Today, the market for decoration materials presents many different wallpapers, which differ in the way of gluing, texture and care rules. But among all the options the most convenient to use are self-adhesive wallpaper for walls. They differ from traditional ones in that they have an adhesive on the inside, covered with a special film. The front side is made of cork, PVC or fabric. In the first case, the wallpaper has a nice slightly rough texture, characteristic of a natural cork . In PVC wallpaper, the top layer has a glossy coating that stretches slightly. Fabric canvases look very elegant and, as a rule, decorated with a photo sketch.
Properties of self-adhesive wallpaper
In comparison with standard wallpaper, which need to be attached to a special adhesive, self-adhesive films have a number of advantages, namely:
- do not need to use glue;
- accelerated the process of repair work;
- you can quickly transform the interior;
- have a high level of moisture resistance, which allows you to glue them in the kitchen and bathroom;
- excellent color rendition, resistance to acidic solutions;
- with their help you can upgrade not only the walls of the apartment, but also furniture;
- the cost of self-adhesive wallpaper is much lower compared to standard paper variants.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the simplicity in care. You can clean the wallpaper with a damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner. If it is paper on an adhesive basis, it is better to use a soft, dry cloth that will remove dust accumulations.
Of the shortcomings can be identified only one point - some PVC-based linen is too thin, because of which highlights the shortcomings of the wall. Therefore, if you decide to use them, you will need to pre-level the surface.
How to glue self-adhesive wallpaper for walls?
The main advantages of such wallpapers is the ease of operation. For gluing it will be necessary to perform several elementary actions:
- Attach the paper to the wall (start better from the top).
- Slowly remove the film, while pressing the bare part in the wall.
- If air bubbles are formed, then pierce them with a needle and release what has accumulated inside.
It is desirable to glue the linen with overlapping 1 cm. Glue the linen from the window. In this case, the incident light will not illuminate the joints, therefore, attention to them will not be emphasized.
Use cases
These wallpapers have many ways to use. First of all, they are very convenient to glue the walls in the room. This can be done both during the overhaul, with the pasting of all four walls, and to revive the bored interior. Some designers even cut animal figures or geometric figures out of monophonic wallpaper and glue them in certain corners or around the perimeter of the wall. Thanks to this, you can emphasize the individuality of the interior and make it unique.
It is also possible to use linens on an adhesive basis during operative repair in a room. This minimizes the amount of rough work, and, therefore, even people can paste the wallpaper without adequate experience in repair work. These wallpapers can be used in such rooms as a kitchen, bathroom, living room and even a bedroom.
