Taping and dock Wallpaper: common issues ↑
Not to cut the canvas material in the crease, angles in the room should be strictly straight and vertical! In this case, the problems with wrapping at all would not arise. However, rooms with geometrically correct settings there, and every corner, in particular the height will be crooked.
As you work more and more often you’ll see distortions. May form the uneven pattern on the floor and flow. Therefore, to properly form the junction of the Wallpapers need to put a lot of effort.
Choosing the finishing material, make sure they are made of the material that is necessary in your case. To work with the paper web more difficult. Apply glue and paste over a wall as quickly as possible, as Wallpaper can quickly spread. To correctly attach a picture in this case, it is very difficult, you need to be prepared that the process will deteriorate more than one canvas.
By choosing the Wallpaper with a vinyl coating, will have to work in a different way. After promazyvanija of fabric glue, you need to leave it for a while, so it soaked. For fixing the rubber Wallpaper rollers are used, as most types of vinyl Wallpaper have a very gentle spray, and the only way to maintain their gorgeous look. Particularly much attention should be paid to fixing the dock and Wallpaper in the corners, because irregularities can distort the picture.
Non-woven Wallpaper glue much easier than previous types of finishing materials, as they do not need to coat glue, enough to treat only the surface of the wall.
Join the fabric you need according to the following principle: the higher density have the Wallpaper, the less you need to do the overlap. In the case of fiberglass, the fabric needs to be glued back to back – even the smallest trim will be visible in the corners.
How to glue and join Wallpaper: the algorithm ↑
Once the primer dries, you can start pasting.
To do the work well, try to work with the following algorithm:
- Using a plumb-line, procardia vertical strip at a distance of 15 cm from the corner. This place is to begin marking to the strip is smooth, and attach a picture was easier.
- If the selected material has no pattern, the strip can be cut at once, but if on the surface of the drawing they need to correctly attach, and fabric you need to cut as needed. To carry out work on a large table or on the floor equal. The working surface has to be dry.
- Prepare glue. Each package provides user manual, which can be used to obtain the necessary material. Don’t try to make him more than necessary, as the remaining glue can deteriorate until the next day.
- When the working surface is ready, you can begin to work. Measure the desired amount of material + a small margin, neatly cut flap of the canvas.
The adhesive is applied to the canvas itself (except for non-woven Wallpaper). To correctly carry out the installation carefully lay the Wallpaper on the floor, facedown, on the reverse side carefully applied glue. Treated the cut folded edges to the center, the material soaked.
- Proceed directly to pasting. Gently razlejte cut, and start taping from the top of the ceiling. Gluing the first half, carefully flatten it and expel the air using a special spatula. Need to move from the center to the edges. In the case of excess glue, it should remove clean and slightly damp cloth.
- You can now go to the bottom of the band. It also needs to be carefully ironed out, and get rid of the air. Excess Wallpaper at the bottom to be cut with a knife.
- A new blade needs to glue the butt joint with the previous one, this will help to avoid curvature, differences in the patterns, and, of course, the joints will not be as noticeable.
If fabric with a pattern, then before you do the cut and apply the glue, you must first attach the drawing from the previous sheet, which is glued to the wall. When you have aligned the pattern, you can proceed to the steps indicated in the algorithm.
All upholstery joints need «pass» with a spatula, this will help prevent peeling and will provide good bonding. If you use rollers at the joints, you should be careful, because some manufacturers of tapestries warn that their use is not necessary.
How to correctly attach the Wallpaper on the corners: step-by-step algorithm ↑

When a geometric figure, the distortion should be minimal. The Wallpaper with vertical lines of distortion in the corners is pronounced. The horizontal pattern is heavily skewed towards the ceiling and skirting boards and canvases overlap will be more pronounced.
To avoid such hassles is:
- to do a small overlap to the adjacent wall;
