And you know how to glue wallpaper?

Who among us in our lives has never had to glue the wallpaper? Perhaps, such people can not be found. After all, this is one of the most popular finishing materials. Probably, in the apartment of every average person, if not all the walls, then some are accurately covered with wallpaper. What they deserve such popularity? Of course, a huge variety of species, acceptable prices and relative ease of repair.

Despite all this, not everyone knows how to properly glue the wallpaper. This process requires a responsible approach, because otherwise the repair will need to be done again very soon. So, where to start? That's right, with buying the right amount of wallpaper. To calculate how many rolls we need, we need to calculate the perimeter of the room and divide this value by the width of the canvas. Usually this figure is 53 cm. We found the number of paintings that is necessary for our room. Next, add to the height of the room 10 cm (for leveling the wallpaper) and multiply this value by the one that turned out in the previous action. This is the total length of the material. Divide it by 10 and get the required number of rolls.

Wallpapers bought, now you need to prepare the walls. To do this, remove the old finishing material. If the wallpaper does not "want" to leave its "permanent residence", moisten it with water. This can be done with a spray gun or even a washing vacuum cleaner. If this also does not help, iron them with an iron through a damp rag.

Before you start to glue the wallpaper, carefully inspect the walls. You can detect cracks or fallen off pieces of plaster. All the shortcomings and irregularities will have to be eliminated, if, of course, you want your walls to look good after repair.

And now we glue the wallpaper with our own hands. Of course, the easiest way to work with the material that does not have a picture. In this case, you do not have to customize the canvas, creating an effect of a one-piece coating. But the wallpaper with the picture is much more beautiful, therefore, most likely, we will deal with them. Well, it means, it is necessary to pay special attention to the combination of the image elements.

You can use two methods - to glue the wallpaper butt or overlap. If you choose the latter option, then start from the window, so that the joints of the canvas are not very noticeable. It is worth noting that the wallpaper is only glued to butting, otherwise the seams will be noticeably highlighted after applying the color.

To smooth the canvas is best of all a roller, and not a rag. For paper versions, you can use the second option, but here are vinyl analogues or wallpaper with relief patterns so you can spoil it.

With the advent of a huge number of diverse species of this material, the person has added problems. No, of course, a wide range of goods in modern stores allows everyone to create a unique style and make an individual design of the apartment. However, this diversity raises questions. For example, how to glue a bamboo wallpaper. This is an unusually beautiful natural material, but how to work with it? There is no significant difference from the pasting of simple wallpapers, it is important only to get special glue for them. In any case, you must first read the information on the product label, and then start to work.
