How to stick non-woven wallpaper? Many people ask themselves this question, having already purchased several heavy, but very beautiful rolls. Working with this material is more difficult than with ordinary paper. Therefore, even before purchasing, you should think about whether it is worth purchasing trellises that are less expensive, but easier to use.
Non-woven wallpaper differs from paper wallpaper not only in structure, but also in the method of gluing.
You can answer the question by reading the pros and cons of non-woven trellises.
A few words about the advantages and disadvantages
The concept of “non-woven wallpaper” is collective. There are trellises made entirely of non-woven fabric. In others, only the base is made of interlining, and the front side is made of vinyl.
Interlining is called "improved paper" because this non-woven material made from cellulose and polymers. Just like paper, this material has many positive characteristics.
Scheme vinyl wallpaper with non-woven base.
- Made from cellulose, non-woven fabric does not contain carcinogenic substances.
- It is able to “breathe”, which makes the air in the room favorable.
- Non-woven wallpaper is not afraid of changes in humidity and temperature, it does not “dry out” on walls in dry rooms and does not swell from moisture.
- With the help of non-woven trellises it is easy to hide uneven walls. Vinyl, which is applied to the front side, has an excellent texture. This coating can be repainted up to seven times. For this purpose, ordinary water-based paint, which is very inexpensive, is suitable.
- This material has practically no disadvantages, except for the relatively high price.
Still not sure about your choice and are afraid that gluing wide non-woven wallpaper is difficult? There is some truth to this, but there are other things to think about:
The main advantage when gluing wide non-woven wallpaper is the reduction in the number of joints.
- The number of joints when gluing wide trellises is reduced by at least two times. This is very important for the aesthetics of the room.
- Since the width of the strips is twice as wide as usual, the gluing time is reduced.
- You can stick wide trellises even in a small and cramped room. The fact is that glue is not applied to them: they are smeared on the walls. Therefore, there is no need to look for a place on the floor or table to apply glue.
Another advantage will be of interest to those who like to frequently change the wallpaper in their home. Removing non-woven wallpaper from the wall is much easier than ordinary paper wallpaper.
Have you become familiar with the features of non-woven material and decided to purchase several rolls? Just remember to check that the code on the rolls matches: otherwise color shades may vary on each roll.
Now it’s time to think about how to properly glue wide non-woven wallpaper and what you will need for this.

Preparation for gluing
In order not to be distracted from gluing while working, everything necessary tools needs to be prepared in advance.
You will need:
To glue non-woven wallpaper, you need to buy special glue.
- Glue. It is purchased at the same time as wallpaper. The instructions for them usually indicate that you can choose between a special glue for non-woven fabric and a universal one, suitable for all types of finishing materials. Practice shows that universal glue is less reliable.
- Device for wetting walls, spatula for removing old decorative covering. You cannot glue non-woven material onto an unprepared wall.
- Primer. She will have to treat the wall to enhance adhesion.
- Scissors for cutting strips.
- Knife for cutting off excess.
- Roller for applying glue.
- Soft cloth for leveling trellises and removing excess glue.
It’s not difficult to prepare a wall yourself, but gluing wallpaper is easier with a partner. Therefore, before starting work, it would be a good idea to enlist friendly support.
Work begins with preparing the wall.
The old coating is removed from it. If the wall is uneven, has chips or large cracks, then it is recommended to repair them with putty. Then the wall should be coated with a primer. It will help not only strengthen the adhesion of the wall and finishing material, but will also reduce the amount of glue. When the wall is completely dry, you can begin the main stage of work.

How to properly and quickly stick non-woven wallpaper
Before starting work, dilute the glue. How to do this is usually written on the packaging. It is important to ensure that the composition is not very thick or liquid.
While the glue is infusing, you should cut out the wallpaper. You can, of course, cut a new strip after sticking the previous one, but such fuss will take too much time, so cutting is done first.
On the wall, mark with a pencil the place where the first trellis will be attached. This should be a corner located next to the window. Using a plumb line, draw a vertical line on the wall. It is needed to prevent the trellis from “falling on its side,” because in many apartments the floor and ceiling are not always parallel. Cut a strip of the required length, then measure and cut the next one. When cutting, you need to leave 5-10 centimeters over the measurement. If the walls are uneven, these centimeters will be very useful. The excess can be cut off with a knife. When all the pieces are cut, start gluing.
Technology for gluing wallpaper in a room.
