Is it possible to glue wallpaper on extruded polystyrene foam?

I wouldn’t do that. Today, of course, there are a large number of different adhesive compositions with which it would be possible to glue the wallpaper and they would hold firmly, but there are several but.

  • The surface itself will not be rigid enough and with the slightest external impact, the wallpaper will simply break through.
  • Now you have joints between the expanded polystyrene plates that are most likely to be visible after wallpapering.
  • Wallpaper is not eternal; they will soon have to be changed and how it will be torn off from polystyrene foam is a big question.

It is best to apply a reinforcing layer of fiberglass mesh and cement-based adhesives. It will not take a lot of money, but it will be reliable and practical. Moreover, this is a wall, someone will snuggle up, something will move and dents will appear.

Do glue on fleselin wallpaper?

When gluing non-woven wallpaper, special glue mixtures are used. They are applied exclusively to the wall. At one time, an area equal in width to one cut of wallpaper is covered. Depending on the type of glue, humidity and air temperature in the room, it takes from 1 to 3 minutes for the applied glue to acquire the necessary viscosity before applying wallpaper to it.

In the process of gluing in the room, drafts and additional heat sources are unacceptable. The optimum temperature is 15-22 ° C. It is also necessary to avoid drafts and the glue drying process.

The surface of the base on which the adhesive is applied must be dry, strong, evenly absorbing, clean, neutral, uniformly light for non-woven wallpaper with a light or transparent base.

It is recommended to use glue with a color indicator. Its solution is slightly pinkish, this color disappears after the glue has completely dried. Thus, you can not only see the area with the adhesive applied, but if the wallpaper is intended for painting, determine the time of complete drying and the readiness of the wall for a new stage of decoration.

Due to inexperience, they glued expensive non-woven wallpaper directly onto drywall - how to remove non-woven wallpaper from drywall?

To remove old wallpaper from drywall, you will need the following auxiliary elements:

  • wide spatula (approximately 30 or 40 cm);
  • narrow spatula (from 10 to 15 cm);
  • any household steam generator (such as a steam mop or steamer);
  • a device for "tearing" the old layer of wallpaper (for example, a roller with needles or wallpaper "tiger");
  • masking tape;
  • paint roller (its width should be at least 20 cm);
  • water tray;
  • polyethylene film;
  • knife for cutting.

Removing non-woven wallpaper is quite difficult. The thing is that initially they all have a water-repellent function. Therefore, before contact with the liquid, they must be scratched or subjected to manipulation to make holes.You can make cuts.

After that, the wallpaper is thoroughly wetted with water or steamed using a special steamer device. You need to wait 30 minutes, and then proceed to peel the wallpaper.

There are special solvents for wallpaper, which can be purchased at absolutely any hardware store. Such tools greatly facilitate the process. Therefore, if financial opportunities allow, then it would be wiser to spend on it.

Kitchen repair - when to glue wallpaper before changing linoleum or after?

Repair is best done in the following sequence:

  • Design project of repair;
  • Preparation of preliminary estimates of repairs in the apartment and calculation of building materials;
  • Replacement of windows, dismantling of interior doors, replacement of the front door;
  • Draft electrical work - wiring in the rooms being repaired; during the repair, the apartment is also wired for the "smart home" system, security systems, ventilation and air conditioning;
  • Rough plumbing;
  • Dismantling of old coatings, plasters, screeds;
  • Alignment of surfaces (depending on the features of your repair in the apartment: stucco, drywall, floor screed, etc.);
    Draft finish (preparation for decorative coatings: final smoothing of surfaces with putty, sanding, floor spilling with self-leveling compounds / sanding of wooden floors, parquet - depending on the features of your repair in the apartment);
  • Laying tiles, stone;
  • Finishing (finish line of repair in the apartment: painting, wallpapering, decorative plastering, etc.);
  • Installation of a stretch ceiling;
  • Installation of floors / varnishing of wooden floors, parquet;
  • Installation of interior doors.

Non-woven wallpaper in which cases to glue in the joint, and in which overlap?

Non-woven wallpaper is almost always glued butt. Since they belong to thick wallpaper and also, in most cases, have a relief pattern on the surface.

Do I need to close the windows when deciding non-woven wallpaper so that there are no drafts?

Fishelin wallpapers are pasted in a slightly different way from the traditional. Special glue must be applied directly to the wall, not to the wallpaper. On the one hand, this is good, since it greatly facilitates the sticker process. On the other hand, the adhesive on the wall is much faster absorbed by the porous surface. Therefore, so that the adhesive mixture applied to the wall does not become too viscous, it is not recommended to arrange drafts when gluing, drying the treated surface of the walls too quickly.

Full drying of wallpaper glue occurs in 1-1.5 days after the end of the gluing process. At this time, it is also not recommended to open windows and arrange forced ventilation. And although fishelin wallpapers have great elasticity, quick drying of the adhesive unevenly applied to the wall can lead to the fact that the wallpaper will go in waves.

Wrinkles and bubbles appeared after the end of wallpapering. What should I do?

After the wall has completely dried, it is more difficult, but possible to remove the swelling on the wallpaper. The method depends on the size of the defect. For small swellings scattered over a large area, you should use an ordinary medical syringe filled with glue. The bubble pierces in the center and first all air is squeezed out of it. Then glue is pumped. You need to try to distribute it along the edges of the defect. To do this, it is more convenient to bend the needle so as not to twist the syringe in different directions and not to increase the hole made. Swelling is smoothed out with a plastic spatula or roller from the edges to the center.

With bulging bulges, an incision is made from below with a thin sharp blade. The defect is filled with glue and smoothed from top to bottom. You need to try to lightly apply the cut part. If placed close to it, a gap may appear after drying.

Do primed walls need to be primed before decal on the non-woven wallpaper?

The primer of the wall before wallpapering is required. It will not only dedust the surface and improve the adhesion of wallpaper to the main one, but also reduce the consumption of glue and increase the mobility of the canvas.

For putty walls, a single treatment with non-woven glue diluted to a more liquid state is sufficient. But such a coating does not change the mechanical properties of the base, does not strengthen it. Special mixtures are recommended, and if there is a risk of dampening of the wall, then with a fungicidal effect.

When gluing vinyl embossed wallpaper, wrinkles form that do not smooth out

There may be several reasons for the appearance of wrinkles and bubbles when gluing vinyl wallpapers. Most often, these defects can appear as a result of an uneven distribution of glue on the surface of the wallpaper or its excess. The formation of wrinkles can also occur as a result of the fact that your wall is bad or does not absorb moisture at all. This can happen due to the high humidity of the wall or, as an option, lime has got on it.

Also, the reason may be that after applying the glue to the wallpaper, you did not give them time to dry out a bit, but this should be done. It is unlikely, but also the fact that you do not smooth the wallpaper correctly, as in my practice I rarely encountered this problem. More often wrinkles and bubbles appeared after the end of wallpapering.

Therefore, carefully evaluate the conditions and technique for sticking your wallpaper, and I think the reason is fast enough.

Is it possible to glue wallpaper with a working fan, and to close the room at the end of work? Very hot, + 30, and you need to glue

Unfortunately, you make several mistakes at once. Firstly, the optimum operating temperature for gluing wallpapers of any type is 18 - 25 ° C. Secondly, you should not allow various drafts or other air currents. As in the case of temperature, this will lead to premature and inhomogeneous drying of the glue. Of course, non-woven and vinyl wallpapers have greater strength and elasticity than paper, but they can also be brushed.
