Buying wallpapers and necessary materials

Before you glue wallpaper, you need to measure the room and draw a plan of it taking into account the length, width and height of the room, as well as windows and doors. Calculation should be done after checking the length of the roll - it can be as 10, and 15, and 20 meters. The length of the roll is divided by the height of the wall, the resulting integer will mean the number of whole strips in the roll. The perimeter of the room with the deduction of windows and doors is divided by the width of the roll, while the total number of strips is obtained. It is divided by the number of entire strips in a roll, and the required number of rolls is obtained. If the roll is divided into strips with practically no residue, it is better to buy one more roll for gluing the space above the door and windows. For wallpaper with a large pattern, which requires selection, it is necessary to take into account the allowance for the selection of the picture.

In addition to the wallpaper you will need:

• Materials for wall leveling;
• The adhesive glue chosen in accordance with the recommendations of the wallpaper manufacturer. For water-intensive walls - concrete or plastered - a primer is also necessary, preferably from the same manufacturer;
• Soft roller and brush for processing corners and other critical areas;
• Dishes for glue, for example, a plastic bucket. The width of the container should be sufficient to wet the roller with glue;
• Solid roller for rolling wallpaper;
• Scissors or clerical knife for cropping wallpaper;
• Plumb.

If the wallpaper loosely leaves and fades, you can remove only the top decorative layer, leaving the base.

As a rule, it is more convenient to start wide glazing from the most noticeable angle - the corners are often curved, and if they are centered on the canvas, creases are obtained, the wallpaper frowns, and they have to be cut. You can cut the wallpaper on the canvas in advance, but you can apply it as you paste it, rolling the roll directly against the wall, which you have to paste. The second method is more economical in terms of wallpaper consumption, however, it is more suitable for monochrome wallpaper for painting.
