Wallpapers
Style, convenience, aristocracy - these are the inherent characteristics of modern high-quality wallpapers. How to choose the right ones? Check out our guidelines!
Which are the best wallpapers?
Wallpapers have numerous properties that make them a preferred wall covering. They can be applied on various wall surfaces, create warmth, and bring atmosphere to the room. They also hide small imperfections on the walls. Different advantages of wallpapers can become decisive factors when making your choice.
- Durable coating: One of the advantages of top offerings is if the design has a vinyl or PVC coating. This allows for easy cleaning. Additionally, it can create the effect of mosaic, tiles, fabric. Vinyl models have a lifespan of up to 10 years. They don't retain odors, are moisture-resistant, and have an antibacterial layer.
- Another important characteristic that distinguishes premium models is the fleece backing. Wallpapers with this backing are not only more durable but also allow the wall to breathe. The fleece backing can come with or without any of the aforementioned coatings.
- If you're looking for models with a luxurious and visually impressive appearance, you may consider some of the impressive textile options, ones with velvet or metallic finishes, elements of bird feathers, fiberglass, or wood.
- Perhaps price is a leading factor for you? In that case, one of the suitable options for your search would be some of the paper-based models. Their advantage, in addition to being cost-effective, is their eco-friendliness. Among the collections of paper wallpapers, you can also find colorful, visually striking, and textured varieties.
- Consider their resistance. Pay attention to the special symbols added to the description of each type. Some wallpapers are resistant to light dampness, others to washing, while some are highly waterproof and can withstand cleaning with a cleaning solution and brush. In terms of light resistance, pay attention to the sun symbol. Half, full, plus, or two suns indicate the degrees of resistance to sunlight without fading.
How to apply wallpapers:
Applying wallpapers is a task that is usually within the capabilities of DIY enthusiasts. However, to achieve optimal results, it is important to follow a few important steps.
Preparation is key - remove the old layer of wallpaper and prime the walls. Prepare a dry and smooth surface where you will apply the adhesive to the back of the wallpaper. Choose the adhesive according to the type of wallpaper you have selected and dilute it as per the instructions.
When measuring the height of the wall, add an extra 10 cm before cutting the necessary piece.
Before sticking the first piece, draw a vertical line as a reference point for where to place it. Use a level to ensure that each subsequent piece is also vertical, following the alignment of the first piece. Always match the patterns to the previously applied piece.
Start pasting from the top and work your way down. If there is any air trapped under the wallpaper, use a cloth or a special tool to push it out from the inside.
