How to paste wallpaper on plywood if it is stuffed on the walls unevenly
As you know, the smoother the surface, the easier it is to glue it with wallpaper, and the best option, undoubtedly, is drywall. But the pleasure is expensive, and not everyone can afford it, because in addition to the sheets of wall covering, made on the basis of gypsum, special profiles will be required, and, of course, considerable professionalism during installation. And so many today are more simple way, padding the wall with plywood. And there is often no one to warn about waiting difficulties. Which ones? Quite serious, but quite surmountable.
The main problem with which you have to face before you paste wallpaper on the plywood - it's uneven joints between the sheets. It is very difficult to cover the walls with plywood so that an ideal, uniform surface is obtained. And this means that the upholstery will "play" by swings at the seams. The best way to deal with such a disgrace is to glue the joints of the sheets with a serpent, then prime with a high quality filler and sand it. Be sure, the differences will become almost imperceptible, especially if the plywood is high-quality, and the walls are relatively even.
Plywood wallpapering on the plywood, choose the material of the
coating. If you look at the dacha built at the dawn of Soviet rule and hold your hand against the wall, you can feel the texture of the quality multilayer plywood under the darkened paper wallpaper. And if suddenly you want to clean the walls of the old burnt coating, then make sure that even the usual inferior paper wallpaper is kept on the plywood firmly .Maybe it's in the glue? It is very doubtful, because only modern industry spoils us with a wide variety of adhesive compounds, and previously treated with the usual starch broth, called a paste. So what, paper wallpaper is best? But with premature conclusions, wait, because how to glue the wallpaper on the plywood must be discreet.
To begin with, paper is not the most durable material, and today vinyl is much more popular. In addition, vinyl wallpaper can be embossed, which perfectly masks the unevenness of joints, if you can not completely smooth them. But the most optimal option is the gluing of non-woven wallpaper that perfectly keeps the shape, even if the plywood slightly deforms with time. As for the disguise of very unpleasant joints, cane wallpaper will help you, the rough surface of which will perfectly hide any irregularities.
Keep in mind that the wallpapering on the plywood is done only after priming with glue, after which, after a short period of time, you can apply the canvas.
How to glue wallpapers on plywood with a guarantee of durability
Of course, it is difficult to predict in advance how the plywood will behave after the wallpaper pasted on it dry, but one is certain - over time this product of the wood industry may well be deformed. And it is good, if this almost inevitable deformation occurs somewhere in the middle of the sheet, and after all, the edges can "play", aggravating the unevenness of the joint. How to paste wallpaper on plywood in this case? We can say with certainty that the glass mills and the composition specially designed for gluing them will provide you with a quality surface for decades. The same can be said about the metallized cloth. And here, let's say, how to cover the walls with wallpaper, to last forever. ..
There is such a wonderful composition as a liquid wallpaper. Adhesive is not necessary for them, but the surface must be appropriate - since liquid wallpaper has among the components water, the wood surface should be sufficiently resistant to increased humidity .In other words, either choose a waterproof plywood( there is one), or it must be carefully fixed so that the deformation mentioned above does not happen already. But after finishing the decorative finish for the coating, you do not have to worry, any damage to the applied composition is corrected in two counts, it is enough to moisten the necessary area and grind the mass with a spatula, or if there is considerable damage, a new layer should be applied.
It's worth mentioning that plywood is good for everyone, but as a basis for finishing the walls it is estimated for a solid four, it's much better to use gypsum cardboard all the same.
