New settlers and people starting repairs, oftenwonder: "Are non-woven wallpaper harmful?" In order to understand this issue, one must first understand what this finishing material consists of, what varieties of it exist.
Types of wallpapers
There are simply non-woven (fibrous orcelluloid) rolls. They are made from cellulose fibers, filled with special additives. The same material, only without fillers, is used when sewing belts, collars and other parts of clothing. In the finishing materials add the fastening polymers. As a result, you get pleasant to the touch, velvety non-woven wallpaper. Are they harmful? Absolutely not. They perfectly pass both steam and air, i.e. "Breathe". They can not disguise the irregularities on the wall or large chips, but they hide the microcracks well. Such wallpaper does not bubble, do not frown when they are smeared with special glue. It is usually sold in the same place as the finishing material. From such glue they do not deform, and on the wall form a durable and beautiful coating. The lack of them is small: between the fibers can accumulate dust, which is easy to remove with a vacuum cleaner. In particularly sensitive people, this glue can cause allergy, however, like the simplest glue that glues paper. Celluloid rolls are already produced with a pattern. The texture of the canvas for them can be different, which makes it possible to "play" with the space of the room.
Why reviews are different
Often, buyers and people receiving information fromInternet, ask: "Why do many manufacturers deny that non-woven wallpaper are harmful?" You can answer the question: "And which producer will scold his goods?" Today in the network many "abusive" and laudatory reviews are written by order of competing companies. Truth in them is not enough. As far as non-woven wallpaper is harmful, you can determine by reading their composition on the package. If the composition contains only cellulose fibers and fillers, such coatings can be bought without doubt: they will not cause harm. If the word "vinyl", "formaldehyde" or other chemical terms are present in the name or composition of the wallpaper, it is better to postpone such an acquisition.
