By this publication, we continue the "wallpaper" the topic started in the article
"Want to start a new life? Change the wallpaper." It was a question that they are wallpapers, from which, what materials and technologies are used in their production, what is the scope of application and the cost of their species. At the end of the article, we talked about the diversity of existing foundations and some wallpaper coverage (paper, textile, fiberglass, metallized, cork)Today we will talk about other types of wallpapers: with a spicimentary coating, structural (intended for painting), photo wallpaper. You will learn their properties and get acquainted with the recommendations of gluing. For completeness, we offer a brief overview of the bulk glue market.
Polymer coating wallpaper
Today, many have installed windows from PVC in their house. Anekters have already managed to "repel" acrylic nails or buy a bath from acrylic. If you don't have any other, neither the third, then with polyethylene packages and plastic bags you in any case have to use. All of the above, as much more, are synthetic polymers, products of the chemical industry. Materials made by the method of synthesis on the database of vinyl or acrylic were widespread and in the production of wallpaper. Products with polymer coatings have won popularity due to its excellent consumer qualities: strength, light and water resistance.Vinyl coating is the most common wallpaper in the production. Polyvinyl chloride mass (Aimenno, it is called vinyl into the spaciousness) can be applied on paper or non-woven (usually phliselin) basis. Vinyl irrelevant sometimes looks so unusual that they do not immediately recognize. The variety of textures and surface patterns is achieved through the use of various technologies and adding all sorts of components.
There are 4-order of vinyl wallpaper covering: solid, smooth, so-called "silk-screen printing" and foamed vinyl. The solid vinyl when applied to the base forms a thin, but very dense layer, resistant to mechanical damage. Smooth (flat, bulk) as thin, as solid, but less carnated. "Silkography" is characterized by characteristic shine and silkiness. It even exists that silk threads are added to PVC. This is not true. A peculiar surface texture is achieved by the method of hot stamping. All three of the above wallpaper species usually have a paper base. Foamed vinyl coating can be applied not only on paper, but also on the nonwoven base. The manufacturer of the manufacture of PVC wallpaper is frozen under the action of high temperatures, and as a result, a deep surface relief is formed.
The disadvantage of most vinyl wallpapers should be recognized aerial resistance. That is why special adhesives containing fungicides and antiseptics are used to attach them to the wall. However, it has recently begun to produce products with special micropores in the structure of the vinyl coating. These pores, according to the manufacturers and sellers, act on the valve principle, that is, they allow the walls to be ventilated and at the same time prevent moisture penetration. Hospitality, the cost of such wallpapers with a solid vinyl coated (for example, produced by the Belgian design group Arte) is very high, and therefore not everyone can enjoy their technical perfection. Acceptance of cases when it comes to the wallpaper of the average price range, the air permeability of the coating is accompanied by its water permeability.
The question of the ecological purity of vinyl and other synthetic polymers remains open. Naturally, there are certificates of quality on all wallpapers in stores, in which it is written that the products of such a manufacturer "ingredian-haptic and sanitary and chemical indicators correspond to sanitary and hygienic requirements." The current paper contains the following information: "Formaldehyde emission, DOF, DBF does not exceed the PDC" (i eat maximum permissible concentrations). Next is a set of numbers expressed in the tenths and hundredths of a milligram on a cubic meter.
Of course, there is nothing to fear, but it does not hurt to progress. In order not to doubt the environmental impeccability of the walls in the rooms designed to relax (especially children's and bedrooms), it is better to abandon the use of vinyl wallpaper. AB Other Premises The synthetic polymer will serve you faithfully: he is not afraid or heat, nor moisture, and pollution from its surface is not difficult to launder. In the kitchen and in the bathroom most often applied foam and smooth wallpaper varieties. Gostny and canteens are good "silk-screen" that imitates the texture of the fabric and makes the rooms in the elegant. For the hallways and holls will suit any varieties of "Vinyl".
