Imitation of many surfaces can be obtained using vinyl wallpaper. They can create the effect of shiny silk or rough relief plaster. This is a waterproof, strong and durable coating. Vinyl wallpapers are designed for use in rooms that often require wet cleaning – bathrooms, kitchens, hallways. In residential premises, their use is not recommended.
Before starting work, the basis should be prepared. You should remove old wallpapers or painting layers, putty irregularities and cracks, treat with a small skin and primed the walls. It is advisable to apply a special protective coating on the surface of the walls before the primer, which prevents the appearance of the fungus. By the time of direct gluing of the wallpaper, the base must dry. The glue should be selected special – for vinyl paper or non -woven wallpaper. There are also different ways to stick wallpaper, depending on their basis.

Here, when switching from one wall to another, the canvases are overlapped. On the surfaces of the walls, the adjustment of the paintings is performed. The stripes are applied to the upper part of the wall and glued, straightening and smoothing a roller to displace air.