- Using a roller or wide brush, apply glue to the place where the first trellis will be glued. This should be done so that the adhesive strip is 2-3 centimeters wider than the trellis. You need to make sure that the glue saturates the wall well, but its excess does not flow down. A layer that is too thick will make work difficult and ruin appearance finished wall.
- Climbing onto a chair or stepladder, place the first trellis against the ceiling so that a small margin remains on top. It’s good if your partner holds the bottom of the lane. If the work is carried out by one person, then the cut trellis can be rolled up so that the side coated with glue does not cling to the wall and does not complicate the process. Having placed the strip in place and pressing it tightly with a cloth, roller or rubber spatula, they begin to level the wallpaper, while simultaneously removing excess glue. The movement should resemble a Christmas tree. When the entire strip is glued, a roller is passed over it again to finally get rid of excess glue.
- All the following strips are glued in the same way.
For those who have already dealt with wallpapering, the question often arises: what is the right thing to do? Glue the interlining end-to-end or overlapping. The answer is clear: dense, heavy material can only be glued end-to-end. Then the joints of the trellises will be invisible. Even in corners, which are often uneven, overlapping glue should not be used.
The excess is cut off after the wallpaper has completely dried.

Nuances you need to know
It’s easier to do any job if you familiarize yourself with little tricks. Here are a few techniques that will help you achieve perfect look walls after wide non-woven wallpaper is pasted on them. These tips to make the process easier will help you achieve the perfect result:
- If the wallpaper has a pattern, remember that it has a top and a bottom. A trellis glued upside down will ruin the design.
- In order to apply wallpaper under a socket or switches, you must first unplug them and remove the cover. Solid strips are glued, but in place of future devices sharp knife cut the interlining crosswise. After drying, cut out places for sockets and put the covers in place.
- To ensure that the wallpaper fits together well in the corner, you can do this. Place two strips on both sides and place them on top of each other so that they overlap at a distance of 5-6 cm. Press down the junction with a spatula and cut with a sharp knife. The joint turns out perfect.
- While working, it is important to ensure that the edges of the strips fit well against the wall. If the glue on the wall has dried out, you should additionally lubricate the edges of the trellises.
Remember to monitor your work from the far end of the room. It is very difficult to spot errors up close.
Today you can find seamless wallpaper 3 meters wide on sale. Their gluing pattern differs from the usual one. Such wallpaper begins to roll out on a wall coated with glue not from top to bottom, but from one corner to another. At the same time, you will have to ensure that the top edge of the covering lies flat against the ceiling. For such work it is better to hire professional craftsmen.
Similar materials
Non-woven wallpaper is considered almost the best option For self-finishing walls in any room. They do not deform after gluing, have a thick and stable base, are hygroscopic and practically harmless. But only if all the rules of use are followed, you can count on their long service life.
Coating features
Non-woven wallpaper is always wide (roll width is 106 cm). This means that you will have to make fewer joints, and the more important each connection is, because it will be very disappointing to fail the whole thing due to elementary inattention. This wallpaper is heavy and structural, has a dense texture, so it can mask defects various surfaces. Low sensitivity to light avoids fading - the surface does not fade. The internal structure guarantees good air permeability; the fabric can absorb a limited amount of moisture without deforming. Vinyl or, especially, paper solutions do not have this advantage in principle.
Non-woven wallpaper is also attractive because it:
- can be repainted many times without losing their visual appeal.
- They are resistant to mechanical damage and perfectly resist destructive external influences.
- They tolerate wet cleaning well.
- Practical to use repair work, they can be glued even in small rooms.
- No soaking required during dismantling.
Required tools and materials
Before gluing non-woven wallpaper, you need to:
- remove the previous coating (if any);
- cover the unevenness with putty;
- thoroughly prime the walls;
- Turn off the power supply and remove the external housings of the sockets.
Important: take care quality primer, otherwise it will not be possible to guarantee the adhesion of the wallpaper to the wall.
To work you will need:
- roller;
- moderately wide brush;
- container for glue;
- roulette;
- stationery sharp knife.
Measurements and adjustments are carried out using a level and a long ruler. You will also need a simple pencil, a sponge, cotton cloth, water and, of course, the required amount of wallpaper and non-woven fabrics new glue in the required amount. If you are planning a major renovation, and not just wallpapering, be sure to take laser level, not hydraulic. A five-meter tape measure is better than a three-meter tape measure because it is much more practical. The roller should have a long pile, and it is advisable to buy a plastic spatula with soft edges. This will allow you to roll the wallpaper properly.
