IN modern world There are many types of wallpaper, differing from each other in pattern, color, width, quality, and material used. Not so long ago, meter-wide wallpaper of foreign origin appeared on the world market. Meter-long canvases are available on non-woven, paper, bamboo, and fabric bases. They have some advantages over classic ones - fewer joints, creating a “seamless” effect, reducing effort, time and costs.

Rolls meter wallpaper all in large quantities spread across the shelves, they are more relevant and convenient than wallpaper standard width. Their only drawback compared to the classic ones is that it is more difficult to adjust the number of sheets. The problem is that people are used to gluing wallpaper that is 53 centimeters wide, and using wider ones is extremely unusual. With the help of this article, you will understand how to properly glue meter-wide wallpaper, and whether it can be done alone.

I suggest you familiarize yourself with the tips, following which you can avoid mistakes during the work process and make repairs correctly:

The process of gluing wallpaper can be divided into stages: preparing the necessary materials and equipment, preparing walls for pasting, preparing glue, marking, cutting meter-long wallpaper, as well as the gluing process itself.

Materials and tools

During the work you will need:

• masking tape;
• plumb line;
• wide brush;
• roller or spatula;
• tape measure or centimeter;
• clean rag or sponge;
• pencil.

In addition to all of the above, you may need sandpaper, putty and primer if there are significant unevenness on the surfaces.

Preparing the walls

Remove covers from sockets and switches, seal the holes masking tape and remove nails, screws, screws, if any, from the walls. After this, you can begin to remove the old wallpaper and remove any unevenness.

Once the surface is clean, you can begin processing it. Clear them out sandpaper. If there are significant unevenness, use putty to eliminate them, and then apply one or two coats of primer.

Attention! You can start applying glue to the wall only after the primer has completely dried.

Be sure to watch the video on how to prepare walls for wallpapering:

Preparation of glue

The adhesive you choose should match the type of wallpaper you have. To prepare it correctly, pour water into a container and pour the dry mixture into it in a thin stream, remembering to stir in a circle. Let the mixture sit for a while. Usually this does not exceed twenty minutes.

Wall marking

Due to the fact that the meter-long wallpaper is glued end-to-end, you can start gluing it from any place. You can decide for yourself where it will be more convenient for you to glue and where you should start in order to spend less material. To glue the first strip evenly, mark a vertical line from which you will glue. To do this, use a plumb line and a pencil.

Cutting cloths

Experts advise leaving ten centimeters at the top and bottom of the sheet as a reserve. Once the glue has dried, they can be easily removed. Carry out cutting on a clean, dry surface. Roll out the roll of wallpaper face down, measure the required length, make a notch, bend the sheet and cut it along the fold line.

Pasting walls and corners

Mix the adhesive solution again and begin applying it with a wide brush to the area that will occupy the sheet. Apply the previously prepared strip to the area coated with glue, and then smooth it from top to bottom and from the center to the edges. Wipe up excess glue with a dry cloth. The second one should be glued butt to the previous one. If your meter-long wallpaper has a pattern, make sure it matches.

Important! When gluing, do not allow a draft to appear in the room.

I would like to draw your attention to pasting in hard to reach places, that is, behind the radiators, in the corners, doorways, in areas with sockets, switches, etc. To properly glue the surfaces behind the battery, cut the wallpaper into strips that will be convenient for you to use. When gluing the strip near an outlet or switch, apply the glue and then apply the wallpaper itself. Once dry, make a cut the right size, remove the excess and screw the protective boxes from sockets and switches into place. Do not glue from the corner if it is uneven. You will need to draw a reference line in advance. This will avoid distortion of the drawing.

There are two options for gluing in the corners. You can choose one of them:

Pasting one

If you don't have someone to help you during pasting, don't despair. You can handle gluing meter-long wallpaper yourself if you buy non-woven ones, because then the glue only needs to be applied to the wall. You can easily cope with joining seams, especially in corners, and aligning the strip. If you didn’t manage to stick the sheet correctly the first time, then one plus of wide wallpaper will help you out. The sheet can be removed and reattached to the wall, and the dense material of the wallpaper will allow this to be done without damaging its structure. If you choose meter-long wallpaper made from other materials, then it is best to glue them with an assistant.