Most of the Wallpapers sold in Russia are imported, or rather, Western European production. Rasch, Legocol, Erismann, Ascreation (Germany), Emiliana Parati, Murella, Zumbaiti Parati, Sirpi, Italian Decori (Italy), Grantil, Venilia, Essef (France), CWVGroup (Johnwilman and Vymura Trademarks), Imperial Home Decor Group, Grahambrown (United Kingdom), BninterNational (Netherlands), Azcoaga (Spain), Graboplast (Hungary) and some others offer such a wide selection of multi-colored rolls, from which literally ripples in the eyes. We produce vinyl wallpapers and enterprises of Russia and CIS countries: "Mosstroyplastmass" (Moscow region. Technical paper factory "(Ukraine, Chernihiv region, trademark" Slavic wallpaper "). Products of domestic manufacturers, of course, is cheaper imported, but also its assortment is not so great. The price of the standard Roll "Vinyl" (10,050,53 m) of the production of Russia and the CIS countries is 120-180 rubles, foreign production - 150-600 rubles. and higher.
Acrylic coating is usually combined with a paper base. Wallpaper manufacturing technology is to apply a polymer with a dropping method, that is, separate splashes (WTO, the time as vinyl is applied to the base). The embossed pattern on the surface has the type of strokes with a thick brush or separate convex points.
Wallpaper with acrylic coating is good almost everywhere, especially in the front rooms: living rooms, canteens, halls, hallways, etc. Avot for kitchens and bathrooms they are not suitable, because there is not enough water and wear-resistant (due to the inhomogeneity of the coating).
Learn such products a few domestic and foreign firms, including the Moscow Oboh Factory, Koryukovskaya FTB and Dnepromine (Ukraine), Coswig (Germany), Gomeloboi (Belarus), Eco (Sweden). The cost of one roll of acrylic wallpaper production of the CIS countries is about 70-100 rubles, made abroad, 160-180 rubles.
Wallpaper with polypropylene coating found in the Russian market infrequently. The production of polypropylene is applied to the paper base and foams during heat treatment. Innurior, such wallpapers are called "Subtheter". Unas in the country has become a well-known brand of the UPRilex Italian company Montecolino. Thanks to the specific texture and thickness of the upper layer, the products have increased sound-absorbing properties.
The scope of applying wallpaper under felt is limited to rooms with normal temperature and humidity. They are used in living rooms, canteens, cabinets, halls, etc. Prices are high: 1m2- from 120 to 200 rub.
Structural wallpapers (under painting)
This is a whole group of wallpapers combined by the deep relief of the coverage and the absence of a multicolor pattern. Structural (or textured) Wallpaper has recently been very popular, so I want to tell about them in more detail.
With their manufacture, a variety of materials are used in certain combinations. As always, there are base and coating. Refractors of structural wallpapers Coating - foamed vinyl, the base is paper. The wallpapers are usually white, that is, generally unprised. It is less common to color, predominantly warm pastel tones: gentle green, yellow, cream, blue and pink. Colored background allows you to get an unusual shade after staining. However, such wallpapers can be used without further processing (for example, Novaboss Color from Erfurt or Moderolle from Erismann).
There are two-layer paper wallpapers for painting, similar to a familiar duplex, but greater thickness and density. These products are impregnated with a special pallberry composition and even after multiple staining retain their water resistance.
An interesting variety of paper structural wallpapers are the so-called coarse-fiber (rough) wallpaper. The relief of their surface is achieved not by traditional embossed, but by the placement method between the smooth layers of the foundation and coating wood chip-waste of woodworking production. The size of "sawdust" determine the small or large surface structure (for example, in the Rauhfaser collection from Erfurt).
Another type of structural fiberglass wallpaper (for example, Wallton from Rasch, Rollover from Erismann, Profi Deco from Mohr and Patent Decor from Marburg, Germany). These products are distinguished by high strength (including a gap) and beautiful masking properties: they smooth irregularities and without a trace hide cracks on the walls.
The main advantage of structural wallpaper is the possibility of their multiple repainting. For this, any dispersion paint is usually suitable, including a wedge-emulsion (about all departures from standard technology you can read on a roll). Wallpapers are kept from 5 to 15 sled paint, while maintaining water resistance.
