Sticky flizeline wallpaper - yes or no?
Choosing a coating for the ceiling or walls, you are most likely wondering - whether flizeline wallpaper is harmful.

However, both of these materials are breathable and ecological.
You can easily choose for any room in your house( nursery, kitchen or bathroom) this kind of wallpaper from a wide range of color and stylistic solutions. And to choose today there is from what - different widths, colors, textures and drawings allow you to decorate the ceiling and walls in a diverse style, to embody the most unexpected fantasy. And believe me, sticking flizeline wallpaper by yourself will give you only pleasant moments, make you believe that you are a professional in this business too!
If you are worried by the technology of gluing non-woven wallpaper in the width of a meter or more, you should know that their gluing is no different from the narrower ones. But the advantage of wide wallpaper is that the number of joints is halved, which means that if properly glued, they will not be noticeable on the wall. However, there is one small drawback: this width can create certain difficulties in the work. But given that the gluing of wallpaper on a non-woven base does not require the application of an adhesive layer directly on the panel, the meter width of this kind of coating will cause less trouble than any other.
Sticky fliseline wallpaper by yourself - what do you need to know?
So, you have stopped on gluing non-woven wallpaper on the ceiling or walls. But first you need to do all the preparatory work.
- First of all, the material needs to be bought, and for this purpose, calculate the necessary number of rolls.
If it is sufficient to know the height and width of each of them for calculating the material that will go into the decoration of the walls, it is important for the ceiling to determine the direction of motion when sticking( along or across), the length of the panels and, as a consequence, the number of rolls depends on this. Since you do not need to glue fliseline wallpapers, you do not need to be attached to the light source in the room( window).Decisive in this matter are your individual opportunities - as you will be more comfortable to work - with shorter or longer cuts.
Knowing the length of the canvas and the size of the wall, across which the cloth will lie, you can calculate the necessary footage of wallpaper regardless of what you are gluing - horizontal or vertical surfaces. Already in the store, determined by the choice of coverage, divide the total length in centimeters( do not forget to subtract the area of door and window openings in the wall) by the width of the wallpaper that you decide to buy. The resulting number is the number of required bands. Now look at how many meters in one roll( on the packaging it is indicated).This way, you will know how many bands you will get from one roll. And it is not difficult to calculate the number of rolls you need.
- After purchasing the material, you need to purchase glue.
It is often enough that the glue package is specified that it is suitable for non-woven wallpaper. Also read on what area the pack of glue is designed. Typically, on the ceiling in the room there is enough and one pack, and for the walls it will take three or four, but it is worth making sure of this when buying.
Technology for gluing non-woven wallpaper: simple, fast, easy!
As mentioned in the beginning, the technology of work is very simple. It is necessary to clean the surface of the old coating: wash off the whitewash, remove the paint or old wallpaper, primetovat and allow to dry. The application of marking both on the wall and on the ceiling will greatly facilitate your work and provide an ideal result.
The surface of the wall or ceiling is spread with a layer of glue that is slightly larger than necessary for cutting. The panels are also cut with a margin of about 10 cm. The first strip is laid out strictly at the mark, and using a rubber spatula, smooth the glued panel first in the center, then diagonally and downwards( herringbone).The next cut is applied exactly along the boundary of the previous one.
Some complications can cause flocking of wallpaper in the corners, especially if there are protrusions of complex shape. It should be remembered that the material we work with does not like overlaps, so a complex configuration involves a piece of jewelry that the beginner will be hard to cope with without help, because it will be necessary to cut out a piece of the desired shape and preferably not to be mistaken. Therefore, for such cases, we propose to watch a video about the gluing of non-woven wallpaper. After that, you will be able to cope with the task quickly, even enjoy the ease of work and the effectiveness of the result!
