Are bathroom wallpapers reliable?

Finishing the bathroom with wallpaper seems like a strange idea at first glance. But many practice this method and are satisfied with the result: the coating is held, and the room looks original. What wallpaper is worth using?

Varieties of moisture-proof wallpaper

For the bathroom, it is advisable to purchase moisture-resistant coatings that are not exposed to water, do not become sap and do not grow moldy. At the same time, they retain their original appearance for several years, do not undergo a temperature difference, soapy smudges can be easily removed from them with a damp cloth.

Two options are suitable for pasting walls in the bathroom:

1. Vinyl wallpapers - do not change their shape and color from the action of aggressive chemicals or from cleaning with hard brushes. The vinyl coating does not fade, does not peel off due to hot water.
2. Cullets - the material of this coating - modified starch with an admixture of fiberglass. The coating has the same properties as vinyl: it does not fade, does not become sap, and does not lend itself to chemical and mechanical action.

Alternative option

For those who want to update the interior in the bathroom, but vinyl or glass can not afford it, there are self-adhesive wallpapers. It is also easy to remove any impurities from them; they are not afraid of jets of hot water.

Self-adhesive wallpaper is created as an imitation of satin, wooden cork, plastic and many other textures. The coating is easy to attach to the wall: you do not need to pick up and spread glue, and then apply it to each wallpaper. It is enough to remove the film from the back and stick it on the wall.

There is an option more expensive - buy wallpaper with any image. So the bathroom in one day can be transformed into a sea beach or a city with many lights. There are a lot of design options for photo wallpaper. The main thing is to stick the image without bubbles, then the picture will please the eye for a long time.

Liquid wallpaper

Despite the fact that previously liquid wallpaper did not differ in high moisture resistance, now everything is different. On the construction market there is any option including coatings that are not exposed to water.

Liquid wallpaper is very diverse in color and texture. They are a cross between decorative plaster and real wallpaper. The basis of the composition includes fibers from viscose, silk or other natural additives.

Liquid wallpaper can imitate natural stone or plaster, have sequins or be matte. Sold as dry formulations, diluted with water, applied with a spatula.
