It is generally believed that gluing non-woven wallpaper on a paper base is not an easy task. This is due to the fact that you will not have a very ordinary procedure. Since the structure of the wallpaper has its own specifics - then the process itself will happen a little differently, after all, it will not be necessary to paste it in the usual way. This means that it is necessary to apply glue to the walls, and not to impregnate the wallpaper itself. This, by the way, is the main difference of this type of material from all other types of wallpaper.
Required tools
To work in the first stage you will need a tool that should be at hand:
- roller;
- brush;
- wide brush.
Step-by-step instruction for gluing non-woven wallpaper
Starting with the fact that we measure the length of the first fabric, it is important to leave good allowances at the top and bottom. We spread the wall with glue, using a brush or a brush, we put the first strip on it.
We carefully and gently smooth everything with a cloth or roller from the center to the sides. If you suddenly notice the overhangs of excess glue on the edges - they should be immediately removed with a damp cloth. The specificity of this work is that the fabric is strong, and glue will not pass through it.
When the strip is pasted, proceed to the next. It will be much easier if you use solid wallpaper that does not have patterns, but if there is a picture, then the second strip should clearly correspond to the first, there must be absolute coincidences of each line and each element, so it's worth to be prepared for the fact that there will be a lot of scraps. You can use them under the windows and doors, for gluing the partition. After all, the likelihood that each next canvas non-woven wallpaper will be exactly the same as the previous one - unlikely.
Take into account the difficulty that you encounter: the second, third, fourth piece should go to the back of the previous, so the glue will protrude on other( already pasted parts) - do not rush to remove it, wipe the cloths neatly, do not tightly press a rag, try not to leave a stainand do not smear glue too much.
In the video material, how to glue non-woven wallpaper, each stage is well shown, so pay attention to all the forthcoming difficulties. Remember how all the actions are performed and use them in practice.

Angles are places where bubbles and waves can always form. To get rid of them, you need to cut through small lines with the help of a knife and let out air. If this is not done - then there will be waves and mounds, and this will be noticeable. In detail, this issue is discussed in an article on the wallpapering of wallpaper in the corners.
Sockets and switches. All as one, it is recommended to turn off electricity and only then to glue these sections. Therefore, follow the right example - and do as advised: turn off the light, remove the cover, open the sockets and switches with a scissors or a knife, after a while( 30 minutes), screw the cover back into place.
Radiators, batteries. It's not a secret for anyone that most of the space behind them causes a lot of difficulties. With you this will not happen if you use pruning. Do not strive to ensure that a full-fledged cloth is used. Measure the desired size of the piece and just glue it( aim for pattern matches).