The sponge should be made of foam rubber. You will also definitely need a soft brush; you can use it to smooth out the pasted wallpaper if any unevenness appears. Useful accessory- a mesh that simplifies cleaning the rollers from excess glue. In addition to the rubber spatula, another narrow one with a metal blade will be useful. You also need to prepare two buckets: one for glue, the other for clean water(it is better to use plastic ones).
Preparation
The first step in preparing for gluing non-woven wallpaper is to inspect the surfaces. The easiest way to glue it is on paper, clean concrete, drywall, particle boards and plaster, but only on condition that these surfaces are perfectly smooth and in good condition.
Important: the coloring of the rough surface must be uniform and match the tone of the wallpaper itself, otherwise it will shine through, which will ruin the entire aesthetics. If newspapers are pasted on the wall, they will definitely have to be removed. Any defect is removed, dirt is cleaned.
Even the paint must be cleaned off; if necessary, fine-tuning the rough layer is done with medium-grit sandpaper. Then the surface is primed. The quality of non-woven wallpaper allows it to be glued end-to-end, and the joined sheets almost make it impossible to see the seam.
The rules for working with non-woven wallpaper imply that they need to be glued from the corner. From there they measure a meter in length, and draw a line exactly vertically for orientation. Next, checking with a level, such lines are placed on the entire wall. Since the typical roll width is 106 cm, there is excess material - this allows you to make the joints at the corners clearer.
Then comes the turn of working with the wallpaper itself. It’s best to cut all the pieces at once.
Important nuance: before “cutting”, measure the height of the room in different points in increments of 20-30 cm, and if the walls are even slightly uneven in height, take this into account when cutting.
A large design can look very attractive, but it must be selected with the utmost care, without missing the necessary coincidence during the marking process.
A margin of 10-15 cm in height does not always help with very high ceiling heights, so the length of each workpiece should be made greater than the height of the room. It is best to cut on the floor itself, for this they spread plastic film; quality linoleum or laminate just needs to be washed and dried. The rolls are rolled out face down, a strip is measured to allow for adjustment and marked with a knife. Along this notch, the canvas is folded so that the ends of the bent fragment and the main panel are on the same line. Once you are sure of this, you can cut the wallpaper with a special knife or paper scissors.
After rolling out subsequent sheets, they immediately check how accurately the drawings fit. The most convenient way to control this is by paying attention to some clearly visible part of the graphics. Only after everything is combined should you work on the next piece. Attention: for non-woven wallpaper, use only specially designed glue, which is poured into a container of water in a thin stream, while stirring constantly. The mixture should settle, then it is stirred again and lumps are removed. This completes the preparation.
Important: it’s absolutely forbidden to glue new ones onto old wallpaper, and it’s not even a matter of the special properties of the non-woven material. Over many years of use, wall coverings inevitably absorb grease and soot, dust and soot, allergens and industrial emissions. Therefore, there is only one correct way - to clean the base to a perfectly smooth rough surface, and then prepare everything as described above.
Do I need to apply glue to the walls?
The correct answer is simple: you won’t be able to stick non-woven wallpaper if you smear it with glue. So it is absolutely necessary to smear the walls with glue, and only them. But if any of the strips are already coated, then there is no need to cover the wall: just remove the excess glue that comes out at the joints with a soft cloth. Important: glue is applied only to the strip that is currently being worked on, and not on all canvases at once.
The primer may not be used only in one case: the wallpaper is not initially intended to be used for a long time, and they are only a temporary solution, for example, until a move or a more suitable one becomes available. wall covering. If you do not prime, you may find that the adhesion of the material to the surface is insufficient. It is for this reason that canvases often fall off suddenly, as if by themselves.
It is recommended to start pasting from door or window openings and move deeper into the room, and not vice versa. Always coat the wall not exactly according to the width of the roll, but with some margin. Particular care should be taken to apply stickers near baseboards, in corners, on corners and in places with a complex configuration, for example, where pipe outlets are located, electric meters, hanging furniture, and wall hangers are located.
Unlike ordinary wallpaper, non-woven wallpaper can be glued to PVA. The fact is that their dense, heavy structure makes standard wallpaper adhesives insufficiently effective, but ultimately you should follow the manufacturer's instructions. As it is written in the instructions, this is how you should do it. If you add polyvinyl acetate glue to the wallpaper (its consumption will be 150 g for each liter of the main adhesive mass), the coating will adhere more firmly.
