So that the wall pasted over with the wallpaper for many years does not require repair, you need to choose the right adhesive composition and type of wallpaper. For rooms with high humidity, products on a dense vinyl base are suitable, for bedrooms - silk-screen printing and non-woven. Gluing will require glue suitable for these products.
In recent decades, many new types of wallpaper and glue have appeared on sale. In order for the wall decoration to be performed efficiently, you need to be able to choose the right components. This will allow not only to hide some surface defects, but also not to carry out even cosmetic repairs for many years.
What wallpaper to choose?
New in recent years - wallpapers suitable for repeated staining. They are made on the basis of non-woven fabric. This fibrous material consists of textiles and cellulose. It differs in that it does not stretch when wet and does not shrink after the glue dries. These products well cover cracks and other defects of the wall surface, and are easily removed if necessary.
Vinyl wallpapers are classified as washable. These products can be used for decoration of rooms with high humidity: kitchens, sanitary rooms, dressing rooms. Their disadvantage is that they are airtight. That is, they do not pass water to the wall while washing the surface, but also do not allow condensate to evaporate from under the finishing material. Among vinyl wallpapers, several groups are distinguished: with foamed vinyl, compact vinyl and with increased density.
Products with foamed vinyl have a surface in the form of a pronounced relief and have a fairly large thickness. This wallpaper is resistant to ultraviolet radiation, so they will not fade if they are pasted over a loggia or sunny room. Environmentally friendly material is used for the production of dense vinyl wallpapers, therefore they have a certificate of European independent environmental impact assessment.
Silk screen printing is a flat vinyl wallpaper. These products are more suitable for a children's room, bedroom, hall. Experts argue that for the kitchen, bathroom and corridors, you can use only wallpaper based on dense vinyl, as they have significantly greater moisture resistance and durability. When gluing, the fact is taken into account that when wet these canvases stretch a little, and when dried, they compress. For this reason, with the wrong choice of glue between the sheets, a fairly large gap can form.
