Can I glue wallpaper on non-woven wallpaper

Wall mural how to glue today, we will analyze in detail. Here the procedure is not complicated, but has its own specifics. How to stick the wallpaper must be disassembled from the very beginning. And it all starts with preparation.

If the preparation is not done correctly, then this will affect not only durability, but also in appearance. After all, then there will be distortion along the plane. Also below will be proposed instructions for the phased implementation of the work and a video will be shown where you can see the additional information you need.

A variety of photo wallpaper materials

World of photowall-paper (see.How to make your own photo wallpaper: consider in detail) is so huge nowadays that when you choose, your eyes widen! But before you go after them to the store, you must clearly determine for what period of time and in which room they will be operated. Everything can be done with your own hands and without outside help, then the price of coverage will not be significant.

• For example, the bedroom, living room and hallway are universal. Wall murals from absolutely any material are perfect for them.
• But as for the choice of wallpaper for the children's room, here the most important criterion is the environmental friendliness and safety of the material for the health of the child. Resistance to moisture, steam and high temperatures will be the main requirements for creating a design in a comfortable bathroom. And wallpapers that are quickly and easily cleaned of all contaminants will be an excellent choice for a kitchen or dining room.

The composition of the photo wallpaper is divided into four main types: paper, vinyl, fabric and non-woven.

All types of photowall-paper can be simplex (single-layer) and duplex (two-layer).

• Sometimes a duplex can contain several materials at once, which undoubtedly affects their strength and durability.
• When gluing such wallpapers, special attention should be paid to applying glue. After all, the wallpaper should be saturated enough and only after that it is applied.

Attention: Many people ask the question whether it is possible to glue wallpaper on the wallpaper and the answer here is clear, of course not. After all, the old coating gets wet and wrinkles and this will distort the coating.

How to choose a picture

It is better to choose a drawing based on the color scheme of all interior items and furniture (seeHow to choose wallpaper for the color of furniture: modern ideas) For example, if the room has rather colorful curtains, bright furniture and other textiles, then whether it’s a photo wallpaper with a seascape or impenetrable jungle, a night city with quiet streets or a flowering, lush meadow, it will only be an irritant - ripples in the eyes.

Attention: And so that this does not happen, it is necessary to think carefully over everything, even the smallest and seemingly insignificant details of the desired picture.

• In the wallpaper pattern, as a rule, one of the two primary colors dominates. It is bright, attract attention. It focuses all the emphasis.
• The second - takes on the role of shading the first. It is less flashy, but it plays the most important role in the overall design.
• For example, if the furniture in your room is made of rich brown, then the mood of autumn magic is perfect for you. And your furniture will perfectly emphasize it. But, for example, poppies on a black background will be demanding shouting about the need for burning red tones in the interior of the room, such as a sofa or curtains.

3D photo wallpaper

Now 3D photo wallpaper is a new fashion trend for true connoisseurs of stylish design. They have already managed to become a symbol of the exclusive euro repair and luxury, as they can be obtained from exclusively by order from the manufacturer. And in ordinary construction or finishing stores they are extremely rare.

• It should be noted that such wallpapers betray a bit of magic to the room, as there is a feeling that voluminous widescreen images are slowly coming down from the wall.
• Thanks to the 3D format, they also visually expand the room space. However, in order to place such charm at home, one desire and ordering materials is not enough, you need a competent design approach and the organization of high-quality lighting of the room.

Wall murals will help make the door an element of the interior

An unusual design element will be an original photo on the door, which will help turn the door prem into a window overlooking a beautiful garden or the arch of ancient Rome, or simulate the entrance to the Harry Potter's Chamber of Secrets ... All that is enough for your imagination!

• But you simply won’t be able to go to the store and purchase such wallpapers, since today the market hardly provides such products to a wide range of consumers. They can only be ordered from the manufacturer.
• But there are pluses: an individual fit to the size of your door, there will be no glues and joints on the product, and, importantly, you can choose the design, the optimal color and picture yourself.

