Wallpaper gluing - the final stage of finishing the apartment, giving them an aesthetic appearance.
Wallpaper should be glued to the prepared surface, without various visible defects, so before you proceed to this stage, you need to align the walls under the wallpaper.
Before direct alignment, it is necessary to answer two important questions: how equal should the walls be and whether they need to withstand their verticality and the correctness of right angles.
The answers to these questions depend, first of all, on the placement of furniture in the room.
After all, if you plan to put a closet in the room to the ceiling, the violation of the geometry of the room will immediately become noticeable to the naked eye.
The technology of wall leveling under the wallpaper begins with the stage of measuring the verticality of the walls and their smoothness, which is carried out using a level and a long cord up to two meters in length.
The geometry of the room is determined by measuring the diagonals of the room.

Typically, ideally they should be equal, but such ideals are rare.
In the case where the deviations are 5 - 10 millimeters, the work will be quite simple, rather than with large deviations.
Stages of wall alignment for wallpaper depend on the method of alignment, which can be done with various building materials.
You can find out about the ways below.

The basic methods of wall leveling for wallpapering include the leveling with plasterboard, putty and plaster.
Each method has its own characteristics and is applied in suitable cases.
We use gypsum cardboard
The leveling of the walls under the wallpaper with plasterboard is suitable in case they are too uneven or need to work in a short time.
This method is the most environmentally friendly and easy to use. In addition, drywall has a fairly good heat and sound insulation.
On the reverse side of the drywall sheet, apply a small amount of glue on the grid with a 30 centimeter pitch.
Then the sheet is glued to the surface of the wall, leveling by level with light tapping.
It is recommended to secure the fastening of the drywall sheet in some places with the use of impact dowels.
We use shpaklevku
Aligning the walls for wallpaper putty produce using two spatulas of different sizes.
The first spatula should be no more than 10 centimeters wide, it is intended for picking up the putty and applying it to the second tool.

The size of the second spatula depends on the unevenness of the walls, but can be at least 40 cm.
The starting putty is applied in two layers, between which a paint net is used. A mesh is needed to prevent micro-cracking of the surface.
The direction of the layers must be mutually perpendicular, with this arrangement alignment is made in all directions on the surface.
Before starting work, the surface is treated with antifungal agents, as well as a special deep penetration primer capable of strengthening the base.
When working with a spatula, it must be taken into account that the thickness of the putty layer determines its inclination angle.
The larger the angle, the smaller the layer of applied putty.
The right edge of the spatula should slightly outperform the left edge. The spatula should be periodically cleaned from the putty putty.
We use plaster
Plaster is leveled when the walls are too rough.
It should be taken into account that leveling with plaster is rather labor-consuming and long-lasting process, since a new layer is applied only to the completely dried plaster.
As a plaster, cement-sand mortar, clay-cement mortar, clay-gypsum mortar and calc-gypsum mortar can be used.
Before starting work, the surface of the wall is cleaned of dirt, fragile areas are removed, and the surface itself is primed.

Next, using a level along the edges of the wall, two vertical beacons are fixed.
The work itself is done in three stages: spraying, applying soil, covering.
At the stage of spraying a continuous layer is applied with liquid plaster, filling it with all irregularities, cracks and seams in the wall.
Plaster at this stage must contain at least 60% water. Then the primer is applied, this mixture is much thicker than the previous solution and contains only 35% water.
Each layer of soil is leveled. At the last stage, the surface of the walls is smoothed with a thin layer of plaster( 2 - 4 mm).
For lasting adhesion of the covering to the primer layer, the latter should not be completely dry. In case it is dry, the soil is moistened with water.
Service prices for
The cost of wall alignment for wallpaper depends on several factors: the method of alignment, the footage, the material of the wall, the region where the service is being performed.
As a rule, the price of leveling the walls for wallpaper using plasterboard and putty is slightly lower than the price for leveling with plaster, and averages from 80 to 150 rubles per square meter.
The price for leveling walls using plaster is from 170 to 280 rubles per square meter.