Good luck with your renovation and creativity.

Meter wallpaper remains a curiosity for most domestic users, although they differ from ordinary roll products only in their width of 1 meter. Thanks to this feature Finishing work take less time and effort, but the task becomes more difficult if you have to work alone. In this case, it is important to know how to glue meter-long wallpaper for one person.

If speak about positive aspects this material, the following stand out in particular:

1. A small number of joints. To finish one room, you will need half as many strips, so you will have to worry less about the correctness of the joints. It also gives the impression of a monolithic coating.
2. Speed ​​of work. Wide fragments cover large area, it’s easy to calculate that it’s easier to glue three stripes than six.

But there are also some disadvantages:

• The material requires a perfectly prepared base.
• High consumption. Wide wallpaper They are more expensive, so if a small strip is not enough, you will have to pay for a whole additional roll.

On a note! Typically, wide wallpaper is applied by two or three people, but you can do it yourself if you work quickly.

If a person has already had to glue ordinary half-meter wallpaper, then he can cope with meter-long canvases

Preparatory work

Before gluing wide wallpaper, you need to carry out a number of procedures, which include preparing tools and surfaces, as well as calculating the required amount of material.

How to calculate wallpaper footage

Correctly carried out calculations will save money and also save you from making a second trip to the store or ordering additional material at home. The first step is to calculate the perimeter of the room. To do this, you need to measure the length of adjacent surfaces and multiply the result by 2. Let's say one wall is 3 m long and the other 4 m. This means that the perimeter of the room is 14 m. Since we're talking about about meter wallpaper, it will take 14 strips to cover the wall.

Now you need to find the largest distance from the floor to the ceiling and multiply it by 14. For example, the height is 2.5 m, multiply by 14, it turns out 35 meters. This is the minimum amount of material. If the room has windows, doors, a balcony, etc., it is better not to subtract their dimensions during calculations, this way there will be a supply of material left.

Some people think that it is not necessary to tape off the area behind the furniture, since the wallpaper will not be visible there. Here the decision is only up to the home owner, but it is important to remember that when rearranging, bald spots will appear on the wall. Behind bulky closet, which will not move until a new repair, does not need to be pasted over.

When calculating the amount of material, it is recommended to take into account 1-2 rolls of stock. They may be required not only during pasting, but also after. If there are children or animals in the house, then damage to the wallpaper is a matter of time. So that later you don’t have to look for the same ones to replace the area or completely re-glue, it is better to immediately purchase a supply.

Surface preparation

When gluing meter-long wallpaper, the most difficult stage is the preparatory stage, as is the case with any other types of these products. If the apartment goes major renovation or finishing after putting the object into operation, then all of the following measures must be carried out during work on the ceiling. So, you need to do the following:

Wallpapering should only be done on clean and well-primed walls.

1. Remove the front panels from all sockets and switches and carefully seal the resulting holes.
2. Remove all fasteners from the walls: screws, nails, dowels, and so on.
3. If there is coating on the walls, you need to remove it. As a result, not even a small fragment should remain finishing material.
4. Check if the walls are level. To do this, you should attach them to different points building level.
5. For minor distortions, it is enough to use finishing putty; for serious distortions, plastering may be required.
6. Wait for the material to dry and sand the area.
7. Before gluing wallpaper on the walls, it is necessary to treat the coating with a primer. This material will increase adhesion and save on glue. The drying time for the compositions varies, but usually it is several hours.

Required Tools

To carry out the work you will need:

• wide brush, roller or brush for applying glue;
• container and construction mixer for preparing the composition;
• ruler, level, stationery knife, marker or pencil;
• rubber spatula and roller for ironing wallpaper;
• a rag to remove glue residue.

To paste walls with wide canvases, a generally accepted wallpaper tool is used.