Attention: If you are thinking of finishing the door, then carefully select the picture. It should be at least ten cm smaller than the door plane.

Photo sticking rules

Preparation for wallpapering begins with preparing the plane and marking the surface.

• First of all, a straight line is drawn near the ceiling. Here it will be necessary to apply the construction level.
• Now you need to lay out the whole picture on the floor. Immediately look at its placement. Basically now they make photo wallpapers and glue them in a joint. But at the same time, the geometry may not be correct. Therefore, you need to check.

Surface marking

For sticking you will need the following:

• Glue. To cook it, we need a medium-sized vessel, such as a small bucket or basin. To eliminate excess glue, a rag is quite suitable.
• Plain water. Water will be needed in order to pre-wash the walls from dirt and residues of old glue.
• Soft rollerbut a wide brush may come up;
• Putty knife; With a spatula, we will remove old wallpaper from the wall surface.
• Level or plumb;
• Photo wallpaper smoothing brush, but a rubber roller may come up;
• Ladder.

Choose glue

The choice of glue is a very important issue. The most wonderful murals can very easily be spoiled by bad, poor-quality or just not suitable glue.

Attention: In the store you must definitely look at the expiration date of the adhesive material and its dilution method. Instructions are on the packaging. And in the winter you should not buy on street stalls, glue loses its properties when freezing.

• A special glue designed for photo wallpaper is perfect, but since they are produced for different types of wallpaper, it is necessary to read on the package that this adhesive is designed specifically for the photo wallpaper material that you selected. You can use universal glue.
• As a rule, it is in any series that one company produces. It is difficult to say which glue is better: Russian or foreign manufacturers, in most cases they are identical, the difference is only in price: ours are cheaper.
  It should not have an unpleasant and pungent odor, and moisture resistance should be at a fairly high level.

We prepare the walls and the sticker

Wallpapering begins with high-quality preparation of the plane. They need to be mounted exclusively on a dry and even surface, free from contamination, since through them all, even the most insignificant, irregularities and tubercles will shine through. You may even have to stock up on a primer (seePrimer walls for wallpaper: why and how to do it) and putty for leveling the surface.

Making surface preparation

Attention: In no case do not glue wallpaper on the wallpaper. This is especially true for the 3D version. Here, the whole effect will disappear immediately.

• Smooth walls will not be difficult to clean and rinse thoroughly.
  Before gluing the murals, do not forget to remove the skirting boards, sockets and switches, after having de-energized them first.
• Now you need to remove the old wallpaper and look at the plane of the wall. If there are cracks, then they expand with a chisel.
• We also tap the plaster. If there are exfoliations, then they get off.
• Now all sinks are putty (see Let's consider how to plaster walls with gypsum plaster.).
• For this, you can perfectly use a dry mixture. It is applied with a spatula.
• Now you need to wait until it dries completely and walk on the surface with a building mesh. So the surface is completely leveled.
• After that, a primer is applied on the surface. It is better to apply deep penetration liquid.
• When working with photo wallpaper and within the next 24 hours after graduation, it is absolutely necessary to close all windows and windows, turn off the air conditioner, and there should not be even the smallest draft. But at the same time, the room temperature should not be higher than 20 degrees.

Wall mural how to stick now will consider in more detail.

Everything is done in several stages:

• First, on the floor you need to collect the whole picture as it is drawn in the source.
• Then glue on the wall to draw a horizontal line.
• Glue one part of the future picture with glue and place it on the wall, while combining the edges with a pre-drawn line. It is important to remember that in order for the photo wallpaper to lie evenly, it is necessary to press it against the wall from the center and smooth it with a special felt to the edges.
• Each subsequent part must be combined exactly in the joint with the previous one.Do not worry, small bubbles will disappear when the glue under the wallpaper is completely dry.
• When everything is glued, it remains to remove the excess canvas. This will require a sharp clerical knife. After that, you can return to the baseboard. That's all, the design work with the room design is over. Now you can arrange a holiday and celebrate the successful completion of the repair amid beautiful photo wallpapers.
