Good afternoon dear friends!
Have you ever yourself glued wallpaper? Or maybe you are going to do it soon, because it decided to bring a bright accent in the interior of your home?
In general, all joking aside, as pasting the walls with wallpaper, ceilings or interior elementsAs someone like - it's still the same amusing story. Why? Because it is necessary to know the number of secrets and nuances, so that later it was not so insulting and annoying for your time, money, and the result of your work! Incorrect calculation of the amount of material (wallpaper and glue), are not properly prepared walls, non-compliance with the time of pasting, the sequence of work... etc. So today I took 6 of the most common pitfalls that you need to know and get around at the decor of your room with wallpaper, while achieving the best result.
Immediately I say, that the result of certain types of work on the line is connected not only with the knowledge, experience, but also an essential tool. For example, for pasting wallpaper you need - a level (preferably a laser), folding ruler, knife, scissors, roller, brush, etc.
1.Error - pasting of walls without preparation. In fact, it may have the opposite effect and to identify surface defects of the walls, ie bumps and cracks. Not to mention the fact that the wallpaper, simply just will not hold well on the wall and eventually begin to peel! So before you get started, make sure that the surface is flat (no cracks or drops), clean (dust free) and well absorbed (absorption). For example, how to check that the wall surface is absorbent?
Take a wet sponge and press it against the wall and if you drop quickly slip on the surface - wall absorbs bad, and means necessary to apply a primer to the surface of the wall, one, and preferably two layers, suitable for the adhesive you are planning use.
2.Error - observance of time. In the rush, many often do not comply with this subtlety. And in vain! Peel off the wallpaper look not very good, to say the least, even if they are very expensive. Therefore, the classic paper wallpaper to be coated with glue on the floor, but only for the stick.
It is best to cut three strips (fabric) Wallpaper immediately and in turn cause the glue on them (about 10 minutes) and only after that paste the first strip of wallpaper to the wall.
3.Error - start gluing the angle and finish at the corner. With 100% certainty say that the angle of 90 degrees is extremely rare, and therefore it is not necessary to begin to hang wallpaper from the corner, or going to the adhesion of about fifth leaf wallpaper you will see a disappointing result - "at random and random. " It is wise to start with the center of the wall, and the use level to draw a line on the wall, on which you and will stick the first web. This will give you a 100% guarantee that the wallpaper will be flat across the surface of the wall, regardless of the curvature of the corners.
Do not forget that in contrast to the inner corner, outer corner is always exposed to mechanical stress, that can quickly lead to peeling wallpaper. So the wallpaper should enter at an angle of at least 5 -10 cm.
4.Error - wallpaper glue joint to joint. Do not forget that once the glue is dry, the wallpaper will shrink and if you glued wallpaper butt joint, a gap is formed between the webs!
Therefore it is best to hang wallpaper with little in the hlostom, and then after the glue has dried prune perfectly straight edges using level.
5.Error - not quite appropriate wallpaper. We live in a golden age of wallpaper, when they are again in the trend, and hence the choice of patterns, colors and materials is almost endless. Therefore, pre-read with what type of wallpaper should be used in a particular room.
For example, vinyl is preferred to be in a room with high humidity (kitchen, bathroom), while the textile - Living.
6.Error - underestimate the number of wallpapers. It's a classic! Even if you measured the surface of its walls, you will definitely need an extra roll or two! So, if the design or pattern is quite simple and repetitive enough to buy 15% more than you have calculated, if the complex - 25%. Do not forget, you have to customize the image, not to mention the fact that it would be necessary to stitch the edges and pattern paintings on window and door openings.
