Despite the fact that the building market almost every week pleases us with interesting novelties, the most popular finishing material still are wallpapers. Moreover, many innovations are also present in their assortment. Instead of the usual paper wallpaper, which, unfortunately, is very quickly deformed, velor wallpaper, which combines the best characteristics of this finishing material with a stylish design, is gaining popularity. It is about them "House of Dreams" today offers to learn to its readers.
Characteristics of velor wallpapers
Velor wallpapers belong to the class of semi-elite finishing materials. They consist of two layers. The first layer is a paper or non-woven base, and the second is the velvet villi, which are laid on the base at a certain angle. Interestingly, the length of the villi, which is used to create the canvas, should not exceed 1mm. Of course, such a laborious process can not be done manually, and the wallpaper base is first covered with glue, and then loaded into a special press filled with villi. The press mounts the velours to the base, making the wallpaper look like a monolithic canvas. If the design of the wallpaper requires the presence of patterns or drawings, these details are created with the help of glue and a special way of drying.
The main advantage of Velor wallpaper is its density. Due to the fact that the wallpaper consists of two layers, this coating does not wear out and is not rubbed for a very long period. In addition, a special composition of the wallpaper, namely the presence of velor fibers, gives this rewind material soundproofing properties.
Despite the fact that the texture of these wallpapers resembles a fabric, they show high stability before burning out. Velor wallpapers do not burn out even in those rooms where they are in open contact with the sun's rays.
However, like any other finishing material, velor wallpapers also have their drawbacks:
- firstly, the fleecy wallpaper surface is prone to dust accumulation. This type of wallpaper is not recommended for use in rooms with a high level of contamination - in the kitchen, in the corridor, in the bathroom, etc.;
- secondly, because the wallpaper consist of a fabric texture, they very quickly absorb foreign odors;
- third, velor wallpaper requires special care. If a stain or a build-up of dirt forms on their surface, it is possible to remove contamination only by dry cleaning,any detergent will lead to deformation of the texture. Also, this type of wallpaper can be cleaned with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a special nozzle. But with too much and deep contamination, it may be necessary to completely replace the blade.
The process of gluing the velor wallpaper
They are glued in almost the same way as wallpaper of any other type. But, since such wallpaper is somewhat denser than other similar materials, special glue should be used for their mounting.
Velor wallpaper for walls are very often produced in large and wide canvases, which simply can not be pasted alone. Apply glue to the back of the cloths very carefully, avoiding blurring the edges and the front side of the wallpaper. If the glue still falls on the surface of the material, it should be removed as soon as possible with a soft cloth.
If there are patterns and drawings on the wallpaper, in the process of gluing them, you must closely monitor the coincidence of the edges and joints. After gluing on the wallpaper you need to walk a soft roller to finally level their surface.
Velor wallpaper in the interior of the room
Looking at the walls covered with velor wallpaper, it seems as if they are surrounded by a cloth, and this gives the interior room an unusual coziness and warmth. Such luxurious wallpaper look great both in modern and in classical interiors.
The advantage of this type of wallpaper is that their texture dissipates the sunlight in a special way. In the daytime, the villi material creates unusual glows, filling the room with softness and light, and at night the wallpaper seems to acquire depth, making the room mysterious and rich.
The complex process of creating velor wallpaper allows manufacturers to realize almost all shades of color. And if the shades of other materials, as a rule, are limited, then in the line of this product you can find almost all the tones and semitones.
Velor wallpaper, due to its soft texture, is ideal for decorating bedrooms. They seem to set the tone for the whole interior, making it cozy, unique and original. Particularly harmonious are the interiors, where the texture of the velor wallpaper echoes with other details of the situation. For example, you can select similar curtains, upholstery, bedspreads, pillows, etc. on the wallpaper.
Velor wallpapers can be used in living rooms or study rooms. If you want to focus on modernity and eccentricity, combine these wallpapers with other covers. For example, very interesting look rooms, where velor wallpaper used as occasional accents, and additional material are the wallpaper with a smooth glossy surface.
The various patterns and patterns present on the wallpaper make them a harmonious complement to any interior. Many designers like to use wallpaper with velor coating for decorating interiors in the style of vintage, Shebbi-Chic, Provence, etc. For less romantic styles, one-tone wallpaper is perfect, which laconically and unobtrusively complement the interior with new colors.
Despite the complexity of care, the velor wallpaper is consideredone of the most reliable modern finishing materials. With careful operation this coating can last for several decades, absolutely not deforming and not losing its original brightness.