The dimensions of the rolls of structural equipment are often different from the standard (10,050,53 m) towards the increase. You can meet the indicators 170.53; 251.06; 33.50.53 and even 1250.75m (!). The boost length allows economically to spend the material and practically get rid of cropping, and the double width helps twice the amount of joints (due to this they become less noticeable). Rolls of a huge size longer than 100m are usually used in office, industrial premises or in houses with non-standard high ceilings. ERFURT, RASCH, MARBURG, MOHR, ERISMANN, ASCREATION and some others are especially famous for the manufacture of these fashionable products.
Structural wallpapers are used in different premises. They are good on the walls on the walls, and in the pristine white-tap. Roll cost 10,050,53m- 150-220rub., And roll 251,06m- 600-1200 rubles. The strained wallpaper of 15m at a price of ten meters (Giganto collections from Rasch and Grandioso from Ascreation) appeared. There is a roll with a width of 0.53m.
Photo wallpaper
They are a cloth of paper, which photographically cause fragments of large paintings, most often with the image of landscapes and landscapes. Pictures can consist of one piece (apparel) or two, four or more (for a whole wall). When gluing photo walls, you need to carefully monitor the docking of individual parts and drawing lines. Produces such products both domestic and foreign firms are produced, - for example, the "Moscow Oboy Factory", Scandecor (Germany) and some others. Most often, the photo wallpaper can be seen in the living room. But why not "put a piece of nature into the bedroom or in the kitchen? So nice to distract from the bustle and relax a little, without leaving the house! The price of photo wallpapers is proportional to their size. A small canvas (apparel) of domestic production will cost you 90-100 rubles, a similar import product - 140 rubles. and more.Borders and friezes
This refers to the narrow wallpapers, intended for additional decoration of the walls. The drawing of these elements is combined with the main pattern of the surface, and sometimes it contrasts effectively. The insertion of the Soviet tutorial "paint and luggage work" was called a band of wallpaper width 15-25 cm, and a frieze-more 25cm. Now there is no such tough distinction, the word "border" is more often used.
Traditionally, the border is attached (online or braziness, depending on the thickness of the wallpaper) under the ceiling, and usually after the end of the main work on the waters. In addition, it is now fashionable to use this decorative element in the form of a horizontal line separating the wall to the upper and lower parts covered with different wallpaper. Borders are sold complete with wallpaper or separately. Vahromic volume catalogs (usually Western manufacturers) can be seen as combined with different borders of certain types of wallpaper.
Wallpaper properties of different types
The water resistance is called the ability of wallpaper not to collapse under the influence of water for a certain time. Almost all modern products have this property, but in varying degrees. Waterproof wallpapers are intended for premises with normal humidity: living rooms, bedrooms, children's, corridors, etc. Fresh glue stains can be removed from the wet walls with a wet sponge. The least waterproof, as a rule, paper wallpapers. Washable and supest (especially persistent) are used in rooms with large moisture fluctuations: in kitchens, in toilets and bathrooms. Pollution from the surface of washable wallpaper is removed by a wet sponge, and the superto-solid of a light soap solution and a sponge. Most of all "love to wash" vinyl and varnish coatings, fewer. Asteklood, for example, it is worth recognizing both washable and cleaning, since their surface is impregnated with a special water repellent composition. As a result, they can be regularly rubbed with a brush with a detergent.Wear resistance is the resistance of wrapping wallpaper during a specified life. The most durable, little product damage is needed in those rooms that are especially intensively operating: if you, corridors, in kitchens, etc. The wear-resistant is considered to be a vinyl coating wallpaper (in a century structural under painting), as well as glass.
The light resistance is called the ability to cover the wallpaper without changing the color under the action of sunlight. Light resistance can be limited and high. Its degree depends on which paintwork materials were used in the manufacture of coating. Camnicious light-resistant usually include domestic paper wallpaper, to the maximum light-resistant import vinyl. Resistance to the effects of light is important for all rooms, but is particularly relevant for bright sunny rooms, the windows of which come to the south or east.
