How to glue the ceiling wallpaper

Preparation for sticking

When sticking ceiling wallpaper, the following process features should be taken into account:

• if it is necessary to glue the wallpaper on the ceiling and on the walls, then first bother the ceiling;
• it is necessary to plan the lighting - thinking how the wiring will be displayed, outline the location of the lamps. Before the start of the shocking of the wallpaper, the chandelier existing on the ceiling is better to remove;
• it is recommended to place the ceiling wallpaper in the direction of the incident light, i.e. from the window - so that the junctions between the rows be less noticeable;
• it is more convenient to glue such wallpapers together - the second person when sticking can hold the remaining rolled wallpaper strip;
• before starting work, you need to tightly close all windows and doors, turn off the air conditioner (otherwise the drafts will be reduced on all operations - wallpapers can take air bubbles and even fall off in places). Do not forget to de-energize the wiring.

First of all, you need to prepare the ceiling. Ceiling wallpapers possess their relief and do not require a perfectly smooth surface, as they can smooth out small errors. It is necessary to remove all old coatings from the ceiling (wallpaper, paint and blotch), cracks and irregularities to sweep with a putty, and then color the ceiling. To facilitate the removal of old wallpaper, you can use the wet roller. Lime whitewash hot water with a tissue napkin or sponge.

If there are serious defects, finishing works will be required to equalize the ceiling surface - with spatlement or plasterboard panels. Wallpaper sticking must be carried out on a dry, as smooth and clean surface.

Marking ceiling

It is necessary to place the ceiling with parallel lines between the walls (wallpapers are glued in the direction from the window so that the joints are less noticeable).

The length of the wallpaper cloths should be equal to the length of the room with the addition of launching on the walls (1.5-2 cm on each side), and also need to take into account the shrinkage after drying the adhesive (usually about 0.5%).

Cooking glue

Browse the instructions that are present on the wallpaper rolls packages. On them the manufacturer indicates which grade glue is suitable for this product. The glue composition depends on the material, density and thickness of the wallpaper. What they are harder, the more thick there should be a solution of glue to secure them on the ceiling.

Mixtures with synthetic resins, waterproof, with increased clutch (for example, dispersion glue - used for vinyl, textile, and fiberglass wallpaper) are used.

Glue in the form of a dry mixture is bred by water according to the instructions and leave half an hour for swelling. It is not necessary to make it too liquid, better in the process of sticking, if necessary, add water. To achieve a qualitative result, it is worth carefully learning instructions for the use of this type of wallpaper and glue. The adhesive solution can be stored for about a week in a closed container, while it will save its properties.
