Useful Tips of Masters
Let's see how to glue wallpapers recommend professionals:
- It is better not to put a whole canvas on the corner.If it (the corner) is uneven, then the strip will lie in folds - the borders and the drawing do not converge with the next canvas. Therefore, it is advisable to go around the corner for only one and a half to two centimeters.
- If you paste a thick wallpaper, then be sure to use a plumb line. The admission to the next wall in this case should also be small, so that the canvas lies strictly vertical.
- If there are switches near the angle oroutlet, then before the work is done, it is necessary to turn off the electricity in the room. The next step is to remove the covers from them. The cloth is pasted onto a switch or socket, then a knife is cut along its diameter. After the strip is pasted, the casing returns to its place.
- If you yourself paste the wallpaper for the first time,it is better to focus on mono-color variations or samples with the same pattern. In this case, you can not be afraid that the bias will spoil the appearance of the entire room.
- The most "capricious" is not vinyl, not nonwoven, andusual paper wallpaper. Why? Paper very quickly absorbs the water base of the glue. Therefore, the work should be carried out as quickly as possible, otherwise the material will simply begin to disintegrate in your hands.
- It will be difficult also with fiberglass in the corners. After all, they can only be glued to butt. Even the slightest overlap will be ugly.
- From which angle to glue wallpaper?There is no difference from the north, east, west or south. Also, as against or clockwise. The main thing here is to take as the starting point the ideal perpendicular element in the room. In rare cases, they may have an angle. If you plan to glue the wallpaper overlapping, and not to butt, then you need to go to the window on both sides. Why is this done?

How correctly to glue wallpaper in the corners of the room?Since not everywhere the walls are perfectly level, we advise you to use a plumb line or a building level. This also helps the wallpaper not to bend in the corner. Be sure to measure the angle with the tool before gluing.
If, despite all the precautions,formed a "blockage", it is necessary to turn to the technique of cutting. Its meaning is that the next canvas is glued on the "defective" and on the corner, among others. Next, take a long iron ruler. It accurately cuts off the edge of the second cloth along the edge of the corner. It is important at the same time to act cautiously, strongly press the ruler to prevent an ugly shift. Ideal metal tool with built-in building level. It can also serve as a press, which will allow cutting off the strip of wallpaper exactly along the line of the two walls.
Pasting internal corners

- The band is glued according to the same algorithm asusual. A wall is glued with glue, then the sheet itself. It glues from the top down (it is better for two people - one on the ladder fixes the canvas on top, the other docks it with the border of the neighboring strip already along the entire length), with the smoothing of the bubbles and docking with the "neighbor".
- Pay great attention to the sizing of the corner - the fabric must be firmly attached to it along the entire length. There should be no bubbles and non-glued areas!
- Help yourself with a brush or a soft rag, pressing the canvas close to the corner. But be careful - do not damage the material and drawing.
- If you do not avoid unevenness, then make inconspicuous cuts with a knife to somehow correct the situation.
- The next canvas, as we have already said, is glued to the first with an overlap. Surplus is cut off with a knife, which acts on a metal ruler.
Press the lapped edges overlapping better and in theThe situation when the upper and middle part of the corner with irregularities, and the lower one is depressed. If you use a thick wallpaper, the most suitable is a special transparent adhesive for joints.
Pasting of external corners
Первым делом нужно так просчитать ширину полотна, so that the strip not only reaches the slope of the corner, but also goes behind it by 21-25 mm. If the wallpaper is dense, it is advisable to make incisions that would allow the canvas to lie more smoothly on the outside corner in the room.
The adjacent strip falls on this with an overlap of 5-6 mm. For a better grasp, the smooth wallpaper is worked out here with a roller. And having a three-dimensional pattern - a soft rag.
How to properly glue the canvas with a pattern?
Particularly high chances of skewing the verticaldrawing. But horizontal defects in the corner, too, do not decorate. Therefore, you need to observe two rules: to make a small overlap on the adjacent wall, and hide the joint in the very top of the corner.
Remember also that one edge should go to bedexactly on the plumb line, but the other - it is necessary to prune on the edge of the corner. If you can not align the picture, then the situation can be saved by overlapping the adjacent canvas.
Therefore, if you decide to glue wallpaper with a cleardrawing, be sure to take care of proper preparation of the corners in the room - they should not be skewed, with depressions or irregularities. Independently or by referring to the construction team, primed, and then carefully grind them to ensure evenness.
