Regardless of what type of wallpaper is used, there are two ways to paste them on the wall surface: butt or lap. The first method is considered to be more common, but more difficult to implement. The second is distinguished by its simplicity, which allows you to achieve results in a short time, even without any experience.
The technology for gluing wallpaper with an overlap suggests that one edge is fixed with another canvas. The advantages of the method include:
- Reliability of connections;
- Possibility of finishing a room of a small area for 3-4 hours;
Why is lap gluing not considered perfect and is often not recommended for use? The reason for this is the significant consumption of material. Sometimes, the amount of consumed wallpaper when overlapping can be several times the amount used for the same room when glued butt.
Vinyl wallpapers are generally deprived of the possibility of applying the overlap method. This is due to the fact that the material has an impressive thickness. In addition, the high density of the vinyl sheet forces it to be fixed using a special adhesive composition, which even with butt gluing can sometimes go away.
For overlapping, only plain paper wallpapers can do. They should be glued to the wall surface starting from the side of the window, and the stripes of rolls should have perfectly even sides. Before performing a fix, it is best to pre-create a drawing of the proposed overlap location, while measuring the level of verticality using a plumb line.
The corners of even paper wallpapers tend to peel off when choosing this method. Therefore, their fixation is best done with an overlap of at least 5 cm. Despite the simplicity of the technology, the room should be deprived of the possibility of penetrating into the drafts for at least 2-3 days.
Despite the minimal likelihood of peeling off the joints, they are not completely devoid of this ability. During use, some places are still at risk of delamination. This will require additional launch of glue under the surface of the canvas.
In conclusion, I would like to say that the technology for gluing wallpaper with an overlap, like any other technique, is not without its advantages and disadvantages. When choosing this method, special attention should be paid to the type of wallpaper used.
