How to glue wallpaper with fit in the corners of the walls of the apartment

Wallpapering is one of the important stages of repair in any room. Many people order this service from professionals, but having done everything with their own hands, you can save a significant part of the budget. In general, sticking does not require special skills. The most important thing is to properly prepare the foundation by leveling the surface of the walls, filling small defects and bumps and carefully primed it.

The only difficulty faced by almost all people who decide to stick wallpaper on their own is gluing room corners.

Wallpapering Tools

Before carrying out work, you need to prepare all the materials and tools. The standard list includes:

• Rolls of selected wallpapers;
• Special glue that can be purchased at the store or prepared independently;
• Roulette wheel;
• Pencil;
• Stationery knife and sharp scissors;
• Long ruler;
• Roller for applying adhesive;
• A rag for grouting joints and a brush to get rid of air bubbles.

How to glue the outer corners in the room?

In order for the wallpaper to fit snugly to the corner of the room, you need to correctly measure them. The canvas should not only overlap the corner itself, but also go to the adjacent side. Part of the wallpaper glued to an adjacent wall should be at least 5 cm wide.

Categorically it is impossible to glue the corner with a single roll of wallpaper, because in this case the wall will appear air bubbles and wrinkles, which will be difficult to get rid of, and sometimes even impossible.

Wallpaper should be glued to the corner of the walls gradually and only from the top. To do this, you need to bend the wallpaper in a corner under the ceiling so that they independently wrap around the ledge. The next layer must be glued with an overlap on the resulting strip. It is important to pay attention to the patterns or patterns on the surface, which should completely match.

How to glue the internal corners of the room?

Internal corners need to be glued with an overlap. As in the previous case, the entry of wallpaper on an adjacent wall should vary within 5 cm. It is worth remembering that it is in the corners of the wallpaper that most often peel off, and therefore, before applying them, you need to not only carefully glue the roll itself with adhesive, but also the surface of the walls.

To avoid overly thick wallpaper covering in the inner corner of the room, after gluing a second roll of overlap, you need to remove the excess of the upper layer by carefully cutting it with a stationery knife.