Pasting

Step-by-step instructions on how to glue wallpaper alone:

1. Prepare adhesive composition according to the instructions on the package.
2. Use a level and a pencil to mark the top border.
3. Fold a small part of the strip to form a corner.
4. Place the material against the wall and press firmly.
5. Iron the pasted wallpaper rubber spatula, moving from the center to the edges. You can also use a roller to get the air out.
6. Using a metal spatula and a utility knife, trim off the excess.
7. Inspect the strip and make sure it is completely stuck to the base.

Damp wallpaper is difficult to cut, so in some cases you will have to wait.

Regardless of the width of the canvas, the room is covered according to the same pattern

Docking

The glued sheet must be butted against the adjacent one. If there are pictures on the wallpaper, then it is important to adjust their height. During gluing, the strip must be smoothed at the same time and ensure that it does not move away from the previous one. In this case, it is forbidden to stretch the material to achieve joining; after drying, it will shrink back and there will be a gap.

The joints are rolled with a special roller; an attempt to forcefully pull the sheets together at the seam will lead to the appearance of a gap after drying

On a note! If you need to glue non-woven wallpaper, you can move it along the surface for 10 minutes after pasting. If you use another type of wallpaper, then you should choose an adhesive without additives that accelerate drying.

If the joint does not work, you can overlap the wallpaper and then cut off the excess using a utility knife. The remaining unglued side should be coated with glue and ironed with a rubber roller.

Wallpaper joining with overlap and trimming

Pasting in hard-to-reach places

Now let’s talk about how to hang wallpaper for one person in the corners, behind the radiator, above the doorway. It is better to arrange them at the main stage of pasting. To do this, leave a small overlap (about 2 cm), which will overlap the adjacent wall. To hang wallpaper behind and under the radiator, you need to cut the material into small pieces and select a pattern. After this, the pieces are glued to the wall, as described above.

A simple way to cover the wall behind a radiator

Another difficulty that you will have to face is covering the area with sockets. If on preliminary stage The front panel has been removed and the voltage has been turned off, then you just need to glue the strip, not paying attention to the hole, and then use a knife to cut through the wallpaper. If it works out jagged edges– it’s okay, the front panel will hide these shortcomings. In case of door jambs it is necessary to glue the canvas with a margin of 5 mm. After smoothing, the excess length is trimmed or covered with a casing.

It is advisable to cut holes for sockets and switches after the canvas has dried

Before working with meter-long wallpaper alone, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with some expert advice:

1. There should be no drafts in the room, suitable temperature regime– from +5 to +25 C. In addition, during wet areas also quite difficult to work with, so preparatory stage it is necessary to ventilate and carefully close the room.
2. If gluing is planned in the cold season, then it is better to turn off the radiator. If it is not possible to do this, it is recommended to reschedule the work while the central heating is turned off.
3. Most adhesives are universal, but when choosing, it is better to ask the seller what type of products this composition is suitable for. This will help fix the wallpaper on the surface better.
4. If immediately after pasting, defects are noticed, in particular uneven joints, it is necessary to lift the canvas with a spatula and correct the problem. It is very important not to pull the stripes.
5. After gluing, sometimes difficulties arise with cutting the material. To do this, use a stationery knife or scissors. You need to press the excess part with a spatula and run a knife along the markings. In the case of scissors, you need to bend the edge along the markings and cut it off.
6. If there are uneven cuts at the top or bottom of the wall, you should not try to fix it. As practice shows, this will lead to bad consequences. It is better to purchase skirting boards that will hide imperfections.

If ceiling fillets are not provided, then the perimeter can be cultivated using a frieze

The variety of textures and sizes, reliability and practicality, convenience and simplicity of the pasting process have made non-woven wallpaper the leader in wall finishing materials. Particularly popular are canvases conventionally called meter-long, the width of which is 90–140 cm, in contrast to the standard 53 cm. Master finishers admit that gluing meter-long non-woven wallpaper is a pleasure. Thanks to the structure nonwoven fabric made of cellulose fibers bonded with polymer, they do not stretch, do not tear and glide easily over work surface.

Advantages of wide non-woven fabrics

Meter-long non-woven wallpaper has a number of important advantages before other finishing materials due to the combination of composition and increased width.

