What are the wallpaper?
Ways of finishing walls with a cloth: a - fixing a new cloth on the wall, b - checking the verticality of the folds with the help of a plumb on the cord. The most common types are: paper, vinyl, non-woven. Paper are good because they are cheap, light, environmentally friendly. But they are short-lived, afraid of high humidity, pollution, and when sticking, they require extra care - impregnated with glue, they are easily torn. They are single-layer and two-layer. The latter are stronger, but if they are glued with glue and overexposed, their glued surface appears dry in minutes. So, oddly enough, paper wallpaper glue is not so simple. Leadership in popularity is vinyl wallpaper. They are on paper or non-woven basis. The front side of them is covered with waterproof and airtight polyvinyl chloride. Ecologically they are not as flawless as paper ones. But they fit all the rooms: the most damp and the dirty. Unless they reluctantly glue them in the nursery. They are strong enough and resistant to mechanical stress. With an overabundance of the glue spread on them, you can not be afraid that they will tear.

How important is the preparation of the walls?
The procedure for gluing wallpaper.Washable wallpaper - one of the subspecies of vinyl - has a significant drawback. Their subtlety requires careful preparation of the walls, sealing grooves, cracks, irregularities, otherwise all the smallest flaws will be noticeable behind the wallpaper: grains of plaster, brush hair, nail heads. Preparing the walls is an important step in the work. Sometimes it turns out to be more time consuming than the wallpapering itself. Whatever you are going to paste over the walls, they must be flawless - free from old wallpaper, peeling paint, whitewash, leveled, putty, sanded and primed. But foamed vinyl wallpaper allows the walls to be rough. The embossed pattern on their surface makes them thick and creates some inconvenience when gluing. They need to be smoothed with a rubber roller so as not to damage the volumetric coating. Small irregularities of the wall are invisible behind their thickness. The motley pattern of wallpaper also masks the flaws of the wall. If the wall itself after puttying has become variegated, then dark spots will peep through the thin, light, monochromatic wallpaper. You are unlikely to be satisfied with such a job. So, if you are too lazy at the preparation stage, then dark colors. Back to the table of contents</a>

They are used for rooms of large area, with even walls. Torturing will wrap the wide wallpaper in the kitchen or hallway, where there are many corners and protrusions. Half a meter width is the standard inherited from the USSR. The optimal width - 70 cm - have wallpaper imported. Most often, the wallpaper can be on a non-woven basis.

The wallpaper that is wet with glue is easily torn. On the other hand, under the non-woven wallpaper, the wall should be ideal.
