How to glue the wallpaper at the joints, if they diverged at the seams?

Every person at least once in his life did the repair with his own hands. And, it would seem, the task is completed, but after a while you begin to notice that the wallpaper comes off. Today we will talk about how to glue the wall finish so that it does not disperse at the seams.

There are a number of reasons why a new repair takes an unaesthetic appearance. The reasons for this are very diverse, but more often than not, this is the failure to follow simple rules:

• Improperly prepared surface. Before starting work, the wall should be checked for cracks and shedding plaster.
• Incorrect glue selection.
• Non-compliance with the proportions of dilution of glue.
• Neglect of pasting rules. It is necessary to carefully study the instructions before starting work.
• Drafts - this is one of the main reasons for wallpapering. All doors and windows must be closed.
• Thermal failure. Drying or damping is unacceptable.
• Improper or insufficient application of glue to the surface. Before use, you should read the instructions.
• Poor tool and material.

This problem may be the basis for redoing all repairs. After all, the plywood overgrown wallpaper is familiar to many. It may be associated with:

• problems with heating.
• problems with ventilation.
• flooding.

This scourge may face the residents of the private sector. Especially if their houses are located near the rivers. In the spring during the flood, when the river spreads, the wallpaper leaves. After such flooding will have to do the repair again.

Residents of the first floors, under whose apartments there is a basement, are best acquainted with the problem of humidity in an apartment building. In such apartments, repairs have to be done more often.Due to the high humidity, the fabric is constantly peeled off.

Life does not stand still. The simple windows were replaced by double-glazed windows, which in old-type homes contribute to the formation of condensate, and this threatens to cause fungus on the walls. Also because of this, wallpaper often diverges. In each room there are fungi, and they manifest themselves as soon as favorable conditions for this appear. It is easy to recognize a fungus: On the ceiling, around the windows and in the joints of the house black spots are formed, which quickly grow.

One of the main reasons for the appearance of such defects is dampness, which can come from the basement. It is necessary to check the basement and foundation of the house for infection by fungus. It may also occur due to leaking pipes, so before starting the repair, inspect everything in the bathroom. You should not allow poor ventilation, which often leads to the formation of condensate from the air in the room. Frozen in the winter, the walls also provoke the formation of fungus.

There are several ways to avoid and cure the fungus:

• Frequent airing.
• At repair it is possible to use vapor-permeable coatings.
• Elaboration of walls with special chemical means.

Having bought an adhesive composition, be sure to follow the instructions on the package. There are powder and liquid glue. Both require compliance with the proportions when breeding. Consider the climate of the room. If it is wet, use a moisture-resistant compound.

You can not use clerical pva, as it does not guarantee adhesion to the surface and may leave brown spots after drying. There is also a wallpaper PVA. It is suitable only for paper products. Today, many different companies produce glue. You decide which brand to choose. The main thing is to remember that they are all very similar in composition.

If the wallpaper has diverged at the seams and come off at the joints, you need to perform simple manipulations:

• Bend the joint.
• Remove residual whitewash, debris.
• Check the wall for chipping.
• Spread the joints with glue.
• Press the wallpaper into place and work out with a rubber roller.
• Smooth all with a spatula.
• Remove adhesive residue with a cloth.

This method will return the original look to the wallpaper. You need to use the glue that worked initially.If a piece is torn off from the canvas that has departed at the joints, it can be restored. The main thing is to assemble all the parts, arrange them correctly, and then put them on the glue. The excess must be removed with a towel, smoothed with a spatula and allowed to dry. In this way, you can correct the situation after the "invasion" of the cat.

Choosing a wallpaper for your apartment with a picture, you should familiarize yourself with rapport. This is the frequency of repetition of the picture or its step. That he will help to combine the pattern. You can find it on the label of the roll. Knowing rapport, proceed to cutting the product. The first thing you need to open two or three tubes of wallpaper, placing them on the floor, attach the joint to the joint and look at the picture.

In the manufacture of non-woven coatings used cellulose fiber (non-woven base wallpaper). This coating is harmless to humans. It can be used in the repair of children's rooms and bedrooms. This wallpaper can be painted. In choosing a canvas with a pattern, it is important not to forget that when painting over time, the ornament may disappear.

Non-woven wallpapers breathe and do not absorb odors, which makes it possible to glue them in any room. For materials of this type it is worth choosing a special glue:

• Multilayer wallpaper is used for pasting rooms with defective walls. Thanks to this coating, all the flaws become invisible.

Paste over the room only butt. To do this, they draw the base, but not the canvas itself, since it is very sensitive to dirt. The first segment is glued parallel to the line drawn. It is smoothed with the hands, and after that it is carried out along the entire length with a roller, expelling air. The next segment is glued back to the first. If at the moment of pasting a small gap appeared, then you just need to gently pull it close to the first one and work with a roller along the entire length.

Particular attention should be paid to the technology of pasting corners. It can be produced only overlap. The technique of combining the pattern and pasting is similar to that of paper versions. Non-woven wallpaper can be glued horizontally. To do this, it is necessary to make the markup parallel to the floor, and then the algorithm, like the vertical pasting.

Non-woven wallpaper on paper basis should not be glued in rooms with high humidity. The canvas washes away from the surface. A coating frowns if there is air between it and the wall, or pasting occurred during the cold time of the day. Although, as the professionals say, subject to the rules of causing any defects and problems will not arise.

When choosing a color solution you need to remember about the lighting in the room. Light vinyl coating is recommended to paste in dark rooms where there is not enough light. And dark, on the contrary, in too light (to absorb excess light).

It is possible to paint the surface of the canvas up to 15 times, and some manufacturers offer products whose color can be changed up to 25 times. This property gives a clear advantage to this type of wallpaper over others. The main thing is not to forget that when pasting vinyl coatings stretch, and when dried - they tighten. To pull them in no case. In addition, you need to glue the wallpaper butt joint (not stretching).Otherwise, huge gaps may appear.
