Finally
When choosing finishing materials for an apartment or a house, one should not proceed from simplicity and speed of work, these criteria are almost always erroneous.
Before you buy any specific building material you need to at least superficially study their features and technical characteristics. Calculate benefits economically and in use. Present them visually in the room where they are planned to be used.
The speed and ease of installation almost always comes out more expensive in comparison with reliability, practicality and durability. What to choose anyway: the wallpaper for the plaster or the plaster itself will tell the video in this article.
Plaster wallpaper has another significant advantage, though not in comparison with plaster, but with other wallpaper options - they do not need to be customized to fit the picture (in any case, if it does not provide for this). In our hall, non-woven wallpaper for stucco imitating granite chips is glued. Color - a mix of gray with pale pink. It looks great, and most importantly visually expands the space. In pasting, they are no different from ordinary foiselin wallpaper - glue is applied directly to the wall. By the way, due to the fact that there was no need for a fit, we saved on footage. With wallpaper with a picture, a lot of sentiment is lost, sometimes a whole tape is thrown from one roll in total.
