Calculation of the required amount of material
Table for calculating the required number of rolls.To perform the calculation, you need to have the geometric dimensions of the room. You should take precise measurements of the wall height and the width of the entire room. The height is measured from the ceiling plinth to the floor plinth. Multiplying the height by the perimeter gives the area of the walls of the entire room. If there are hard-to-reach places in the room, they must be measured. Next, prepare and make a sketch of all the walls indicating hard-to-reach places. The prepared sketch allows you to more accurately calculate the required amount of wallpaper. After purchasing the estimated number of rolls, prepare a detailed plan. Horizontal pasting requires correctly determining the place to start pasting the room and correctly calculating the places where the patterns coincide at the joints. The greatest attention is paid to this when pasting the corners of the room and in places where doors are installed. If there is a plan for the placement of furniture in the room, then it is better to join the pattern where the cabinet will be installed, it will cover this problem area. The width of the stripes in the pattern is selected depending on the height of the ceiling. For high ceilings, the width of the stripes is allowed to be 1.5-2 m, for a room of medium height, stripes of 1-1.5 m in width are combined, in low rooms - the width should not exceed 1 m.

A horizontal strip is drawn on the wallparallel to the floor covering. The correctness of the line is checked with a laser or water level. This is necessary to ensure that the wallpaper level matches the furniture level. The technology of pasting strips has its own sequence. First, the upper panel is glued, then the lower one. An overlap is left at the joints of the sheets, and this overlap is not glued with glue. The wallpaper is left to dry. When the material dries, the overlap is cut off and the panels are glued end to end. Uneven and protruding edges are covered with borders, wooden slats, plastic moldings. These finishing elements perform an aesthetic function. Decorative elements are selected taking into account the characteristics of the elements themselves and the pasted wallpaper panels.
