Production of velor wallpapers
The process of creating these wallpapers is very interesting. Initially, the paper base is used, on which the velor pattern is glued. For this, rolls of paper are placed in a "cage".There, too, nylon villi of various sizes are placed, but their length is about 0.75 mm. Parallel to the paper, a grid begins to rotate, which forms an electromagnetic field. Here we recall the elementary laws of physics.
Nylon fibers begin to fall on paper strictly perpendicularly, thanks to the electromagnetic field lines, which have a vertical direction. Thus, they are glued to the paper, as if "standing".Further all this "design" falls into a special furnace and at 140 ° C the fibers harden on the surface. At the last stage, the paper is cut into rolls and packaged.
In some cases, when you need to create a slightly different texture, a combination of vinyl and velor is allowed. The color scale and types of drawings can be different. Most often they are made with a certain relief. As already mentioned, they are produced in the form of large canvases, but then cut into rolls with a size of 0.53 x 10 m.
Advantages and disadvantages of velor wallpapers
Velor wallpapers , like any wall covering has its pluses and minuses. It is also important to say that they are not suitable for all premises, as they need careful care. For example, they should not be done where animals live. Their wool will permanently stick to the coating. The best place for wallpaper velours is a bedroom, study, living room. It creates a mysterious, and cozy atmosphere. Among the main advantages in this material are:
- Overflow and shine in daylight and artificial light.

- are an excellent way to implement various design ideas.
Out of the shortcomings: is quickly contaminated, accumulates dust and absorbs odors. These spots are almost impossible to remove. Plus, everything is prohibited from wet cleaning. Therefore, velor wallpaper is considered not at all practical material.
Technology of application of velor wallpapers
In order to apply this coating, it is necessary to comply with all the rules for preparation of the substrate and gluing. To begin with, the old coating( plaster, paint, whitewash) is eliminated. Therefore, you need to know how to remove old plaster and paint. Further, the surface is cleaned of stains, leveled with plaster by special technology and primed.
After the base is ready, proceed to cutting the canvas and preparing the glue. By the way, glue for "heavy" wallpaper is considered the best. Next, apply glue on the canvas and gently glue them to the wall. It is important to smooth the movements of the hands from the center to the edges in order to avoid wrinkles and bubbles.
Recommendations for care! To clean the wallpaper, it is important to use clean and dry bristles with a soft pile. In some cases, a vacuum cleaner is used. Any stains are removed strictly by stripping with a dry brush or sponge. Do not do this with liquid cleaners. Otherwise your cover will lose its aesthetic appearance!
In this regard, it is important to carefully think over, where exactly will it be glued - in which rooms? Choose rooms with a small dirt, where there will not be many smells and dust.