Pasting
Overlapping non-woven wallpaper is glued in the corners, this allows you to visually cover various irregularities and deviations from the norm. Plastic corners are placed at the corners and attached to the walls. Attention: do not go too far into adjacent walls. The technology implies that after dipping the roller in glue, it must be passed along the mesh, and only when the excess composition has been removed can it be passed along the wall. It should be glued from above; to do this, take the canvas by the edge and apply it to the wall. Then the roll is smoothly brought down, the canvas is smoothed from the center to the edges with a special brush or roller. You can also use a plastic spatula, but it requires caution.
Make sure not only that the joints are not visible, but also that there are no bubbles or folds anywhere. Attention: after gluing several strips, all subsequent seams are carefully rolled out with a roller. If there is an extra piece left at the bottom, it is cut off, but not immediately, but only after the canvas has dried. On external corners The wallpaper is glued with an overlap of 5 cm. Then a ruler is applied to the middle of the strip and a through cut is made along it with a knife.
It is better to glue meter-long wallpaper end-to-end, but do not stretch the fabric too much or smooth it too much. A thin strip can easily break, but there is no way to fix the problem. Attention: Always use brand new glue every time. The one left over from the previous renovation or from yesterday is completely unsuitable.
There is no difficulty in gluing non-woven photo wallpaper, but still this work should only be done if you have sufficient experience and knowledge. The drawing must be adjusted with an error of no more than 1 mm. If you have never glued wallpaper at all, you should not take on such a task. It is better to choose the option for painting; it is easier and more reliable to use.
The simplicity of gluing wallpaper onto drywall is only apparent, and without sufficient preparation even it Smooth surface won't make the task any easier. All visible metal fasteners must be covered with an anti-corrosion agent. Must use acrylic primer, suppressing the development of mold colonies. Important: do not use too much wallpaper glue, otherwise plasterboard sheets may become wet and deformed.
To prevent the base from showing through, installation should be carried out not on the drywall itself, but on water-based paint white tones. Please note that when gluing wallpaper overlapping in this case undesirable. Regardless of the base, it is worth turning off the electricity in the entire room, because wet glue is an excellent conductor of current.
You can cover the walls with non-woven covering in the corners of the room without the help of specialists, but you need to be even more careful than when working with the main space. You should not apply the canvas in equal parts to both walls, because such a strip will almost certainly stretch and break. If you put a point in the narrowest part of the panel and draw a vertical line through it, the markings will be more accurate.
Sometimes they still dare to glue non-woven wallpaper onto glass wallpaper. To assess whether it’s worth the risk at all, look at how much of the relief pattern is applied to the intended base. In principle, it is impossible to permanently stick a new layer on top of a convex ornament. Never glue interlining onto paper backing., because it cannot cope with such a large load.
Some of the non-woven wallpaper is textile, its outer layer is formed various fabrics, for example, silk. It makes sense to choose linen; it is practical and relatively inexpensive.
A jute covering will help to mask even quite serious defects in the walls, and felt is used when you need not so much to decorate as to insulate a room and protect it from extraneous noise. You can paste non-woven wallpaper onto painted walls with your own hands, but this will require careful and precise preparation.
There are such ways:
- Use a spatula to scrape off all the previous coating and then prime the base;
- Sand the paint with sandpaper to create bonding points.
The first option is more familiar and reliable, and in terms of labor intensity, the methods are approximately the same. Moreover, in the first case you will not make a mistake by creating the wrong roughness in the wrong place, so the second method should be left to professionals who know all the intricacies.
In fact, gluing wide non-woven wallpaper yourself is no more difficult than narrower samples. There is no particular need to even carefully measure and calculate door and window openings; it is better to simply buy more material so that you are sure to have enough. Remember, if you make a mistake, you will have to urgently purchase additional coverage, and it will not always be possible to match it to the tone of the one already used.
We must strive to ensure that the wallpaper lays without seams. Those home craftsmen who can achieve this effect can consider themselves almost professional repairmen. To avoid creating a seam, work with glue carefully; it should not get on the front surface. Of course, in order to avoid seams, you need to purchase a special coating that is glued end-to-end and not overlapping.
Hot-stamped wallpaper with a bright pattern looks good only in those rooms where there is enough sunlight. In a darkened room (corridor, pantry) they are completely inappropriate. Please note that most of these wallpapers do not have an ornament and are intended for further self-painting. Important advantages hot stamping is that it does not accumulate static electricity and is not afraid of water ingress.

What to do if they bubble?
