Note! Conduct pasting is necessary before the start of the heating season. Near the battery is set sufficiently high temperature that fabric wrinkles, reducing service life.

So, it's time to tell you how to hang wallpaper.

The first step - careful calculation.

After cutting the sheets can move on to the next step.

It facilitates the work of that wide web in most cases, non-woven, and as you know, non-woven wallpaper does not require spreading glue and well kept on the wall, covered with a layer of adhesive composition.

As for the adhesive, there are special adhesives for non-woven wallpaper, recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Remember that the maximum adhesive wallpaper compatibility and ensures the highest quality and long life of the coating.

vinyl paper + - 24 hours;
Nonwoven + vinyl - from 48 hours.

Pasting awkward places

Sticking wallpaper for battery

But the ceiling broad sheets glued easier. In this process still takes part two, and the number of sheets that have glue drops significantly.

So, how to hang wallpaper behind the battery. In this case, we will have to cut the roll into smaller bands.

The best option would be cut from a single web destined for gluing flat wall portion. There is even one difficulty - Match drawing. If the dimensions you can still guess, it's to make the figure coincided - is problematic.
