The frescoes will help create an atmosphere, for example, a small Mediterranean town.
The process of creating traditional frescoes is complicated, labor crews and durable. The painting requires filigree skill and accuracy of execution, since it is almost impossible to correct the drawing. Comparison of the art composition created by a real artist, and modern frescoes with a printed pattern from the point of view of production technology is equivalent to comparing the picture and poster. However, it is necessary to recognize that the vision of the artist does not always coincide with the presentation of the customer, and the result of the work can be perceived ambiguously. The manufacturer of the large (2.7 × 3 m) frescoes of the master takes at least 1.5-2 months, while the printed pattern on the canvas can be obtained in 5-10 days. Yes, and the cost of 1 m² of finished products differs more than 6 times, which undoubtedly serves as a weighty argument when choosing a decor type. But, as in the old days, modern frescoes become an element of decoration, a decorative emphasis, around which the interior of the room is formed.
Frescoes on the flieslinic basis are able to decorate not only flat walls and ceilings, but also convex and concave surfaces, angular or round
Modern frescoes
The basis of high-quality interior frescoes is most often served by a nonwoven fabric - Flizelin. It is covered with thin (1-3 mm) layer of elastic plaster, which is reliably fixed due to the binder.

Applying different tools and application techniques, varying the number of layers, prepare surfaces with a variety of textures. After drying, a colorful decor is applied by digital printing. Technological equipment provides high color transmission accuracy, smaller parts and a large image format. In some companies, the size of the seamless canvases is achieved at a height of 3.26 m, and in width of 10.2 m! So, any wall in the room can be framed without junctions.
By the way, with traditional frescoes, these innovative products are related to the fact that in a number of firms, the main details of the printed pattern draw professional artists. After that, the surface is covered with varnish or other protecting and strengthening agents. The finished fresco is wounded into a roll, like ordinary wallpapers, and pack in a hard tube. In the domestic market, this type of decorative wall decoration offers Applico, orthogram, affresco, FresConovo. Cost 1 m² - from 3990 rubles.
Small pulp on the fresco can be corrected by the paint method of tampony. More serious damage fixes the artist
Beautiful and safe textures
The main features of the frescoes are a relief surface and a wide variety of textures. The most popular - placer crews on the surface of the drawing, which turn any image into the artistic rary. The effect of the antiquity varies from small, barely noticeable cracks to pronounced deep and clear. The canvas with chaotic and unevenly arranged cracks imitate naturally aged murals. Very spectacular gold or silver filling of cracker. Under the rays of the sun or electric lamps, it creates the illusion of magical radiance.
When choosing a fresco texture on a fliesline basis, it is necessary to be guided not only to aesthetics, but also the area of application of decor. So, thin and light canvases are suitable for decorating the ceilings, most comfortable in the installation. Their homogeneous surface may be embossed, consisting of alternating rough and semi-wave sections, or similar to sandy smooth. For premises with high humidity it is better to choose wear-resistant products with a more dense plastering layer, the relief of which resembles wide strokes of the artist's brushes or a surface decorated with decorative plaster.
To create a fresco with a small relief, visually reminiscent of velor tissue, use a plaster mix of the smallest fractions. Such a canvas is the perfect option for the children's room, where safety selection criterion is safety: in case of a fall, the kid does not scratch on the surface of the wall.

Frescoes on a fliesline basis are fixed by a special composition or glue for flieslinic wallpaper. The fresco will not be swollen and will not suck if there is no draft or a fan in the room. Otherwise, the surface layer will dry and sweep faster than the canvas stick to the base.
