The correct wallpapering can be compared to the fine and accurate work of the artist. All the same canvases, brushes, light strokes of a hand trained for a week, and here is a man-made work in front of your eyes. Once you try to paste the wallpaper successfully, you can already repeat this procedure again.

What determines the quality of wallpaper adhesion
High-quality wallpapering depends on many factors that can be considered basic. What are the components of successful work?
We can distinguish the following:
• type and quality of wallpaper
• preparedness of the working surface before the start of the gluing
• operating temperature mode
• type of glue and correct preparation of the adhesive solution
• high-quality application of adhesive solution.
Of course, that for any type of wallpaper, a specific procedure for preparing the adhesive solution and its application is provided. Therefore, before you start working, you need to decide which glue to glue the wallpaper.
Vinyl wallpaper in the kitchen
To glue wallpaper in the kitchen with your own hands, it's better to give vinyl wallpaper. There are several options for vinyl wallpaper coating:
• heavy
• solid
• Foamed.
Coatings of vinyl wallpaper have a paper base, so the type of glue is selected from the strength and mechanical characteristics of the substrate. How to glue vinyl wallpaper in this case? Unlike other types of wallpaper, vinyl glue directly to the concrete wall. Therefore, in order to achieve high-quality pasting, it is necessary to carefully prepare the working base. Before gluing it is necessary to fill in the visible defects of the walls in the kitchen and primer the walls.
This is necessary to ensure that through the wallpaper, if they are light-colored, unwanted spots or stains have not appeared. As a primer when creating a primer layer, a water-based paint is suitable. The surface is primed for 2 times with complete drying for the subsequent priming coat. After the final drying of the primer and puttying layers, it is possible to begin wallpaper gluing by pre-preparing the glue solution according to the instructions on the package. General rules and techniques for applying adhesive to walls and wallpapers are traditional. Begin to glue the wallpaper is recommended from the corner of the wall, located near the window.
Vinyl wallpaper, due to its considerable thickness, has a sufficient coefficient of linear stretching, so when applying the adhesive solution they have the ability to stretch. This fact must be taken into account. After drying, the wallpaper will shrink, so some seams between the canvas will tend to disperse. To avoid such an undesirable effect, the seams of the joints of the vinyl wallpaper liners are adhered without strong tension.
After gluing the first strip of vinyl wallpaper, the subsequent work will be more successful. Before work, it is recommended to cut the wallpaper from the roll into separate strips corresponding to the height of the working sections of the walls. In the kitchen, a sticker of vinyl wallpaper can be difficult due to the presence of a ready-made apron on the wall or a complex wall configuration. Therefore, it is recommended to pre-mark the walls and wallpaper before the main works.
In comparison with other types of wallpaper, for example, non-woven, vinyl wallpaper has a significant advantage in the case of a sticker and an indicative final result.
Pasting of non-woven wallpaper in the kitchen
Fliseline is a nonwoven fabric, based on cellulose fibers. The multi-layered structure of the fibers makes it possible to produce and produce wallpaper from non-woven fabrics with different textures and patterns. "Breathable" properties of non-woven wallpaper widened the scope of wallpaper of this type. Therefore, wallpaper from nonwoven can be glued in kitchens and bathrooms.
How to glue non-woven wallpaper in the kitchen? Yes, practically, like vinyl, especially since base-fleece is an excellent layer with increased mechanical characteristics.
A stronger and thicker fleece base allows masking wall defects, including minor cracks, potholes or chips.
Therefore, the exacting quality of the work surface for gluing non-woven wallpaper is slightly lower than that of vinyl.
Due to the increased hygroscopicity of the non-woven wallpaper, they excelently absorb and give off excess moisture, keeping the surface from swelling and flaking. The process of gluing the walls of the kitchen with such wallpaper is not complicated, so it is easy enough to do this yourself.
As practice shows, wallpapering with simple wallpaper is not difficult. The angles of walls and areas with the location of utilities and electrical outlets are always considered problematic. There are certain rules and techniques for pasting such sites, which will decide the question of how to glue the wallpaper in the corners of the room.
Pasting corners of the kitchen with wallpapers
Pasting around the corners of the corners will depend on the relative position of the corner itself - internal or external.
The peculiarity of the corners of any room is their unevenness, because the corners are rarely straight. To avoid subsequent folds on pasted wallpaper, non-woven wallpaper is never glued in a corner with a solid strip.
Wallpaper Sticker for internal corners
The most common phenomenon when wallpapering the kitchen is the presence of internal corners. For this, the distance from the bonded strip to the angle is measured. To the distance add another 15 mm. This will create the desired size for the width of the wallpaper. Cut a strip with these dimensions and the resulting piece is glued to the wall, grabbing that same corner. Lying already on the other side of the wall, the projection of the wallpaper is leveled in the usual way. The next glued strip of wallpaper should grab this ledge.
Wallpaper sticker on the outside corners
The process of sticking the wallpaper on the outer corners, practically will not differ from gluing on the internal corners. In this case, part of the pasted wallpaper is wrapped around the outer corner.
No matter how carefully the person worked, you still have to trim the protruding edges of the wallpaper. How to do it yourself, you will be prompted by a video.
