How to glue meter wallpaper

Almost every one of us had to glue the wallpaper independently or help with this acquaintance, so the work technology does not cause questions - the glue was admitted to the wall. But today on the market you can meet an unusually wide wallpaper, pasting which introduces even some experienced workers into a stupor. Wallpapers these, which and are very beautiful, durable and unusual, and in this article we will tell about how to glue meter wallpaper.

Product specifications

Material wallpapers are becoming more and more popular - people want something new and "fresh", and unusual and colorful wallpapers are precisely such. The width of the material exceeds the usual 53 cm almost 2 times. They are 90, 110 and even 140 cm wide, and if you know how to glue a meter wallpaper correctly, you can only imagine how quickly such a repair will be!

Of course, for all attractive new items you have to give a round sum, so wide wallpapers often frighten the ordinary people with their price tags. But those who have already dealt with this material, in one voice, claim that every spent penny is worth it - wallpaper look uniform, harmoniously, serve a long time and unpretentious to use.

It is time to consider the advantages of meter wallpaper:

1. Glue the meter wallpaper is much faster and easier (owning technician) than standard.
2. The drawing is obtained more solid.
3. Less junctions and seams.
4. Wide wallpapers produce only abroad with special technologies and high quality.
5. Despite the seeming high cost of meter wallpaper, one roll will be cheaper than two rolls of ordinary wallpapers of the same quality.
6. Perfect option for large rooms.

As usual, even the highest quality products have its drawbacks, and meter wallpapers are no exception:

1. To glue them alone is quite problematic, especially if you do it for the first time.
2. Before pasting, it is necessary to very carefully prepare the walls - wide wallpaper looks well only on perfectly smooth and smooth surfaces. Otherwise, the docking of adjacent wallpapers will be distorted.
3. Despite the impressive width, the length of the wallpaper may not be enough, because of which a roll will have to buy, so you need to carry out accurate measurements of the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, before going to the store, it usually concerns the rooms with non-standard quadrature.

Preparatory work

Before you begin to stick the wallpapers and the transformation of your home, you need to go through several mandatory stages - prepare walls and carry out calculations. Without this preparation, any idea is doomed to failure, so carefully read the sections below.

How to calculate wallpaper consumption

The correct calculation of the number of wallpaper for repair will help save an impressive amount and make work clearly and quickly. Many for this purpose are deciding to take advantage of a special program - on-line calculator for wallpaper. But even the most good calculator will not help you with wide wallpaper, especially if you are lucky to own an apartment with non-standard layout.

Calculation consists of several stages:

1. It should be started from the perimeter, calculating it according to the elementary scheme, familiar with the lessons of geometry: (length of the wall + adjacent wall length) x2. For example, if there is a wall of 4 m and a wall of 3 m long, then the calculation will look like this: (4 + 3) x2 \u003d 14 m.
2. Measure each wall separately at the bottom edge, making a correction on the door opening niches, recesses and protruding parts.
3. Many "deduct" the doors and windows, reasonably believing that wallpaper will not be spent on them. But if you are not strong in the calculations and can not calculate how many a total of window and doorways are occupied, it would be better for a little more material than in case of an error there will have to buy another roll.
4. Is it necessary to glue wallpaper for furniture? Ideally - yes. In general, before pasting, it is advisable to make all the furniture from the room. But if we are talking about a bulky wardrobe on the whole wall that you are not going to rearrange the next few years, you can not burden yourself with extra concerns and costs.
5. It is always recommended to leave the roll or half of the roll rud. It is necessary in case of unplanned repairs, replacing a piece of wallpaper (the child painted the felt-tip pen, the dog scratched, etc.). If you do not leave anything in stock, then find exactly the same wallpaper on the market can be quite problematic.

Preparation of the surface

When working with wide wallpaper, the most complex and time-consuming occupation is not pasting, but the preparation of the walls. It follows to this when it comes to the ceiling decoration if you are dealing with a new building or make overhaul in the apartment.

What is the preparation of walls:

1. Remove the covers from all sockets and switches, and the holes gently glue with a tape or painting tape so that it can be easily removed after work.
2. Remove all the walls of the fasteners (nails, screws, screws).
3. Remove the old coating (wallpaper, paint, etc.). It is necessary to delete completely, right up to the smallest pieces.
4. If necessary, align the walls, grinding potholes and steasv tubercles. The dried putty should be lost in shallow emery paper.
5. In mandatory, even on perfectly smooth and smooth walls should be applied one or two standing primer. It increases the grip strength (adhesion) wallpaper with a wall and significantly saves the adhesive composition. The primer clogs all the smallest holes in the wall, without allowing adhesion to get absorbed into it and ensuring a durable gluing of the wallpaper. It is necessary to apply glue to fully dried primer. Duration of drying is different and depend on the amount of layers applied. More information is indicated on the packaging of the primer.