It happens that certain problems arise when covering walls, and then you need to act immediately to correct the defect. It is quite simple to stick non-woven wallpaper without bubbles, you just need not to skimp on the glue, but use it exactly as specified in the instructions. Then no difficulties will arise.
Wallpaper is perhaps the most convenient material for decorating walls yourself, and non-woven wallpaper is the most popular. Non-woven fabric has many advantages over traditional paper base– it is more flexible, allows you to paste wallpaper on uneven walls no bubbles or creases. In addition, non-woven wallpaper does not need to be coated with glue, which greatly simplifies the gluing process. To properly hang wallpaper on a non-woven basis, it is enough to know the basic techniques of this work, and the skill will appear after gluing the first canvases.
Purchasing wallpaper and necessary materials
Before gluing wallpaper, you need to measure the room and draw its plan, taking into account the length, width and height of the room, as well as windows and doors. The calculation must be carried out after specifying the length of the roll - it can be 10, 15, or 20 meters. The length of the roll is divided by the height of the wall, the resulting integer will mean the number of whole strips in the roll. The perimeter of the room, minus windows and doors, is divided by the width of the roll, giving the total number of strips. It is divided by the number of whole strips in the roll, and you get required amount rolls If the roll is divided into strips with practically no residue, it is better to buy one more roll for pasting the space above the door and windows. For wallpaper with a large pattern that requires selection, it is necessary to take into account the allowance for pattern selection.
In addition to wallpaper you will need:
- Materials for leveling walls;
- Wallpaper adhesive selected taking into account the recommendations of the wallpaper manufacturer. For moisture-intensive walls - concrete or plastered - a primer is also required, preferably from the same manufacturer;
- A soft roller and brush for processing corners and other critical areas;
- A container for glue, such as a plastic bucket. The width of the container should be sufficient to wet the roller with glue;
- Hard roller for rolling wallpaper;
- Scissors or a utility knife for cutting wallpaper;
- Plumb.
Preparing the walls
In order for the wallpaper to stick well and not come off afterwards, the walls must be carefully prepared. This work must be completed before finishing work begins.
Gluing non-woven wallpaper
As already mentioned, when pasting walls, it is not necessary to apply glue to the wallpaper; the exception is when work is carried out in the hot season, when the glue on a concrete or plasterboard surface is instantly absorbed and dries. Before starting work, it is necessary to close all windows and doors to prevent drafts.
- Wallpaper on non-woven fabric is glued end-to-end, so it doesn’t matter where you start from. Usually, wide wallpaper It’s more convenient to start gluing from the most noticeable corner - the corners are often crooked, and if the middle of the canvas falls on them, creases occur, the wallpaper wrinkles, and you have to cut it. You can cut the wallpaper into sheets in advance, or you can cut it as you glue it, rolling out the roll directly next to the wall that is to be covered. The second method is more economical in terms of wallpaper consumption, however, it is more suitable for plain wallpaper for painting.
- Apply the glue to the wall with a roller, trying not to make any gaps. The corners, top of the wall and joints are additionally coated with a brush. Apply the wallpaper to the wall and align it from the center to the edges. Using a plumb line, check its verticality, level it if necessary, and then roll it with a hard roller until air is completely removed and bubbles are eliminated. Trim excess wallpaper with a sharp knife using a spatula or scissors.
- The next canvas is glued in the same way. If the wallpaper has large drawing, it is better to first apply the wallpaper to a dry wall, match the pattern and trim the wallpaper to size with a small allowance. The wallpaper is glued end-to-end, carefully rolling the joints of the panels with a roller and removing excess glue.
- If the corner is in the middle of the canvas, the wallpaper often lies unevenly. In this case, it is better to carefully cut them at the fold and glue the resulting parts separately, with a slight overlap, checking the verticality of the canvases. After gluing the wallpaper until the glue has completely dried, you must not open the windows and allow drafts to appear, otherwise the wallpaper will come off. If this does happen, the poorly glued areas are glued.
- Non-woven wallpaper is often glued as a basis for further painting. On the wallpaper packaging, the manufacturer usually indicates the type of paint, as well as the quantity admissible layers. For painting use paint for interior work, apply it with a roller. Tint the paint in desired color using color, in this case it is necessary to mix the entire required volume at once, so as not to have to select a shade later.
Non-woven wallpaper is an excellent finishing material; a wide selection of colors and textures will allow you to create a unified design, and the wallpaper will harmonize perfectly with any floor or ceiling covering.
If during renovation you want to update your walls with a high-quality and beautiful coating, construction counters will definitely offer non-woven wallpaper. The material has high performance characteristics and a lot of advantages, it looks great and is easy to care for.
