Duplex wallpaper: use in the interior

Wallpapers are traditional finishing materials. Today, such paintings can be chosen for any interior, whether it is a solid classic or fancy baroque. Currently, one of the most original and affordable are stylish duplex wallpapers, presented in a variety of colors. Let's get acquainted closer with this interesting finishing material.

Many of us have heard the term “duplex wallpaper” at least once in a lifetime. But few know what is meant by this name. This wall finish is a special multilayer material, which is made from environmentally friendly paper. However, despite its environmental friendliness, similar wallpaper in many ways inferior to artificial options.

Popular paper wallpapers have always enjoyed an enviable demand, even when more elaborate and high-tech canvases appeared on the market for finishing materials. Such popularity and demand for duplex options due to their positive characteristics. These include:

• robust design Due to the dense structure and thoughtful structure, many properties of paper wallpaper have been modified and turned into significant advantages;
• when applying the adhesive composition on the surface of such canvases it falls exclusively on the inner layer (on the base). From the outside, the wallpaper is not soaked with foreign substances and does not become sticky. This property can be safely attributed to the pluses of duplex materials, since the outer layer makes it embossed. Otherwise, these paintings are called laminated;
• It is also worth noting that the density of duplex products in many ways surpasses the usual paper wallpaper, which is famous for its subtlety;
• due to the large thickness, these wallpapers can boast excellent heat and sound insulation qualities;
• With the help of high-quality and dense duplex canvases, you can hide many defects of the walls (cracks, chips, scratches or minor irregularities);

• Many customers choose these wall materials, as they can be repainted (no more than 15 times);
• such fabrics are more durable and resistant to wear;
• dust and dirt do not accumulate on their surface;
• before pasting such finishing it is not necessary to make scrupulous preparation of the walls;
• You can use duplex wallpapers in almost any room, be it a living room, bedroom or hallway.

Serious deficiencies in such materials are not observed, however, if we compare them with modern synthetic wallpaper, which has been used for decades and which can be washed with water, then they largely lose to them. The surface of paper variants cannot be rubbed with a stiff brush or washed regularly, otherwise it will damage the cloths, even if they are dense. Besides, duplex wall coverings do not tolerate temperature drops and dampness. That is why they are not recommended for use in the bathroom or in the kitchen.

When manufacturers noticed that duplex wallpapers are steadily gaining popularity and are being bought by modern consumers more and more often, they decided to play with combinations of their textures and materials. During these experiments, a lot of interesting options were worked out, which today can be found in many stylish and ultra-modern ensembles. And it can be not only a city apartment, but also a country house.

In search of the most successful combination, the most practical, beautiful and fashionable varieties of canvases were produced. Let's get to know them better:

• Vinyl. In such finishing materials, sufficiently thick paper or interlining is used as one of the layers, and vinyl is taken as an additional layer. Such types of duplex wallpapers today are represented by the richest assortment of different textures, shades and prints. This suggests that it will be possible to choose the best option for almost any interior.

• The trend of recent years are imitating stone wallpaper, brickwork or natural wood. As for the technical characteristics of vinyl duplex canvases, it is worth noting that they are characterized by excellent moisture resistance and heat resistance.The downside of such materials is only that they "do not breathe", so such defects as fungus or mold can form on their surface.
• Textile. In such canvases an additional layer for thick paper bases consists of durable fabric or special woven fiber. Such finishing materials are rich and riotous colors. Often on their surface you can find interesting scenes, non-trivial and catchy prints, as well as elegant patterns.

• Application in the room unique silk textures Be sure to emphasize the status of the home and the wonderful taste of its owners. If you prefer satin, then this suggests that you are striving to create a lighter and simpler ensemble. If in the decoration of the room there are more dense and "heavy" fabrics, then the overall situation will seem more solemn and even pompous. The main advantage of woven duplex wallpapers is that they are eco-friendly.As a rule, in the production of such cloths, exclusively high-quality and “breathing” types of textiles are used, which are able to have a positive effect on the air in the room. On their surface does not form mold or fungus.

• Paper. Paper duplex finishing materials consist of two layers of plain paper. In them, the base layer is more dense and reliable, and the additional layer (which is covered with a protective film across) performs an exclusively decorative function and remains thin. In order for this wallpaper to be dense and maintain its integrity, you need to use quality glue.

• Natural fibers. This category includes wallpaper, which includes elements of flizelin or strong paper. Interesting jute or bamboo fibers, sisal, and miranta threads are stuck on such products to form an attractive decor. Such eco-friendly finishing materials can boast of durability and unique design.
