The structural wallpaper for painting is a multi-layer finishing material. They are not so long ago appeared on the construction market, but very quickly won the sympathy of buyers and achieved popularity. The wide interest and demand for this type of material can be explained simply: they can be repainted many times, they are easy to install and have an acceptable price.

The basis of structural wallpaper often consists of two textured layers of white paper. In the market of finishing materials there are three-layered wallpaper. The third layer of paper gives the web more rigidity and allows the material to interact better with the glue. When using such wallpaper, no additional wall preparation is required, since a thick cloth can hide various defects and small cracks. After repeated painting three-layer wallpaper is easily removed from the old base, while on the walls there is a thin layer of paper on which you can paste new wallpaper.

Structural wallpaper is produced on a non-woven and paper basis. Wallpaper for painting, in which the paper base, more dense than their just paper "brothers", and impregnated with a special water-resistant composition. They are made using a special technology of heavy fibrous waste paper and are produced with different unpainted surfaces.

And not only to paint one-color, but also to transfer to walls various "special effects".

However, today, structural wallpaper on a non-woven basis is in great demand . Such material is more dense and durable, does not swell under the action of moisture, does not stretch and does not change the shape of the sheet when it dries.

Therefore, it is necessary to glue such structural wallpaper with caution.

The wallpaper on the non-woven base is stronger, so there are no similar problems with their installation. The glue is applied only to the wall and works only with dry cloths. The pieces can be pasted butt tightly, they do not deform along the gluing line.

Only after complete drying the wallpaper is painted. The paint is applied in several layers, depending on the density of the web and the type of paint used. In order for the layer to lie exactly along the entire surface to be painted, the paint is produced in several approaches. It must be remembered that the paint rolls on the wallpaper, and not smeared. If the roller is too strong, strips may appear. You should know that the next coat of paint should be applied only after the previous one has dried completely. The paint for painting the wallpaper is better to take water-dispersion, glossy or matte - at the discretion.
