What mistakes are made when wallpapering

Improper sticking of wallpaper in the future can lead to them falling off the wall surface. But this is fixable if fatal errors were not made during the repair.

Why is the wallpaper moving away?

Several factors affect the quality of gluing: the composition of the adhesive, the quality of the material from which the wallpaper is made, the level of surface preparation, and the presence of drafts. Here we consider the most common cases when the appearance of a glued wall deteriorates:

• Wallpaper leaves near the baseboard or platband. This happens if the wallpaper was pasted on a poorly cleaned surface, where the lime compound was used earlier. Perhaps the glue was too liquid or, conversely, “overdried”. Under the departed piece, remove the old paint, prime the surface and dry. Spread part of the sheet with thick glue, let it soak and press firmly;
• The picture on the canvas does not match or the symmetry is broken. This happens to those who wallpaper for the first time. Alas, the work will have to be redone, you need to focus on a plumb line (a tool for building a strictly vertical line). If the ornament does not match - the wrong cutting was carried out, in this case you will have to stock up a couple of rolls to partially re-glue the wallpaper;

• The seams are too noticeable. Most often this is noticeable when the wallpaper was glued with an overlap. It is important to direct the edge towards the window so that the edges are not directed against the light source;
• Seams glisten in the light. This happens if glue residue is poorly removed. If the thickness of the wallpaper allows. You can carefully try to remove excess with a damp sponge moistened with warm water. The main thing is not to overdo it;
• The canvases are distinguished by the brightness of the shade. You have purchased rolls from different series. Alas, if the wallpaper is already pasted - just redo it again. If in the process - try to find rolls from the same series. As a last resort. Darker canvases can be adapted to the shady sides of the room or areas behind the furniture;
• Gaps are visible between the seams. Your wall is not even enough to glue the butt. In such cases, overlapping gluing will help, with preliminary alignment of the wall.

Wallpapering does not seem complicated, however, if you want to see a great result. Everything needs to be done carefully. If suddenly your repair skills leave much to be desired - it is cheaper and easier to contact specialists.
