Silk-screen printing

Heavy vinyl is an excellent solution for rooms with uneven walls. These wallpapers perfectly hide all defects and highlight the dignity of the room.

Heavy vinyl is suitable for hallways and commercial premises, because it is in such places that wall defects appear most often. Compact vinyl is also a great fit for such needs. Many varieties of compact vinyl have the texture of natural materials and hide defects.

Work steps

If you plan to glue the ceiling, then its surface must be properly cleaned. Once the wall is cleaned, it must be leveled. If there are cracks on the surface, they are buried.
2. The second stage is gluing. And here the basis of the material is of great importance. You can not choose the best glue for vinyl wallpaper, because for materials on paper and non-woven base adhesives are selected different. Cutting wallpaper is, however, standard. It is necessary to measure the height of the walls and cut the material, adding about 10 cm to the height.
3. The sheets of wallpaper will have to be spread first, and then wait until they "fit." Sheet preparation time is usually indicated on the package. If the material is very dense, then the period of its preparation is long. In thin wallpaper, it is smaller.
4. Non-woven wallpaper glue easily, without problems.

Choice of glue

It is better to buy quality glue and not be afraid of the consequences. It is better to buy compositions in the checked shops to avoid fakes.

Glue on the ceiling

Wallpaper glue

When choosing wallpaper, you need to consider them properties. It is important to remember that wallpaper for the ceiling should have a slippery surface for good joining of the seams between them and actually stick to the ceiling. For these purposes, best suited vinyl wallpaper.

Secondly, you need to prepare a workplace. Ensure safe movement under the ceiling itself. For this, racks are assembled on the same level with each other so that no obstacles arise, and the risk of injury in the process of work is minimized.

In order for the wallpaper to hold well on the ceiling, and the seams firmly joined together, the glue must be as thick as sour cream. For these purposes, the best glue Quelyd (Kelid).

We glue wallpaper onto the ceiling The following tools will be needed:

• construction knife;
• metal tape measure or centimeter;
• glue dilution tank;
• roller;
• ruler is greater than the width of the wallpaper to cut a smooth edge;
• metal spatula;
• brush for applying glue;
• plastic spatula;
• plastic small roller for pressing down at the interface of the wallpaper.

When all the necessary materials and tools are at hand, you can start sticking.

First, glue is applied to the ceiling with a roller. Then, unwinding the roll, apply its edge to the plastered ceiling, continue to unwind the roll with one hand. At the same time, use the other hand to smooth the canvas with a spatula. At the end of the sheet can be cut, leaving a small margin, and finally align with a ruler or a metal spatula.

Clay Kelid

The first stripe of wallpaper is pasted on without much difficulty, since it is not fit in. If the wallpaper needs to be driven under the baguette, then a small overlap is made, and when the canvas is well fixed on the ceiling, it is carefully cut off under the ruler. You need to try to make the first strip of wallpaper glued exactly.

In the same way, the subsequent canvases should be pasted, with the only difference that the joints must be carefully connected to each other, and also well pressed down with a plastic roller so that the wallpaper will not come off over time and the seam between the canvases will not be noticeable .

Meter wallpapers

Fitting joints

Meter wallpapers have the following advantages:

• Firstly, money is saved, as the cost of one roll of wallpaper 1 m wide is less than the cost of two rolls of normal width 53 cm.
• Secondly, it is possible to save time and effort gluing cloths, as less cloths are required for pasting walls.
• And, finally, thirdly, the number of joints between wallpaper panels is reduced, and thus there are practically no seams, which generally decorates the interior.

It should be remembered about the shortcomings when using meter wallpaper.

• It is necessary to prepare high-quality surfaces so that uneven walls do not affect what the joint between the canvases will be, even if the work is carried out with wallpaper of monochromatic coloring that does not require the selection of a pattern.
• Also, when working with meter wallpaper, you need an assistant, while wallpaper with a standard width of 53 cm can be glued on your own.
• If the room is nonstandard, it may be difficult to adjust the webs due to the lack of wallpaper length.

The following tools are needed:

• glue;
• primer;
• construction knife;
• scissors;
• long ruler (meter);
• rubber roller;
• plastic roller for joints;
• wide brush;
• plumb;
• pencil;
• clean rags.

Matching the picture

Before starting work, you need to prepare the wall surfaces. First, a primer or a more liquid wallpaper glue is applied on the walls (the cheapest can be used). It is necessary to treat the walls with a primer in order to improve the properties of the adhesive composition and ensure a tight fit of the web against the wall.

Foam moldings need to be fixed before the beginning of the pasting process.

To begin with, measure a distance of 1 m in length, and then draw a vertical line at this point using a plumb line, a long ruler, and a pencil.

Then the height of the wall from the curb or ceiling to the floor is measured, it is advisable to add 5-10 cm as a margin. To find out the number of canvases, the length of the roll (indicated on the package) is divided by the measurement obtained. If the wallpaper contains an image, then when cutting canvases it is necessary to remember that it is necessary to combine the drawing.

Technology of pasting walls with meter-high wallpaper

Priming walls before sticking

• Pre-cooked glue is applied to the surface of the walls.
• The first canvas of the wallpaper is adjusted to the marked line and the height of the ceiling, not protruding beyond the line. Only then can the sheet be glued to the wall.
• Then it is necessary to squeeze air out from under the wallpaper using smoothing movements using a rubber roller.
• Next, use a construction knife or a metal spatula to cut off excess wallpaper. Wet wallpaper should be allowed to dry and then cut, otherwise they may tear.

How to dock

• If the surfaces of the walls are even, then docking the next canvas is not difficult.
• When gluing the second sheet, it is necessary to join it with the previous one along the entire length, leveling the wallpaper and pushing out the remnants of glue.
• To make the joint even, you can not pull the roller wallpaper. The joint will disperse immediately after drying the canvases.

Work in hard-to-reach places

We start to glue the meter wallpaper

• When pasting the corner, an overlap of 2-3 cm is made on the wall to be pasted. The extra wallpaper is cut to the desired size with a construction knife.
• When pasting the wall under the batteries or above the door, measure the required distance and cut the required length of the strip, without disturbing the construction of the pattern during the docking.