• Such coatings are sometimes called “seamless”, since the number of strips glued to the wall is less than in the standard version. Consequently, the number of joints is reduced. The textured surface of the material additionally helps to make the seams almost invisible.
• Installing meter-long sheets saves time, since fewer strips have to be marked, cut, applied, adjusted and joined.
• The price of one wide roll is not equal to the cost of two standard rolls, which means that the costs of material and repairs are generally reduced.

Some disadvantages and inconveniences

Along with the advantages, it is worth highlighting several disadvantages of this type. wall covering, which result in inconvenience during installation.

• The main inconvenient point: despite the fact that non-woven wallpaper can disguise minor defects and flaws in the working surface, for finishing with meter-long canvases you will have to carry out the preparation correctly and efficiently. If there are differences on the surface, problems will arise with joining the sheets.
• Working with wide canvases alone is difficult and tiring, especially when gluing the ceiling.
• Calculating and adjusting meter-long wallpaper, taking into account difficult areas, is more difficult than standard ones. A lack of a couple of centimeters in width will entail the purchase of an additional roll.
• Before gluing wide canvases, you will have to align the corners and transitions between the wall and ceiling. With curved surface connections, joining meter-long non-woven coverings is not an easy task.

Tools and materials

Gluing non-woven fabrics must occur quickly to prevent the glue from drying out. So, oh necessary materials and tools should be taken care of in advance. A sample list looks like this:

• special wallpaper glue for non-woven fabric, diluted and cured according to the instructions;
• paint brushes or a roller for applying adhesive solution;
• rubber roller for leveling the canvas and removing air;
• sponge or dry rag for excess glue;
• sharp knife (wallpaper or stationery);
• pencil and tape measure;
• table (stepladder).

Surface preparation

The stages of rough finishing for pasting meter-long non-woven wallpaper are standard, but are carried out especially carefully. The surface should be smooth, dry, clean and uniform in color.

• The workspace is cleared of sockets, switches, electrical appliances, and the previous decoration is completely removed. How to delete different types old coatings, read.
• Detected pockets of fungus or mold are treated with an antibacterial composition.
• Irregularities are puttied and, after drying, rubbed down with sandpaper.

Note! If the pasted wallpaper is not planned to be painted, the color of the surface will have to be evened out, otherwise you may get a surprise in the form of spots showing through the translucent non-woven material.

• The final step is to apply one or two layers of primer to improve adhesion.

Advice! If the area of ​​the room and the height of the ceiling allow, it is better to quickly level the surfaces, joints and corners with plasterboard.

Preparing gypsum boards for wallpapering is described in detail in.

Marking and cutting of canvases

Non-woven meter wallpaper is glued only end-to-end. To simplify the work, it is better to pre-mark the surface and cut required amount stripes

• Experts recommend starting pasting from the corner. From the selected starting point, a distance of two to three centimeters less than the width of the roll is measured. A straight vertical line is drawn. For example, with a panel width of 106 cm, the distance from the corner to the marking line will be 104 cm.
• Then vertical lines along the width of the wallpaper mark the surface to the next corner.
• Since whole meter strips are not glued to the corners, from the resulting extreme line the tape measure is wound around the corner by 2 cm, markings are applied, then (to the next corner) the width of the panel is measured from this line.
• Solid strips of the required length are cut with a margin of up to 10 cm each. They will be carefully trimmed after the wallpaper has dried. If the design uses a ceiling plinth, you need to leave an allowance only at the bottom - 2-3 cm is enough.
• In the same way, strips for the corners of the required width obtained during marking are cut out.

Gluing process

When the surface is prepared, dried and marked, the panels are cut, the equipment is selected, we proceed to pasting.

Pay attention to the room temperature. While working with wallpaper and for about a day after finishing it, you need to avoid drafts and dry air.

• Using a paint brush or roller, apply glue to the wall, extending slightly beyond the marking line.
• A dry non-woven fabric is applied, aligned along the wall-ceiling joint and at the same time aligned with the vertical line.

