Wallpaper has its own characteristics, so when using it, care should be taken for this material to promote its aesthetics and efficiency.
Wallpaper is a very popular finishing material that is now widely used. Together with the function of covering, beautifying the surface of the wall like water paint; However, wallpaper has its own characteristics, so when using it, it is necessary to pay attention to this material to promote its aesthetics and efficiency.

The use of wallpaper increases the aesthetic and visual effect: The vertical striped patterns “pull” the height of the ceiling up, in a large space of an apartment building with low ceilings. Surface smoothness Wallpaper can be used in many spaces, many different rooms. The surface smoothness of wallpaper comes in different degrees, from rough to glossy. With papers with a smooth, glossy surface, the advantage is that it is easy to clean, clean if there is a stain and suitable for places with high humidity, areas related to water. However, in some specific cases it is necessary to pay attention to the smoothness (roughness) of the surface. On large areas of walls, or where there is a strong light source, do not use paper with a very smooth – shiny surface; because it will cause reflections, reduce the aesthetic efficiency in the interior space, and may even cause dazzling. In addition, the gloss of the wallpaper will also easily reveal the defects of the uneven plastered wall surface. Patterns match the space The big advantage of wallpaper over water paint is the pattern. It is necessary to take advantage of this advantage when using this material. There are also types of wallpaper “plain” only color, no pattern, but if used like that, then … like paint. The pattern of the wallpaper is very rich and this is also difficult because it is easy to dazzle when choosing. Choosing the color and pattern of the wallpaper needs to be based on the nature of the space, the specific function room, the size of the wall, the style of the decoration, the furniture … For example, with a space. classical interior space, you can choose sophisticated and aristocratic patterns; in a modern space, choose simple patterns and strong lines. For large walls, large patterns can be used; if the area is not large, if the area is small, use small patterns. Wallpaper should be used as a highlight, like at the head of a bed. Not too rampant Wallpaper should be used in meaningful areas as a highlight, not too rampant. The highlight can be behind the TV shelf, the bedside, the reception area … In addition to the highlight meaning, using wallpaper on too many wall areas has a negative effect: It reduces the likelihood of exchange the moisture of the wall with the environment. When the humidity in the air is high, the wall will absorb less water vapor in the air, and when the humidity in the environment decreases, the amount of water vapor in the wall inside the wall will escape, creating balance. Using wallpaper a lot, when the humidity is high, there will be the phenomenon of “sweating”, running water on the surface. In the case of using multiple wallpapers, on a large area; It is important to pay attention to choose patterns that are light, sunken, with elegant colors, to avoid confusion. Prepare a stable surface When deciding to use wallpaper for a particular surface or wall area, it is necessary to check and locate relevant objects and equipment on the wall surface, such as switch surfaces, sockets, lamp positions. walls, television, air conditioner, clothes hanger, nails – picture hangers, hangers … These positions need to be located accurately and technically. Because if it is necessary to adjust, change the location, or repair those related to these equipment and objects; will leave unattractive “scars” that are difficult to repair – especially when the used paper sample is no longer available. When pasting the wallpaper on the surface of the wall, which already has equipment and objects on it; and if the location is correct; It is best to remove the covers, the wall-to-wall base of the devices, and reattach after finishing. Then these masking surfaces will overlap the surface of the wallpaper, more aesthetically if left intact and cut – paper around the masking surface, the base – is easy to error, not beautiful smudges./.
