Myths about leveling walls when you can not do this

In almost all Russian houses, the walls are not even. In some houses, it is so pronounced that it is completely impossible to do without alignment, as this feature will prevent further repairs.

There is a myth that leveling the walls is absolutely necessary in every case, but this is not so. For example, if you plan to install the finishing material on any frame, for example, on the crate, then in this case it is impractical to align the walls. This also applies when it comes to lining and the use of many other modern technologies.

Before deciding whether to level the walls, it is first necessary to assess the degree of level difference. If the difference is expressed in several millimeters, then such indicators are not critical and you can do without additional alignment. If the difference is so large that visually the “wall falls”, then in this situation, alignment of the walls is a mandatory step in the repair work. A slight difference is easily hidden at the stage of decorative work, for example, it can be masked with wallpaper. It is also worth noting that for these purposes, water-based paint is excellent, which masks not only differences, but also minor other defects on the walls.

With a slight difference, you can use alternative methods so that the walls are visually smooth, this will allow you to abandon their standard alignment. For this purpose, a PVC cloth can be used, which is used to install stretch ceilings. You can also use a laminate or parquet board.

In order to eliminate minor bumps and defects on the wall, there are many ways. Most often used plastering. A cement-sand mortar or gypsum plaster can be used. Each method has its positive aspects, it is necessary to choose, given the type of living space, as well as the degree of unevenness of the walls. In addition, it is possible to level the wall if you use materials such as MDF, plywood, chipboard or drywall sheets. Before choosing a material, it is recommended to seek professional help. A specialist will be able to correctly assess the situation and choose the most optimal way.
