Home repair: Home: 5 stages of proper wallpapering

Remove the old coating without the hassle. Conventional wallpaper thoroughly moistened with water, walk on them with a damp sponge or rags, if necessary repeat. Wet canvases are easily removed with a scraper or spatula. Particularly "difficult" areas can pass a ferry from the nozzle of a pre-boiling kettle. If this method also did not give the proper result - get a tool in the hardware store to remove the wallpaper.

The primer is an obligatory technological stage: cleaning the walls and applying a special layer will ensure reliable coupling of the wallpaper to the surface, prolong the life of the wallpaper and substantially simplify the process of gluing itself. In addition, the primer will allow the wallpaper to lie on the wall smoothly - without "bubbles" and peeling corners.

Pay special attention to the choice of glue - when buying, give preference to the product that is best suited for the chosen wallpaper (paper, textile, vinyl or velor). If you do not have experience with wallpaper, get an adhesive with a color indicator - when applied to the surface, this solution will change the shade. The color will disappear in a few minutes, but this time is enough for the correct labeling of the canvas.

Prepare cuts of wallpaper in advance. Cut the required number of sheets, adding indents along the length - this is necessary to align the cut on the wall. Printed and patterned canvases align along the lines of drawings ahead of time.

Perform the roughing. Start from the corner - measure the width of the canvas, passing the line with a vertical line. Use a plumb - the walls in apartment buildings are rarely flawlessly flat. Determine the number of necessary cloths, if necessary, replenish the stock of prepared cuts of wallpaper.
