for work on pasting (video)

When we glue the wallpaper ourselves, we not only finishroom to your liking, but also save money. The diverse design of the material makes it possible to realize any artistic solution. To qualitatively make self-pasting, you will need to comply with technology, patience and accuracy. The longevity of the coating depends largely on the quality of the glued material, the preparation of the walls and the correct choice of the glue. For fast gluing, you need high-quality wallpaper: paper, non-woven and vinyl.

Types of coatings and glues

The following types of wallpaper are common:

• paper, on which the drawing is rolled;
• vinyl, obtained by the method of gluing PVC on the basis of paper;
• coatings based on non-woven fabric;
• materials having a glossy surface;
• washable coverings.

An opaque base of non-woven wallpaper allowshide all the unevenness of the wall. The most durable are vinyl wallpapers. Patterns applied to the material can be machine or manual (more expensive). In machine printing, the colors of rolls in a batch are the same. When handmade, the colors of patterns in rolls may vary. The adhesive glue is purchased together by rolls. Conventional wallpaper is glued with any adhesive, for heavy types of coating use concentrated glue. Washable, vinyl, metallized varieties of coatings are glued using a strong glue containing fungicide. Such glue prevents the development of mold on the walls during the long drying of the materials.

Instruction on wall gluing

Before beginning the pasting, it is necessary to preparewall surface works. Old paper wallpaper is moistened with a solution of soap, which is added a bit of glue. Thick paper is cut for better penetration of the liquid. After soaking, remove the old coating using a metal spatula. If the walls are painted with enamel, they are cleaned with a large emery cloth. Wash and water emulsion soak and clean with a spatula. If the black has a thin layer, it, using a sponge, rinse with hot water. The surface of the walls, removing unevenness, shpaklyuyut and plaster. On the most prepared for pasting the foundation you need to know that it must be aligned, cleaned and dried. Tools for gluing wallpaper. Wallpapers can have different options for combining, information on this can be obtained from the markings on the insert. To work, you need tools:

• roulette;
• meter;
• Roller used for seaming;
• a shear knife and scissors;
• building level and plumb bob;
• roller;
• container for glue;
• sponge and rags,

Materials:

• wallpaper;
• wallpaper glue.

Pasting is done on pre-prepared walls. Performing the following steps in order, we glue the wallpaper with our own hands: The process of gluing the wallpaper.

Glue in the correct proportion thoroughly mix with water and leave to be infused until swelling.

Measure the height of the wall and measure this distance with the addition of 10 cm on the wallpaper strip. If the pattern is to be joined, the strips are cut off taking into account the addition for combining the pattern.

Pasting is carried out in the direction of light propagation, starting from the window. Using a plumb bob, the width of the strip is laid off from the corner and the vertical is drawn.

The cut strip is lubricated with a suitable glue, applying it from the center of the strip to the edges, which are lubricated especially carefully.

Slots are folded together without kinks, leaving the glue inside.

Leave each strip of wallpaper for impregnation for the recommended time in the instructions (usually 5-10 minutes). Impregnation prevents the appearance of bubbles and the peeling off of paper from the walls.

The section of the wall where the strip will be glued is also glued with glue for better fixing of the material.

Glue the strip, aligning its edges along a previously planned line. The band is pressed with a dry cloth or rolled with a roller from its middle to the edges and from the upper to the lower edge.

The next strip is pasted to the previous one.

The wallpaper is cut (before the glue dries) from below - at the level of the plinth, from above - at the ceiling level.

The lagging edges are glued with glue and pressed against the wall, the joints are ironed using a rubber roller.

At work, an important point is the pasting of such complex places as corners. When pasting corners, observe the following rules: Sequence of wallpapering.

Measure the distance from the last strip to the corner and add to it 20 cm.

The strip is cut and pasted onto the wall and the inner corner.

To glue the paper to the corner, we draw along the back side of the knife.

To glue the outer corner to the distance measured from the last strip to the corner, add 25 cm. We glue the wallpaper, bending the cloth through the corner.

The rest of the strip is glued to butt.

If folds are formed on an indirect corner, damp paper along the corner is cut with a knife along the ruler and its edges are fixed.

Similarly, using the appropriate glue, you can cover the walls with vinyl wallpaper. Bubbles on vinyl panels pierce with a needle and, pushing out the glue, glue to the wall. Back to contents</a>

Pasting with non-woven fabric

Pasting the walls with a non-woven liner (1.06 m wide) makes it possible to hide defects. Such wallpaper can be designed for painting. To work on pasting you need these tools:

• laser level;
• roulette;
• a roller having a long pile;
• brush;
• plastic spatula;
• knife;
• bucket;
• sponge.

Materials:

• glue;
• wallpaper coating.

We work in this order: Scheme sticking flizeline wallpaper on the walls.

Pasting is best done from the corner of the room, placing the sheets end to end. Marking the walls, lay off from the starting corner in both directions for 1 m and hold the vertical.

Cut all the cloths and roll them in the form of tubes, leaving inside the front side.

The glue is bred in cold water.

Roller evenly apply glue to the wall.

Roll out the panel on the base, without tearing it from the wall, and combine with the vertical, leaving the bent strips on top and bottom.

Brush smooth the canvas, moving from the middle of the strip to the edges.

Cut the wallpaper from below and from above, then squeeze out the excess adhesive with a spatula on the side of the joint with the next strip.

After sticking each next piece of cloth with a spatula, pull it to the joint, creating an ideal alignment.

Joints are washed from traces of glue.

When we glue wallpaper with our own hands, the process of pasting andsubsequent drying should be carried out indoors. The non-woven coating is afraid of drafts, although not as much as vinyl. With flizeline material it is easier to work, since it is plastic and does not require the application of glue on the glued panel. If the material on the non-woven base is intended for coloring, it can be dyed immediately after drying. To successfully perform the work for each type of wallpaper, you need to properly choose the glue and dilute it in accordance with the instructions. Pasting should be done by technology, working carefully and carefully. It is convenient to glue the wallpaper together, but one person can quite cope with this kind of work. Completed on technology independent design for a long time will make the room cozy and beautiful. </ ul>