Important! When working with non-woven coatings, there is the possibility of adjustment and adjustment: a 10-minute reserve of time until the adhesive solution completely sets. Therefore for independent work It is not recommended to use a quick-drying compound.

• The strip is pressed tightly in the center, then leveled with a special roller. The movements are reminiscent of drawing a Christmas tree: from the center to the sides and at the same time from top to bottom. Excess glue that appears is removed with a sponge or rag.

• Each subsequent non-woven fabric is tightly fitted and joined to the glued one.
• The overlap resulting in the corners is cut in the middle, the excess strips of wallpaper are removed, resulting in an even, invisible seam.

Pasting difficult areas

The technology for gluing straight sections with non-woven wallpaper is simple. Difficulties are usually caused by such “inconvenient” places as the surface of the wall behind the heating radiator, openings and external corners.

• To seal part of the wall behind the radiator, you will have to cut the non-woven sheets into small fragments, and the presence of a pattern complicates the assembly of such a “puzzle”.
• External corners are pasted over in the same way as internal ones: by overlapping, followed by cutting and removing excess. At corners and openings, where there is a possibility of the wallpaper getting caught and torn off, the overlap should be done not in the center, but with an offset of 3–4 cm. The technique for pasting corners is described in more detail.

Coloring

Non-woven wallpaper intended for these purposes can be painted after complete drying. This will happen 2–4 days after gluing.
You can use water-based, acrylic, latex compositions. You need to apply paint to the wallpaper in 2 layers. After applying the first, the surface must dry, which usually takes 12 hours.

How to properly hang non-woven wallpaper

Non-woven wallpaper is remarkable because it can be glued to virtually any surface - plaster, wood, drywall, chipboard, paper, concrete. Be sure to clean the surface of the walls from the previous coating; if the wall is painted, the paint must also be removed. If you find good reasons not to remove the paint, at least sand the painted wall so that the wallpaper adheres more easily to the surface.

Is it possible to glue non-woven wallpaper onto old wallpaper?

Theoretically, this is possible, but there are some nuances.

How to properly glue non-woven wallpaper onto previous wallpaper:

• The previous coating should be paper and thin;
• Old wallpaper should adhere firmly to the surface of the walls;
• Old wallpaper cannot be much darker than new wallpaper.

It is worth warning that the risks of defects in this case are high. For example, bubbles may appear under the wallpaper, or the wallpaper may begin to peel. It is believed that the service life of the new coating from such gluing is reduced.

Is it necessary to apply glue to non-woven wallpaper?

It happens that during repairs a person is overcome by doubts, and he still smears both the strip and the wall. If, as it happens, you have already smeared the strip, then you do not need to apply glue to the wall. Just wipe it with a cloth at the joints.

There is no need to apply glue directly to the wallpaper; this is written on both the label and the wallpaper glue. Glue is applied only to the wall

But it’s easier to apply it to the wall, and then glue the prepared strip. Many people mistakenly smear the entire surface of the walls, but only the immediate work area is needed. If the wallpaper is meter high, this zone increases.

Is it possible to glue non-woven wallpaper onto non-woven wallpaper?

It is highly not recommended to glue non-woven wallpaper on top of other non-woven wallpaper. The risk of the wallpaper falling off is great

Use a needle roller to go over the surface as much as possible. more holes formed on the old wallpaper, then the adhesion to the new ones will work better.

Do I need to prime the walls before gluing non-woven wallpaper?

Of course, you should always prime, no matter what kind of wallpaper you glue. And non-woven wallpaper definitely needs to be glued to a primed wall.

A primer is not needed only in the following cases:

1. If the repair is temporary, and the wallpaper is, in principle, not intended to last long;
2. Wallpaper is light and paper.

If the surface on which the wallpaper will be glued has a defect, then it must be primed

Why do you need wall primer? It's simple - it increases the adhesion (that is, cohesion) of materials, they will stick better to the base.

Is it possible to glue non-woven wallpaper onto a concrete wall?

Of course, there is no need to glue it directly to concrete. First, level the surface with your own hands, apply putty and primer.

