What types of vinyl wallpaper exist and what are their advantages

Vinyl wallpapers are an excellent solution for decorating a living room, bedroom, children’s room, and even for a bathroom, as they have many significant advantages, which will be discussed now.

Vinyl wallpapers: what they are and what are their main advantages

Such wallpapers consist of several layers: the first is paper on which vinyl is applied, or as it is also called PVC film, so that they become much stronger, and also are not afraid of moisture.

There are two types of vinyl wallpaper:

• Vinyl wallpaper with a smooth surface. They are covered with a thin layer of PVC film. Thanks to this surface, they are easy to keep clean.
• Vinyl wallpaper made of foamed vinyl. They, unlike the previous version, are slightly thicker and softer. Thanks to this structure, they perfectly mask wall irregularities (small cracks and minor pits). In addition, they, like the previous version, allow the walls to breathe. But this species has a significant drawback - they are easy to damage.

Than vinyl wallpapers are better than paper analogues

Thanks to the use of vinyl, these wallpapers have excellent water resistance. Accordingly, they can be washed even with various chemical agents. Unfortunately, ordinary paper wallpapers are afraid of moisture, and even more so they can not be washed.

Vinyl wallpapers have excellent resistance to damage and are also very difficult to remove. And this means that you can not worry that they will come unstuck from you. Another significant advantage of such wallpapers is that they are not afraid of exposure to direct rays of the sun. This means that over the years they will not fade.

But they also have a drawback - this is a high cost. But this cost justifies itself, as they will serve you for a very long time.

The advantage of non-woven vinyl wallpaper

If traditional vinyl wallpapers are made on a paper basis, then non-woven vinyl wallpapers are respectively made on a non-woven basis, so that they do not stretch or compress.

Can I use such wallpapers to decorate the bathroom and the nursery?

Manufacturers of vinyl wallpapers claim that their products are suitable for all types of rooms. However, their use in the bathroom and children's room is best abandoned. Indeed, in the bathroom there is a lot of humidity, and vinyl wallpapers do not let air through.

For the decoration of a children's room, it is also better to abandon the use of vinyl wallpaper made of foamed vinyl, despite the fact that they look very impressive in any room. The thing is that such wallpapers have a corrugated surface, in which a lot of dust accumulates. Therefore, in this case, vinyl wallpapers with a smooth surface are the best solution. In addition, if the child stains them, then they can be cleaned without much difficulty.

For kitchen decoration, vinyl wallpapers will be an excellent choice. In addition, they are an original and cheaper alternative to ceramic tiles. Especially non-woven vinyl wallpaper that has excellent strength and stability. They can easily remove dirt. And most importantly, they do not burn. As for the color scheme, here everyone will choose according to his taste. Even now you can find kitchen-themed wallpapers with fruits, coffee beans and the like.

But, nevertheless, it is best to choose wallpapers made in a more restrained color scheme, since a glut of decorative elements and a large number of colors can adversely affect the interior premises. This is especially true for small rooms. It is best if it is a muted color scheme with a minimum number of patterns or decorative elements.
