Types of Wallpaper
Along with the right selection of colors is the right decision in choosing the structure of the wallpaper. The choice is huge, so understanding this diversity is not the easiest thing.
| Paper | Environmentally friendly product, inexpensive. Walls with such wallpaper let air through. But the joints are often visible, short-lived, eventually fade in the sun, are not moisture resistant material. |
|
| Non-woven | Dense structure, joints are not visible, also "breathing" wallpaper and do not fade in the sun. But expensive, they are good “dust collectors”, subject to mechanical damage. |
|
| Vinyl | Two-layer: the first layer is paper, the second layer is vinyl. Long-term use, resistant to mechanical damage. But it emits a harmful substance - formaldehyde, poorly diffuse air. Design of wallpaper with silk-screen printing is suitable for classic styles. |
|
| Liquid | Seamless (no joints visible), have good sound insulation, allow partial repairs. Long drying after sticking (about two days). |
|
| For painting | Two-layer paper wallpaper. Water resistant, no need to level the walls. You can repaint up to five times. But subject to mechanical damage. |
|
| Textile | Two-layer: the base is paper, the second layer is non-woven. There are different additions: linen, cotton, polyester. Joints are not visible, excellent noise and heat insulation. Do not fade in the sun. The penetration of odors, high cost, "dust collector". |