How to prime a concrete wall:

• Take a liquid adhesive solution. Apply glue evenly in the first layer, and in the second layer the adhesive solution should be thicker.
• Double coating will increase adhesion, which guarantees successful wallpapering.

Non-woven wallpaper is one of the most popular and versatile wall finishing materials. This is due to their wide range and excellent quality.

It should be remembered that non-woven wallpaper masks the imperfections of the walls.

In addition, meter-long wallpaper is much faster to glue than standard-width wallpaper. Non-woven wallpapers come on a non-woven base or made entirely of non-woven material.

Characteristics of non-woven wallpaper

The composition of this material is fabric and paper fibers impregnated with special binders.

Non-woven fabric is durable and easy to use. It has long been used in textile industry: Added to fabric to add strength and volume.

These meter wallpapers are presented in a wide range color range, texture and density. fast and easy. They do not tear, do not stretch, do not shrink after applying glue. This finishing material perfectly masks minor defects and cracks on the walls.

Non-woven wallpaper does not wear out and retains its original appearance for a very long time. beautiful view. They lend themselves well to painting without losing their relief structure and quality.

The upper part of the wallpaper is vinyl covering. This gives the material strength and lightness, which cannot be said about paper wallpaper.

The variety of textures of this finishing material allows you to imitate any type of surface: plaster, wood, marble, stone.

The multi-layering of non-woven fabric allows you to create the illusion of a three-dimensional image. Thanks to such special effects, the room can be visually enlarged.

How to glue non-woven wallpaper? This material so versatile that it can be applied to any surface: concrete panels, drywall, chipboard sheets, plaster, wood, paper.

But if the meter-long wallpaper is thin enough, then it is preferable to glue it on a flat and smooth surface. If it is a concrete base, then it is necessary to putty all the cracks and irregularities. If the wallpaper is planned in light colors, then the base must be a single color.

For example, if the wallpaper will be glued to drywall, then you must first putty the joints of the sheets, and then apply one layer of putty to the entire surface so that it becomes uniform.

Caring for the non-woven covering is very simple: any dirt can be wiped off damp cloth using a cleaning solution. In the case of paper wallpaper, this cannot be done: it is dirty paper covering can only be replaced.

Preparing the surface for pasting meter-long wallpaper

To work you will need the following tools:

• laser level;
• tape measure and pencil;
• roller with long pile;
• plastic and metal spatulas;
• mounting knife;
• two containers: for glue and water;
• soft sponge.

Preparing the walls begins with dismantling the old covering. Old paper wallpaper It is good to remove with a spatula, after wetting the walls and leaving them for a few minutes.

If the walls are painted, then you will have to work hard: old paint difficult to remove with a spatula and sandpaper. The best option To do this, use a drill with an attachment. A metal brush is suitable as a nozzle.

When the base for the wallpaper is cleaned, it needs to be primed. This is done for good adhesion of the finishing material to the walls.

Using a level, mark vertical lines on the walls in increments of one meter. But the width of this wallpaper is slightly larger, 1.06 m. This margin is needed for possible deformation, shrinkage or correction of edges.

Before pasting, wallpaper must be cut onto all walls at once. If the wallpaper has a displaced pattern, then the material must be purchased with a reserve. If the color is uniform, then there will be no difficulties in matching the pattern.

If the preliminary repairs were carried out according to all the rules: the walls, floor, and ceiling were leveled, then all strips of wallpaper will be the same length.

If produced redecorating without leveling the surfaces, then, most likely, the height of the walls in different areas will be different. This means that the lengths of the stripes will also be different.

The roll is cut on a clean floor, placing the wallpaper face down. Measure the required strip length, make a mark and assembly knife cut off.

When combining patterns, the first strip should be attached to the rolled out roll in the place where the image will meet. The joint of the pattern will be the beginning of the length of the second strip. In this case, part of the wallpaper goes to waste. However, large pieces of material can be useful for gluing in inappropriate places: behind the radiator, cornice, curtain.

The glue should be for non-woven wallpaper. The technology for its preparation is simple. According to the instructions, pour the dry composition into water in a thin stream until the required consistency is obtained. Having removed any lumps from the composition, you can begin gluing.
