Painting wallpapers are a great way to organize the interior of your apartment, especially if you like frequent changes, and do repairs and spend money - not really. Only once, pasting such wallpaper, then they can be repainted several times in the right color, with no putty, leveling and other surface treatments not needed. By the way, if the family has children who can dirty a piece of wallpaper or paint them, then this is not a problem - you can quickly tint the defect.
Anotherobvious advantagesuch wallpaper is that they are cheaper than all the others, and if you are able to perform sticking and painting yourself, then for a fairly low price there is a chance to get a very interesting interior.
However, not all wallpapers are suitable for painting, and even more so for reusable repainting. Only those that have a well-embossed surface are suitable, they have a certain level of moisture resistance and do not contain any bright pattern. That is why it is worthwhile to dwell on the moment, what kind of wallpaper is suitable for painting.
Main types of wallpaper for painting
Despite the above requirements, among the wallpaper for painting are several types - depending on the basis. Basically, these are paper, non-woven wallpaper and glass walls. Now, more about each of them.
Paper wallpaper for painting
Paper wallpaper, as a rule, consists of two layers of paper, as a result, a rather dense and thick material with a certain relief pattern is obtained. In order for such wallpaper to be repainted several times, they are used special water-repellent agents, which allows them to maintain their structure after several staining. It is worth noting that such wallpaper hides fine wall defects, and can also be used for decorating ceilings.
These wallpapers are usually produced in white. Occasionally there may be light pastel shades.
Flizeline wallpaper for painting
This is probably one of the most successful finishing materials in general and among the wallpaper for painting in particular. They consist of two layers: it is non-woven and vinyl spraying, which simulates the relief. And since both of these materials are fragile enough and in time, for example, vinyl can crumble, so these wallpapers are not what you can, but you need to handle the paint. And you can do this about 10-15 times, i.e. Try out a huge number of color solutions for your room.
One of the advantages of such wallpapers is the relative simplicity in their gluing, as this is exactly the material that requires applying glue to the wall, and not to the wallpaper. Therefore, you will not need to prepare a lot of space to spread the wallpaper, wait until the glue is absorbed a little - the process is simplified. And after gluing flizelinovye wallpaper show themselves a "tough nut" - they do not swell, they rarely deform and do not shrink.
Non-woven wallpaper, like paper, can be produced in white or be colored. only the first option is distributed, but now many manufacturers produce a huge number of already painted flizeline wallpaper. In any case, they are excellent for both walls and ceiling, and they are even more than paper, can hide shortcomings. They are recommended to be used even in new buildings, since there the walls shrink, and these wallpaper not only hide the crack, but also can keep it from further spread.
All these advantages should be supplemented with good environmental indicators: they do not contain harmful substances, do not affect health and are able to "breathe".
Stained glass under painting
Steklooboi is a special kind of material, which is made from a mixture of soda, sand, lime and dolomite. All this actually forms a glass, from which the fibers of fiberglass are stretched. As you know, glass is not afraid of fire, so that the glass walls have a high degree of fire safety. And since they have much in common with glass wool and "spiderweb then there is an effect of strengthening the surface, as well as masking small cracks.
Steklooboi can be two-layer, i.e. have a paper substrate, or single-layer. In any case, they have a characteristic relief surface with a certain pattern or pattern. And you can repaint such wallpaper up to 12 times, if there are more layers of paint, then there is a risk that the relief will simply be lost.
In addition to the ability to change the appearance of the room often, these wallpapers are also characterized by high wear-resistant properties, they can be washed, even a brush can be used. All this makes it possible to use them in rooms where a large number of people pass through the day, as well as in quieter rooms.
Pleasant feature - rolls of fiberglass usually exceed the standard parameters, so it will be possible to reduce the number of cuttings and reduce the number of joints.
Paint application
Paint on the wallpaper is applied after they are pasted and dried well. Depending on the chosen wallpaper, a different type of paint is used. Next, consider these nuances.
Necessary tools and materials
- fur roller for applying paint;
- brush for creating drawings from paint, but this will be possible only if you have chosen a wallpaper with a smooth surface;
- plastic bathchka;
- Water-emulsion paint of the right shade for paper and non-woven wallpaper;
- latex or acrylic paint for fiberglass wallpaper;
- containers for paint dilution;
- color;
- acrylic lacquer if necessary.
Depending on what type of paint you choose, you can talk about whether your wallpaper will be washed or not. You can also choose between matte and glossy type of surface: matte is especially suitable if the surface is not exactly flat, then there will be no small defects. A glossy paint will perfectly emphasize the relief of the wallpaper.
Preparation
So, we will not describe the process of wallpaper gluing, we will immediately start preparing the paint for application. After the wallpaper is pasted, enough time must pass before they dry out.
With the choice of paint you need to be extremely sharp: for example, for non-woven wallpaper in no case It is impossible to use oil paint, water emulsion is better, and for fiberglass wallpaper you can use latex.
As for the color, you can choose a ready-made shade, because they are in the store a lot - for every taste. But if you do not look for hunting for a long time, or if the desired color has not been found, then you can turn a simple trick with water-based paint: add white color to the colors using the tint tables. This service can be provided to you and in the building store, but to save a little, you can do everything yourself, because it's not difficult. In a small amount of paint add color and mix well, try the resulting shade on the most inconspicuous part of the wall, and if everything suits you, you can add it all to the rest paints. Keep in mind that if you apply the paint in several layers, the shade becomes more intense.
Painting
In the painting itself, nothing is too complicated. You will need a roller with a bath - this will remove all excess paint, and a brush. Roller paint the walls from top to bottom: so they are reinsured so that excess paint does not drain and do not spoil the appearance. A brush is needed for painting hard-to-reach places. It can also be used to create some drawings.
Paint on new wallpaper is better to apply in 2-3 layers, as not all the paints evenly fall. If you re-paint, then most likely, you will need one coat of paint.
By the way, some people do a little differently with flizelone wallpaper: they brightly paint the wall, and then they stick the white wallpaper. As a result, the nonwoven passes that color, only it turns out to be softer, and the effect itself is quite interesting. True, wallpaper for painting it can already be called only with a stretch.
You can also use this method of painting on non-woven wallpaper: after applying a layer of paint, it is gently carried out with a cloth, as a result of which the paint is rubbed off from the volume elements. Then on them it is possible to put a little bit of other shade, having made a pattern volumetric.
Well, if you have the talent and the desire to draw, then in the room you can create unique walls by drawing a picture on them or simply repeating the same simple drawing or pattern.
Coating with varnish
If desired, the finished surface can be varnished: this is not necessary, but it is even very preferable for such premises as a kitchen, a hallway, a nursery, i.e. where there is an increased risk of contamination. If you put such a layer of protection on the walls, then small spots can then be removed with a slightly damp cloth. True, here are more large-scale pollution still have to paint over.
It is better to choose an acrylic colorless varnish, but it will be matte or glossy - this is at your discretion. It is easy to apply: as well as for paint, a roller is used, and in more difficult places - a brush. At the same time, one layer of lacquer is practically not noticeable externally, but already two give good protection, but even a matte varnish can give shine in the photo.
Finally
Wallpaper for painting significantly save your time and effort, as well as material costs for subsequent repairs. After all, it will be enough just to apply a new coat of paint, and this is not difficult. The only thing is to immediately determine the relief pattern, so that it is the most suitable for any type of interior, because it is not known what exactly the owners want after 5 years.
