process It is very important to understand that many owners set the task of pasting an arch of plasterboard with wallpaper so as to perfectly fitthem by drawing. This is very difficult, but there are simple ways out of this serious situation. Many advise simply to select wallpaper for the arch in such a way that on them there was no basis for drawing or patterns, but there was a necessary color. In this case, the arch will look even better, since the lack of patterns will accent people's attention on the object. This is especially true for those cases where the main wallpaper has many bright graphic elements. There is also a good option - just choose wallpaper that have a different color. Definitely, it is important to choose exactly those wallpapers that will be combined with the main ones. Also, they should not have lines and other elements that will adversely affect the overall appearance of the room.
Quite often there is a situation where the pasting of the arch occurs rather slowly, so the glue applied to the wallpaper can already dry at one end of the material. Often, people prefer to just finish it off with the case faster, but it turns out that the wallpaper is not completely glued. To avoid such trouble, you can use a small brush and apply glue to the wallpaper during the process.
It should also be clearly understood that often the absence of wallpaper on the arch can look much more solid and harmonious.
The process of pasting the arch with
wallpaper Before you can decorate the arch with wallpaper, you need to do all the necessary work around it. Further, the process of arranging the wall along the sides of the opening takes place. Strips should be cut so that on the inner surface of the arch accounted for about 3 cm wallpaper. On this part of the material, you should also make cutouts that will greatly facilitate pressing the wallpaper against the wall surface.
Next, cut 2 panels of wallpaper, so that their width was half a centimeter more than the width of the arch. Unambiguously, it is worthwhile to approach the cutting of the panels as carefully as possible, because even if the material is a few millimeters shorter than necessary, this can significantly affect the appearance of the room.
Bonding begins at the bottom of the arch, and continues to the very arch. It is in the area of the vault that the wallpaper should overlap. If the wallpaper has a pattern, you should be as careful as possible so that the image coincides. With simple wallpaper, there should not be any problems.
Also a serious problem during the pasting of the wallpaper is the presence on the walls of outlets and switches. There is nothing complicated. It is enough simply to turn off the electricity in the dwelling, which is the most important condition, and then the screws of the sockets are loosened and, if necessary, all this can be removed and wallpapered. After this, it is necessary to make a suitable cutout around the socket, which will help to easily install the external part of the power source. If it is a question of wires, which are often carried out along the perimeter walls, they should be carried out in the area of skirting. In another case, the wires can significantly complicate the process of wallpapering, especially in the case of arches. To know how to glue an arch in the event that there are wires and sockets nearby, you can also consult specialists.
Secondary features of wallpapering arches
Quite often it happens that the arch has an unusual shape that does not allow you to wallpaper them in a classic way. Often, in order to avoid problems, in such situations simply do not use wallpaper, because it's much easier to cover the wall of beauty, or some kind of finishing material. Indeed, it looks pretty good, especially when you reach the perfectly flat surface of the archway.
With the unusual shape of the arch, the following actions must be performed:
- cut out the panel, which, approximately, will cover half the inner surface of the arch;
- leave 3 cm wallpaper on the sides, as with the usual method of gluing;
- after the first cloth has been glued, it is necessary to cut out the second one. If you measure the required length is very difficult, it is better to cut the cloth a little longer than the one you want;
- we apply the cloth to the necessary part of the arch and cut off excess material;
- we apply glue on a cloth and we glue, as well as in a classical way - lapping.
Fixing arch arch
For pasting arch arch, we need to cut out wallpaper, the width of which should fully correspond to the width of the archway. The length in this case should be slightly increased. The necessity of such an action is that in this way it is possible to achieve a complete coincidence of the figure, if it is present. We glue strips to the vault and carefully iron it. The presence of bubbles and unevenness is unacceptable. It is also important that each corner of the wallpaper is pinned and matched with other parts of the material. Otherwise, the wallpaper will gradually peel off and lose its solid appearance.
Other features of gluing arches
If the arch has racks, which must also be pasted, you should seriously analyze the situation. Most often, the stands are wood materials or gypsum cadona elements. In these cases there is no need to paste. The maximum that can be done is to cover with beauty or whitewash. Also, the racks, if they are present, often have a certain relief, so glue the wallpaper on such a surface is strictly not recommended. After a short time, the material will begin to exfoliate, and even then you will again have to think about another coating.
Many experts recommend using wallpaper to cover elements of an arch that have nothing in common with the main ones with which the walls are covered. However, it is important to choose just such material, which will be elegantly combined with other elements of the dwelling. Often people prefer to simply cover the arch elements with whitewashing. Due to this, everyone's attention is focused on the ideal form of the arch structure.
Quite often an arch is glued to the corner. This is also a chic way that creates a good appearance of the arch structure, and also focuses on its corner elements. It is important to choose a corner that has dark tones, if the wallpaper is light. In the case of dark wallpaper, you can choose any color of the corners, if only these corner elements emphasize the solidity of the home.
If you do not know what you can glue an arch in your house, it's best to carefully analyze the shape of the design, if it's complicated, and make a decision. Paint and whitewashing are classic methods, which certainly will not harm the appearance of the dwelling.
