Types of wallpaper: material and features of pasting

Wallpaper has an extensive classification of the materialmanufacturing. If earlier only paper and fabric were used as it, then with the development of new technologies, the assortment of wallpapers widened. What types of wallpaper exist depending on the material of manufacture? Back to contents</a> Paper wallpaper: Features This option is a permanent classic. This kind of wallpaper came to us from the East, where they are considered a traditional material. In the 18th century, paper coating for walls was actively used in Europe. Today, these wallpapers are the most inexpensive and easy way to decorate the walls, thanks to this they have gained special popularity. In addition, the paper is environmentally friendly (air passes), so it can be used in almost any room. Paper wallpaper is not recommended to glue inrooms with high humidity.

When pasting, they exhibit the following disadvantage - low strength. They are easy to break. If they are crookedly glued, then they can not be moved. They need to be glued lapped, as they dry up when they dry out. But do not worry much if there are bubbles with air: when drying, the coating will even out. In no case should you leave freshly glued paper wallpaper in a room with a draft - the windows should be tightly closed. Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain - the wallpaper will be unstuck.

The appearance of vinyl wallpaper is associated with the beginning of the use of polyvinyl chloride for commercial purposes: in 1947 the American company introduced the world's first vinyl wallpaper. This option of finishing the walls has its pros and cons. Structural wallpaper based on foamed vinyl can hide the unevenness of the walls. Hot stamping wallpapers can imitate various materials: stone, textiles, textured plaster. A special place is occupied by such technique as silkscreen printing. To create such a decorative effect in the top layer of vinyl, silk threads are placed. Composition of vinyl wallpaper. The advantage of vinyl coating is its strength and resistance to external influences. However, when applying the adhesive, the web is significantly deformed, stretching. And when it dries it shrinks again. As a result, the seams can disperse. This material does not allow air to pass through, and during combustion produces toxic substances. If bubbles are formed with air or glue under the cloth, it is necessary to squeeze this formation to the seam with a roller or hands. Wallpaper can be moved, pasted for several minutes after gluing. Vinyl wallpaper is moisture resistant, so they can be used in rooms with high humidity or assuming regular washing of walls. But they do not tolerate changes in temperature or humidity. These wallpapers have the greatest number of interesting decorative options.