Sound absorption is called the ability of wallpaper to absorb sounds and reduce the power of the sound in the room. Sound-absorbing properties are most pronounced in thick and relief wallpaper.
Air permeability is, as it is easy to guess, the ability to skip air. It is necessary so that the walls under the wallpaper do not "hurt" and did not become a refuge of mold or fungus. Paper wallpaper has the greatest breathability.
The masking properties of the wallpaper consist in their ability to hide small defects of the surface of the walls. The thicker and the relief of the product, the better they do it. Glassworks, as well as wallpapers with relief coatings are highly masking: embossed, structural and foamed.
Some labeling recommendations
The quality and durability of wall coverage and ceilings are largely dependent on what wallpaper you purchased. However, the professionalism of the artist and compliance with certain rules has no less important. An important role is played by the choice of a suitable wallpaper glue. Asinstructions for gluing can be read on the glue packing, and on the wallpaper roll.
We advise those who do not have experience in repair, do not try to experiment and invite the team of specialists. If I really want to try, select the wallpaper cheaper, so that in the event of failure there was no offense.
Preparation of the surface is the first and most important stage of work. If your walls or ceilings have previously been saved by wallpaper, there will be a little problem. It is only necessary to remove the old layer, wetting it with warm water, into which you can add a detergent or a 5-10% glue solution. If this does not help, use a special wallpaper removal fluid (for example, Quelyd Dissoucol, France). In the current case, the old coating will have to grind or perforated (to do holes in it) so that the water penetrates inside. The perfect option is to glue fresh wallpapers based on the previous ones. As we already know, many modern wallpaper are double-lying. Therefore, their coating is removed in dry form, without requiring moisture, and the base remains on the wall. To find out, the base is well glued, try to moisten it with water in several places, and then check whether bubbles are not formed.
If walls or ceilings are flooded with wallpaper for the first time, the surface must be previously processed. It should become smooth (but slightly rough), dry, clean and chemically neutral. Having freezing paint is required to remove, crack-cake. It is best to apply a layer of primer on the surface, then the wallpaper will be tightly kept and not spoiled from the walls. We recommend to stick to the soil special paper, which is produced, like wallpapers, in the form of rolls (for example, on the "Moscow wobbling factory"). Previously, when the wallpaper was subtle and fragile, the walls under them were always wondered by old newspapers.
The only contraindication for sticking the wallpaper surface. This problem is often encountered by newcomers entering "freshly" houses. First, it is recommended to simply wait until the walls and ceilings are dried (pinchot estimates, plastered surfaces become dry after 6 weeks). If the moisture does not disappear, try to harvest the surface with a weak solution of the wallpaper glue.
The preparation of rolls is to cut them into stripes corresponding to the height of the walls or the length of the ceiling in the room. Pay attention to the marking symbols available on the package of each roll (their decoding can be found in the article
"How to get to the shore in the ocean of wallpaper." If the drawing dock is required, you must provide allowances. Now almost all wallpapers are made without edges, so it's nothing to trim around the edges.Installation. For high-quality attachment of wallpaper to the surface, you need to prepare glue (conversation with the instruction of its manufacturer), evenly apply to the lane and give it to soak. The saturation time of glue for paper wallpaper (single and drench) is 5-7 minutes, for other types of paper-based wallpapers (inters with polymer coating) - 8-10 minutes. Wallpaper on fabric and nonwoven basics Mounting is very easy: glue must be applied directly on the wall, and not on the canvas. The bands do not need to soak, they are hung in a dry form.
Many modern wallpapers have a rather large thickness, so adjacent canvas connect to each other. Vangest is pasted only subtle varieties, mostly paper.
Start glue wallpaper follows from windows (Ie from that place where sunlight goes from the room). This rule concerns wall mounted, and ceiling options.