If you got an apartment with catastrophically curvathed walls, the alignment of which will take a lot of strength, tools and time, it makes sense to consider the version of the surface of the surface with plasterboard. In this case, you can "kill two hares" - create a perfectly smooth surface and make high-quality heat insulation, which is especially important for modern apartments with thin walls.

How to glue wallpaper: instruction

When all the preparatory work is behind, check and if necessary, replenish your construction arsenal.

For blowing wide wallpaper you will need the following tools:

• wide brush or flat construction brush with rigid bristles for applying glue (some prefer to use rollers, but start better with the brush);
• rubber roller for stroking wallpaper;
• a line of a minimum of 50 cm;
• simple pencil;
• construction plumb;
• stationery knife;
• scissors;
• clean dry rag.

Glue wide wallpaper is best together or threesome, because with unaccustomed it is quite difficult to control with large slices of material.

The technology of sticking meter wallpaper is as follows:

1. Measure the roulette length of the wall and calculate how many lanes of wallpapers will need to cover it.
2. Make the marking of the first canvase. Starting from the window, moving deep into the room. In 105 cm from the corner, swipe the vertical line from the ceiling to the floor using a plumbing and a ruler. Just in case it is recommended to leave a couple of centimeters if the walls are not completely even.
3. When working in the corners, the allowances should be left, which will subsequently block the cloth on the adjacent wall. In this case, unsightly cracks will not be formed.
4. Calculate the number of bands needed for one wall, making a small battery in length in 2-3 cm.
5. Generously lubricate the wall with glue to the entire width of the cloth, a little calling for marked borders.
6. Since the first time gliding the wide wallpaper better with the assistant, one of you should keep the cloth for the top edge, climb to the stepladder to the ceiling itself and attach the edge clearly to the ceiling border line and wall. A coincidence of the vertical border scheduled for a pencil must control the assistant.
7. Smooth the wallpaper to the wall with a dry cloth or hand in a rag glove, moving from top to bottom and kicking air bubbles to the edges. In no case try to stretch the wallpaper horizontally, otherwise, after drying, you will find at all the result that was calculated.
8. Position the following canvas closely to the already blended, applying them without adhesion or gaps.

In most cases, one wall fails to accommodate an equal number of bands, and you have to cut off the cloth vertically. Then the wallpaper on the adjacent wall should be applied to the corner, breaking the cut so that the slots do not work, and the glue from under the material wiper with a dry cloth.

Surplus Wallpaper (in length) should be trimmed only after complete drying of the panels, since otherwise the sheet is most likely crushed at the corners, and the gap curves are formed near the floor, which cannot be disguised even a wide plinth.

How to glue wallpaper one

If it happened that for the mixture of wide wallpaper, you could not get an assistant, you can cope with this work yourself. It is the opinion that non-standard wallpapers can be glued only with one or two helpers, but it is not. The width of the roll is more than 100 cm, and the scope of human hands is 150 cm, so you can easily handle alone, dock the seams and align the cloth.

The principle of sticking is exactly the same as in the case of working with the assistant. If the first time could not be pasted the web smoothly, it can be removed and applied to the wall again - a dense material, as a rule, allows it to do without damage to the structure.

Casting of hard-to-reach places

Places behind the batteries, in the corners and areas above the doorways always cause difficulties, especially if we are talking about wide wallpaper. To stick the battery cloth, you will have to cut a cloth into several small parts. It is best to cut one cloth so that it is easier to recreate the original drawing.

Make so that the drawing is completely coincided, in such places is quite problematic. And if an inexperienced person can still cope with the doorway, then this battery can be done only on condition that you have the appropriate experience or design skills.

At first it is necessary to stick the segment of wallpapers on the free section of the wall, and then align it according to the designated vertical. The second segment is glued from the opposite end of the battery, aligns as much as possible, and the seam is closed with edge. To do this operation is ideally from the first time it is unlikely to succeed, so be patient.

Fliseline wallpaper will become the best choice for inexperienced builders - their position on the wall can be easily corrected as many as 10 minutes after the sticker. But that this becomes possible, it is necessary to use adhesive compositions without additives for rapid frost.
