How to perfectly trim wallpaper overlaps

In the house, in the apartment or in the working environment, the glued wallpaper plays a significant role in the style of the interior, when hosting guests or customers in the room and their location to you as the owner, so this type of repair should be treated responsibly.

It is important to remember that if you want to save or paste the wallpaper yourself, it is necessary work hard during this process, but you can do it the easy way by choosing a team of specialists in this issue.

What will be needed for wallpapering?

To start the repair, it is necessary to free the room from all that is superfluous, prepare wallpaper, deliberately calculating the right amount with a margin, a knife with removable blades that easily cuts plastic, paper, drywall. In addition to all this, you will need more sharp scissors, a building level and a wedge.

What should be considered before gluing the selected material?

It is easier to glue monophonic wallpaper, it is more difficult to have with photo wallpaper or with unusual drawings. To cut the wallpaper, you first need to cover the floor with a protective film. By measuring the height of the wall and the width of the wallpaper, the number of whole sheets of wallpaper per roll and the total amount that will be spent on gluing a room are calculated.

The easiest method of cutting is gluing wallpaper of a monophonic type, since the height of the wall allows you to trim the wallpaper 1 cm less (top stretch ceilings or skirting boards are used), and from the bottom you can trim the wallpaper from 3 to 5 cm, depending on what size the skirting will be installed.

If your wallpaper has a picture and you need to paste them without taking into account the image displacement, then this procedure can be performed in two ways:

1. First, the wallpaper is trimmed based on the measured wall height, then the distance between one and the other element of the picture is measured. In order for the wallpaper patterns to match, you need to multiply the number of elements at the junction by the distance between them. For example, the height of the wall is 2500 mm, for a wallpaper of this size there are 5 equally spaced drawings, the distance between them is 540 mm. So, the next canvas should have a length of 2700 mm, thereby providing an unnecessary cut of elements and performing gluing without unnecessary frills;

2. The following sheet with an overlap of 30 to 50 mm is applied on the pasted wallpaper on a flat wall. The sheet is glued and lightly pressed at the junction, and then with the help of a ruler and blade, it cuts evenly joint, which allows you to evenly cut the upper and lower overlap element, ensuring an even joint between wallpaper.
