What comes first, wallpaper or stretch ceiling: what is the sequence

Repair is a crucial stage in life, during which it is difficult to foresee all the nuances. Recently, stretch ceilings have gained immense popularity as a decoration. They are easy to install, easy to maintain and look great. But during the work, everyone, without exception, has a question: what to do in the first place - to glue the wallpaper or install the canvas?

The answer is unequivocal - first we put a stretch ceiling, and then we do wall decoration. But there are many conditions and alternative methods that take place in decorating a room.

Consider in detail the rationale in the article.

What comes first - wallpaper or stretch ceiling?

For those who are engaged in renovation and have chosen stretch ceilings as a surface finish, this question will inevitably arise. Most often a categorical answer can't give even in companies

, where they are professionally engaged in the installation of canvases. In the meantime, the person faces a serious dilemma and risks spoiling the result of the work already done.

The canvases are very fragile, they can be damaged during pasting. At the same time, when installing the baguette, there is dust and dirt that will ruin the newly glued wallpaper.

There are three options for the development of events. Below we will consider each of them and see how best to act in a given situation.

Ceiling after pasting

This option is the most common. It is most often offered by installers, because they absolutely I do not want the results of the work to be damaged in the course of further renovation. That is why the canvases are pulled last.

This repair procedure is acceptable and even desirable so as not to spoil the delicate fabric. But it should be remembered that dust appears when the punch is in operation. And you can't do without it during the installation of the baguette.

There is an alternative way out - a hammer drill with a built-in vacuum cleaner. In this case, the developing dust immediately falls into the dust collector.

The alternative costs extra money, but the person will remain confident in the cleanliness of the wall covering. Otherwise, when drilling, all the dust will settle on the wallpaper. There is no guarantee that it will subsequently be completely removed with a vacuum cleaner.

Wallpaper after the ceiling

The second, less common way. Experts recommend using it only if the repair is carried out by professional teams. When repairing yourself, you can it is easy to damage the tensioning web. After all, it is very fragile and will break from accidental contact with a sharp object or rough impact on it.

In addition, this option allows you to reduce the consumption of wallpaper or paint. The boundaries of the ceiling are already clearly marked, you don't have to waste material on pasting the invisible part. To protect against glue or paint drips, the ceiling surface can always be covered with a foil.

Step-by-step installation

In our opinion, this method is the most correct. The point is the phased installation of ceiling details and wallpapering. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

• specialists carry out the necessary measurements and make the canvas;
• during production, they come to the client's address and install the baguette;
• then the walls are glued to the level to the already installed profile for the canvas;
• the final stage will be the installation of stretch ceilings and the fastening of the decorative plinth.

This option will require additional costs from the client, because specialists will visit the address several times. However, in our opinion, this is the correct procedure for which it is worth overpaying. It will not endanger already papered walls or a stretched ceiling. The room will be clean and tidy.

Which is the best way?

As mentioned above, we consider step-by-step installation correct and reasonable. But more often, to save the customer's money and the installers' nerves, this method is not specified at all.

In this case, we advise you to pay attention to the installation of the ceiling after wallpapering the walls. After all, cleaning the wallpaper from dust with a vacuum cleaner is much easier than restoring a torn or stained ceiling.

Your right to choose any of the presented ways. It cannot be categorically asserted that the finishing is carried out in the specified order. But the recommendations of manufacturers and installers are inclined towards a similar scheme of work.
