The choice of the appearance of the coating depends, first of all, on the desired design that you want to create indoors.

However, there are several rules that should be followed when choosing a material: for example, in large rooms, larger drawings on wallpaper will look more harmonious, and in small ones - on the contrary, a coating with a small pattern, or a monochrome one.

When buying, it is better to take more material than required, especially when it comes to embossed wallpaper with a large pattern.

As a rule, buy 1-2 rolls more, so that you can adjust the material, glue and overlap complex areas.

The standards for coating production are as follows: coils are available in widths of 50-53 cm and lengths of 10 m. For some manufacturers, these dimensions may vary, but, as a rule, slightly.

To accurately determine the size, when buying carefully read the information on the package - it indicates the size, as well as other properties of the product.

To find out how much material you need to paste, you need to measure the height of the ceilings, as well as the perimeter of each wall in the room, not taking into account the window and doorways.

Divide the number by 53, and you will know how many wallpapers you need.

Sticky paper wallpaper does not require any specific tools, but it is better to prepare all of them in advance.

Prepare:

• a tape measure or a folding ruler;
• building level;
• pencil to be used for marking;
• scissors or knife;
• pellet for breeding glue;
• brush or roller;
• sponge to remove excess glue;
• fabric to remove air bubbles that accumulate under the material.

It is also better to prepare the wallpaper in advance: they need to be cut into strips, taking into account the location of the picture and details, as well as the dimensions of the room.

It's better to buy wallpapers from one lot - then you do not have to adjust shades.

If this option is not possible, then it is possible to glue a different coating behind the batteries or under the windows, where the differences will not be so noticeable.

Wall preparation and choice of adhesive

The technology of gluing paper wallpaper with your own hands begins with cleaning each wall: you need to remove the old coating and dried glue, and also level the surface: zashpatlevat and primed each wall.

Paper-based wallpaper is good because it is unstable to moisture, and begin to move away from the walls, if they are abundantly wet. After a while you will be able to clean off the coating without diligence with a spatula.

In particularly difficult cases, you can iron the wallpaper with a heated iron, covering the surface with a wet cloth.

On the basis of water, a special solution of sodium hydroxide or soda is also made - then the coating will depart more easily.

Before you start to cover the concrete walls, you need to turn off the electricity in the shield, remove the covers on the switches and sockets.

Before gluing the canvas, attach it to the wall in the place where the rosette is located, and make a cross-shaped cutout. Then the material will be easier to paste on the wall. Corners better bend or cut.

When starting work, you can also remove old skirting boards, and after pasting new ones - then the repair will look better.

The most popular option for pasting is CMC glue. Such glue is sold in powder form and stored for a long time.

To obtain the finished mixture, mix the mixture with water and leave for 12 hours, until the powder has dissolved completely.

From time to time, the mixture should be stirred, so that the consistency of the solution becomes similar to the jelly.

You can choose other variants of mixtures - for example, glues "Bustilat" and "Gumilax" have proven themselves well.

They are bred similarly to the CMC, but they have their own peculiarities, which are indicated in the instructions.

Wallpaper gluing

Features of wallpaper on a paper basis is that they are available with an edge. Sometimes it happens on one side, sometimes with two.

If the wallpaper is single-layer, they can be glued and the edge will not be noticeable. For more dense material, overlapping is not suitable, becausein this case the seam will be too noticeable.

Thus, if the wallpaper is two-layer, then glue them need to butt, and not overlap.

Special attention should be paid to the zone near the windows: start to glue the material to the right of the window, and cut off the edge on the same side. In the future, it is better to trim the edge on the left and then glue the canvas end to end.

Before you start to glue wallpaper butt to concrete walls, you need to cut them correctly and cut them. To do this, add another 10-30 cm of stock to the size of the wall space.

If the floor and ceiling in your house is too curve, then you can visually fix it with a curb.

Before you paste the first sheet on the wall, it is necessary to mark the vertical line along which you want to expose the material.

It is best to do this with a laser level, then the first part will rise smoothly, and you will already measure the remaining canvases.

To properly paste the wallpaper, start working from the window, marking with a vertical line all the walls of the room. Glue the wallpaper to the butt, leaving no gaps.

The most difficult thing is to glue the material in the corner. Here you need to lay linen overlap, but its size should not exceed 3-5 cm, otherwise lapping will be too noticeable.

To prevent creases from forming on the fabric, 2-3 cuts should be made on the canvas using scissors.

The strip following the overlapped lap is glued to butt from the angle along the paved vertical line.

So that air bubbles do not accumulate under the wallpaper, and so that they do not fall off the walls, you need to work with glue not only the canvas itself, but also the walls.

You do not need to glue the entire wall with glue at once, but only the necessary strip, on which the wallpaper of the wallpaper is then laid.

After the wallpaper has pierced the wall, you need to walk on the surface with a roller or a cloth or napkin to smooth them and expel excess air.