Non-woven wallpaper - a durable and elegant coating
The main place in the composition of this roll web is occupied by cellulose fibers, which are natural ingredients. The rolls themselves are divided into two types:
- non-woven fabrics, created from several layers of 100% non-woven fabric, give texture to the topmost one;
- on a non-woven basis - include two layers, one of them is pressed from cellulose fibers, and on the second, various components (vinyl, paper, textiles, etc.) are applied, which form a relief pattern.
Advantages and characteristics of non-woven wallpaper for walls
Due to its positive factors and strength characteristics, this coating has gained popularity among buyers. Basic positive traits non-woven fabrics are given below:
- elimination of small irregularities due to its density and relief texture. It follows that there is no need for a perfectly smooth base surface;
- the existing versatility allows the material to be used on any surface;
- vapor permeability/fire resistance;
- safety for health, since the canvas is non-toxic;
- suitable for painting;
- good moisture resistance, which makes it possible to use them in the bathroom and kitchen;
- resistance to external influences guarantees durability.
How to properly stick non-woven wallpaper on a wall
Before you start attaching the canvas, you should prepare the base surface - clean it with fine-grained sandpaper from the old coating and glue.
Non-woven sheets have translucent properties. The base must be washed from inscriptions and various types of contaminants.
Then do the following:
- Remove switches and sockets.
- To prevent mold from appearing, prime the wall.
- Let it dry.
- Repair large chips and errors with gypsum putty.
- After the putty has dried (on average after a day), begin preparing the adhesive composition in accordance with the requirements.
- Measure the required heights, add a margin of 10 cm and cut the wallpaper strips.
- Apply the adhesive to the wall in a thick but even layer. Necessarily! The glue is applied exclusively to the walls. They do not need to cover the canvas.
If you have a picture, be sure to collate it before cutting so that the result looks like a single, complete picture.
Only after the operations have been completed is it permissible to proceed with the actual gluing. Holding the upper part of the cut strip, you need to attach it to the wall in such a way as to fix it evenly relative to the surface. Having secured the sheet at the top, you need to move to its bottom. After fixing, smooth the material using a roller or brush from the center to the edge. Remove excess glue with a rag. When applying the following sheets, it is worth properly smoothing the joint area.
What glue to use for non-woven wallpaper
Glue for this type of material is used with a special, thick consistency, since the canvas has considerable weight. The adhesive is gradually poured into a container with water, while constantly stirring the resulting solution. After thorough mixing, let the glue stand until it swells.
Excess adhesive solution can be left as a roller in a special plastic grid.
How to glue wide meter wallpaper
Rolls in most cases are one meter wide. This format saves time as the workflow goes faster. In addition, as a result of gluing, there will be half as many seams as compared to rolls 0.5 meters wide. The process of gluing meter-wide sheets of technology does not differ from the standard one.
Pasting walls with non-woven wallpaper in the corners
When gluing corner areas, you should follow simple rules:
- attach the canvas so that there is an overlap of 2 cm on the adjacent wall;
- do the same with the sheet on the adjacent wall;
- carefully apply pressure with your hand to the material along the entire height of the corner until it comes into contact with the wall;
- After drying, use a utility knife to remove excess fragments protruding onto the ceiling.
Features of the joint
Each strip is glued together end-to-end. Sometimes you can find brands whose instructions require you to overlap the sheets. It is important to smooth the joints especially carefully with a roller.
What is important to remember
Before work, it is necessary to calculate the amount of finishing material required: the sum of the areas of the walls and individual sections must coincide with the area of the roll multiplied by their number.
Throughout the entire working process and until the glue has completely dried, it is important to avoid drafts in the room.
It is worth gluing the wall with non-woven sheets from a corner area near the window.
Remove excess pieces of material with a stationery knife only after they have completely dried.
The non-woven covering for painting can be filled with color only after the glue has completely dried.
Do not rush to throw away the remaining finishing material. They can be useful for finishing small areas or correcting errors.
Follow the standard gluing technology, but be sure to first read the instructions on the roll. In case of differences, be guided by the latter.
Caring for non-woven wallpaper
To maintain cleanliness and good appearance finishing coating, it is enough to periodically wipe it with a damp sponge and vacuum it.
Covering walls with non-woven material means reliability, style and comfort in the home. The cost of rolls in this series can hardly be called low, but the quality is worth it. The room will sparkle with notes of elegance and nobility.