Overseas adhesives
To keep the wallpaper well, you need to choose suitable glue. Immediately alleged that some types of wallpapers are produced with an adhesive layer already applied (approximately both on the back of the postage grades). To activate glue, it is enough to wet the foundation with water. Standing "self-adhesive" varieties almost like ordinary, but allow you to avoid many hassle. An example of an example can be brought with vinyl coating of the English company Imperial Home Decor Group (Crown and Shand Kydd trademarks). Some of their varieties are produced with a glue layer, others without it. It is a standard roll of those and other at least 250 rubles.
Overseas adhesives are usually divided into universal and special. Universal are intended for all types of wallpaper, special, for vinyl coating products. The first is a little cheaper than the second. In principle, the vinyl wallpaper can be attached and with the help of universal glue, but then a large concentration of the solution is needed (kettle). Naturally, the flow rate of dry matter increases. Universal and special adhesives are usually sold in packages of different colors: green and purple, respectively.
On packs of glue, you can meet not quite understandable inscriptions: "For light wallpaper" or "for heavy wallpaper." Under the closer look, it turns out that the lungs are mainly called paper varieties, and heavy, all others: vinyl, acrylic, textile, cork, metallized, glassy, and structural under painting. Some glue manufacturers allocate the third "weight category" of the "Middle Severity" wallpaper. More typically involves products with textile and acrylic coatings. Glue for light wallpapers (for example, Methylcellulose, which was produced in the USSR), is made on the basis of methylcellululose, for heavy (in the current number, all familiar "bustylate") - on the basis of PVA (polyvinyl acetate emulsion). Some formulations are made only from natural raw materials, for example, modified starch (remember how our parents have cooked a hub in a saucepan at the time of total deficit?), And are intended for all types of wallpaper. Due to the fact that the production of this glue uses the latest technologies, it, with the complete absence of synthetic components, can "hold" even heavy vinyl cloths. A vivid example of the French kleo.
The composition of modern adhesives often includes some fungicide or antiseptic. These additives prevent the spread of fungus, mold and bacteria under the wallpaper.
Wallpaper glue is usually sold in bundles in the form of dry matter. Make from it a hubble is not difficult. For this adhesive powder, it is necessary to pour water, mix and let it swell. The volume of water in which the dry matter needs to be dissolved, and the glue preparation time is usually indicated on the package. In addition, on the front side of the pack is always written, for what number of wallpaper rolls it is designed. If there are no intelligible instructions in Russian on the package, it is better to give up the purchase of this glue.
In recent years, special types of wallpaper glue appeared on sale: for borders (for example, RASCH) and even for the joints of the COLLE RACCORDS (Quelyd Colle Raccords).
The choice of wobbly adhesives in the Russian market is very large. We counted several dozen producers, each of which produces several types of products. Among the imported adhesives, we received the greatest fame of the French trademarks Quelyd (ATOFINDLEY) and Kleo (Ascott Trading). German producers Pufas and Dufa are well acquainted with Russian buyers. In addition to specialized enterprises, glue produce wallpaper manufacturers, including German firms Legocol, Rasch, Ascreation and Fintex. There are many domestic manufacturers on the market, they attract customers with rather low prices on their products. In many outlets, "CMC-H", "Bustilat" are offered (several enterprises are manufactured), "Moment" (manufacturer "ERA" together with the German company Henkel, Tosno Leningrad region), "Tex" ("Tex ", St. Petersburg), Profi Quick (" Ekohimtereid ", Moscow)," Polygran "(" Polygran-Service ", Moscow)," Amil "(" Moscow Oboy Factory ") and others. The cost of the package of imported wallpaper glue is 40-60 rubles, domestic - from 10 to 40 rubles.
Do you need to stick wallpaper yourself? This question will have to answer you, dear readers. If you are not sure of your own, it is better to attract specialists to this case. But do not forget that their services are not cheaper at all: about $ 3-6 for 1m2 surface. For example, the wrapping of the walls in just one room will cost you $ 100-200, not counting the price of the walls themselves. In addition, in the process of preparing surfaces, problems often arise, the solution of which requires additional expenses.
