Important features of the process
It is very important to understand that many owners set the task to glue the arch from drywall with wallpaper so as to perfectly fit them according to the drawing. It is very difficult to do this, but there are simple exits from this serious situation. Many advise simply selecting wallpaper for the arch in such a way that a drawing or patterns are absent on them, but there remains a clear color. In this case, the arch will look even better, since the absence of patterns will focus on the facility. This is especially true when the main wallpapers have many bright graphic elements. There is also a good option - just choose wallpaper that have a different color. Definitely, it is important to choose exactly those wallpaper that will be combined with the main ones. Also, they should not have lines and other elements that will negatively affect the general appearance of the room.
Quite often, a situation arises when gluing the arch occurs quite slowly, so the glue applied to the wallpaper can already dry out on one end of the material. Often, people prefer to just finish this matter faster, but it turns out that the wallpaper is not quite even. To avoid such troubles, you can use a small brush and apply glue to the wallpaper during the process.
It is also worthwhile to clearly understand that often the absence of wallpaper on the arch may look much more solid and harmonious.
The process of pasting the arch with wallpaper
Before gluing the arch with wallpaper, it is necessary to carry out all the necessary work around it. Next, the process of arranging the wall on the sides of the opening occurs. The stripes should be cropped so that about 3 cm of wallpaper, on the inner surface of the arch. On this part of the material, cutouts should also be made that will greatly facilitate the pressing of the wallpaper to the surface of the wall.
Next, you should cut 2 cloth panels so that their width is half a centimeter larger than the width of the arch. Definitely it is worthwhile to carefully approach the cloth cutting, because even if the material is a couple of millimeters shorter than the necessary, this can significantly affect the appearance of the room.
The gluing begins with the lower part of the arch, and continues to the arch. It is in the vault area that the wallpaper should be overlapped. If the wallpaper has a pattern, you should be as careful as possible so that the image coincides. There should be no problems with simple wallpaper.
A serious problem during wallpaper laying is also a presence on the walls of sockets and switches. There is nothing complicated here. It is enough to simply turn off the electricity into the home, which is the most important condition, and then the screws of sockets are weakened and, if necessary, all this can be removed and covered with wallpaper. After that, it is necessary to make the appropriate cut around the outlet, which will help easily install the outer part of the power source. If we are talking about wires, which are often carried out along the perimeters of the walls, they should be carried out in the area of \u200b\u200bskirting boards. In another case, wires can significantly complicate the process of pasting wallpaper, especially in the case of arches. To know how to glue the arch in case wires and sockets go nearby, you can also consult specialists.
Secondary features of pasting with wallpaper arch
Quite often, it occurs that the arch has an unusual shape that does not allow them to paste them with wallpaper in a classic way. Often, in order to avoid problems, in such situations they simply do not use wallpaper, because it is much easier to cover the wall of beauty, or some kind of finishing material. Indeed, it looks pretty good, especially when reaching a perfectly flat surface of the arched opening.
With an unusual form of the arch, the following actions must be done:
- we cut out the panel, which, approximately, will cover half the inner surface of the arch;
- we leave 3 cm of wallpaper on the sides, as with the usual adhesive method;
- after the first panel has been glued, it is necessary to cut the second. If it is very difficult to measure the required length, it is better to cut the panel a little longer on the eye;
- we apply the panel to the necessary part of the arch and cut off the excess part of the material;
- we apply glue on the panel and glue it, as in the classic method - overlap.
Playing the arch of the arch
To glue the arch of the arch, we will need to cut out the wallpaper, the width of which should fully correspond to the width of the arch opening. The length in this case should be slightly increased. The need for such an action lies in the fact that in this way you can achieve a complete coincidence of the picture, if it is present. Glue the stripes to the vault and carefully iron. The presence of bubbles and irregularities is unacceptable. It is also important that every corner of the wallpaper is pressed and coincided with other parts of the material. Otherwise, the wallpaper will gradually peel off and lose their solid appearance.
Other features of gluing arches
If the arch has racks that also need to be pasted, you should seriously analyze the situation. Most often, the racks are wood materials or elements of gypsockton. In these cases, there is no need for pasting. The maximum that can be done is covered with beauty or whitewashing. Also, racks, if they are present, often have a certain relief, so it is strictly not recommended to glue wallpaper on such a surface. After a short time, the material will begin to exfoliate, and even then again you will have to think about another coating.
Many experts recommend using wallpaper to cover the arch elements that have nothing to do with the main ones that the walls are covered. However, it is important to choose exactly such a material that will be chic to combine with other elements of the home. Often, people prefer to simply cover the arch elements with whitewashing. Thanks to this, the attention of all is drawn precisely to the ideal form of the arched structure.
Quite often, the arch is glued with a corner. It is also a chic way that creates a good appearance of the design of the arch, and also focuses on its corner elements. It is important to choose a corner that has dark colors if the wallpaper is light. In the case of dark wallpaper, you can choose any color coloring of the corners, if only these corner elements emphasize the solidity of the dwelling.
If you do not know how to glue the arch in your house, it is best to carefully analyze the shape of the structure, if it is complicated, and make a decision. Paint and whitewashing are classic methods that certainly will not harm the appearance of the dwelling.
