The process of sticking wallpaper is not difficult. But you should consider a number of nuances. The main one lies in the fact that the finishing material is characterized by a lot of weight. It will complicate a workflow a little.

Preparatory stage

Before glue bamboo wallpaper, you will need to prepare material and surface. Wallpapers are unpackled and placed in the room for a day. The material must "get used to" to the temperature and humidity of the room.

The next stage - the preparation of glue:
