Wallpapering only seems like a simple task at first glance.
In fact, there are many nuances, without taking into account which, you can encounter crooked joints and bubbles on the wallpaper.
Five expert tips will help you quickly figure out how to apply the wallpaper and avoid mistakes.
Preparing the wall
Before wallpapering, you need to properly prepare the wall.
Wallpaper does not stick to damp or poorly processed plaster. It is better to immediately fill and sand any uneven areas.
Using a primer
Priming the walls should not be skipped. This step will help to avoid bubbles and peeling of the wallpaper.
The right glue
Choosing the right wallpaper glue will help ensure quality wallpapering.
For heavy wallpapers, special compounds are selected to ensure reliable adhesion.
Wallpaper cutting
Before pasting, the wallpaper is cut to the required length with a small margin to ensure neat joints.
Wallpapering
Start pasting from the top corner of the wall using a spatula.
This will help to expel excess air in a timely manner and avoid the formation of bubbles.
The detected bubble can be punctured with a needle and smoothed out.
