Tips for gluing structured and vinyl wallpaper (with paper base and paper relief)
To achieve the optimal effect, please pay attention to the following aspects before gluing the wallpaper to the wall - check the artical number, the batch number made, as well as the signs on rapports. Please keep the controls and wallpaper samples.
The preparation of the substrate
The preparation of the substrate can be quite time consuming, especially in older buildings. However, if you want to achieve a good result, you don't have to be afraid of it. Follow the following rules:
- completely remove old wallpaper and water -soluble varnishes;
- Check the old coating made on water -based paint, clean it if necessary;
- Spread cracks and holes with trowel, while surfaces with high moisture absorption are recommended to be pre -sealed with glue;
- The elusive old surfaces that are unable to carry the load should be pressed with a special primer under the wallpaper (see Photo).
It is useful to stick the base (waste paper) under the over -smooth surface wallpaper. The general rule is that the substrate must be dry, durable, able to evenly absorb moisture, clean, neutral and smooth.
Wallpaper cutting
Wallpaper Cutting: The length of the sheet with a reserve for extreme adjustment, without taking into account the article, should be 5-10 cm higher than the height of the room. Such wallpapers can be cut without the image.
Raport: Wallpaper sheets with rectangular patterns must be the same. Simply place the wallpaper one above the other to connect their edges while taking into account the instructions visible on the raports, and trim the sheets to the desired length. It should be noted that when cutting wallpapers with an article that has abnormalities, each second sheet draws a shift.
Apply glue to wallpaper sheets
Glue: Use only reliable brand production (specially designed glue) and follow the glue instructions. Stir the glue thoroughly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Heavy vinyl wallpapers are glued with specially designed glue, adding 20% dispersion glue.
Assemble together and curl, following the adhesive impregnation time
After the wallpaper is cut, the glue is evenly applied to the sheet, then the sheets are put together and rolled. At the same time, the same adhesive impregnation time must be observed. The adhesive impregnation time (about 8-12 minutes) depends on the room temperature and the type of wallpaper. Apply the glue to a small number of sheets and glue them to the wall in the same order as the glue was applied. The glue for wallpaper sheets can be applied with a special device used in repairs.
Wallpaper
Wallpaper gluing: Wallpaper gluing always starts "out of light", or wall glanding starts from the window. Pay attention to the first sheet of wallpaper glued in a vertical line, well leveled upright - so that the next sheets can be glued straight. Make the ceiling insert so that the sheet can be adjusted to the required height.
Glue the next sheets to the joints, pressing them tightly and smoothing out of the center parts to the edges to avoid the formation of bubbles.
When working with vinyl and structured wallpaper, you can use a microporacic rubber roller, a gentle brush or a cloth specially designed for wallpaper bonding. When working with paper wallpapers, use a brush or cloth for wallpaper gluing.
Vinyl and structured wallpaper joints can be used to treat a conical way to treat the seams. If you are working on wallpapers with relief, their joints should not be treated with a roller.
Cut off the protruding wallpaper edges
The overall wallpaper edges are trimmed from the top and bottom.
Additional recommendations
Pay attention to the fact that heavy heat and drafts should be avoided during wallpaper processing and drying.
The optimum operating temperature ranges from 18 ° C to 25 ° C.
Remove excess glue stains immediately by drying them with a clean cloth.
In any case, we encourage you to follow the wallpaper processing, printed in the back of the new wallpaper insert. Before starting work, please check the wallpaper and glue the wallpaper rolls made by the same party.
