You decided to glue the ceiling with wallpaper? This task is not easy, but if desired is quite feasible. It will be very difficult to cope with her alone, so it is better if someone helps you. Four hands past the ceiling with wallpaper will pass much faster and easier. First you need to pre -prepare the ceiling coating. Be sure to clean the ceiling from the old coating, whether it is paint or plaster, and from dust and web. If the ceiling is uneven, then it is advisable to leve it. If there are cracks, then be sure to put them, otherwise all these shortcomings, then they will be displayed on the wallpaper, and it will be very sorry for the forces spent. The next step is recommended to thoroughly chop the ceiling with acrylic soil paint.
After which you can proceed to the wallpaper sticker. Tip: To check the readiness of the ceiling for glorification with wallpaper, just glue the tape to it. After removing on the adhesive tape there should not be any particles, otherwise, the wallpaper can be poorly held on the ceiling surface and quickly peel off.
For the correct and even placement of wallpaper on the ceiling, marking the strips should. Each strip is equal to the width of the roll of your wallpaper minus a pair of centimeters. Marking is carried out around the entire perimeter of the ceiling and will allow it quite easily and most importantly smoothly glue the wallpaper. Do not forget to turn off the electricity and close the windows and doors to eliminate draft. Now you need to prepare glue for wallpaper. For different types of wallpaper, manufacturers recommend using their type of glue. For vinyl wallpaper – one type of glue, for paper – the other. If you have liquid glue, it is recommended to dilute it with water 40 minutes before the start. Be careful and do not overdo it, since the glue is better for pasting the ceiling with a more viscous and thick consistency. It is recommended to strictly adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions!
Apply glue to the marked segment of the base with a brush or roller. And also lubricate the first strip of wallpaper with glue and leave it to lie down for a couple of minutes to allow the glue to absorb. The direction of wrapping the wallpaper should be parallel to the direction of the light from the window. Take the first strip of wallpapers and attach one end to the junction of the ceiling and wall (the other end must support your assistant). Then begin to evenly smoot the wallpaper on the ceiling with a special roller or towel. At the same time, do not forget to make sure that the edge of the wallpaper does not go to the side and is parallel to the wall line. Tip: after gluing the canvas, repeatedly smear the edge of the wallpaper with glue – they dry out the fastest. With each next strip, you do the same manipulations, only now each next strip glue the junction in the joint with the previous strip of wallpaper. To get around the chandelier, you need to make a neat incision. When gluing the last strip, bend the wallpaper along the joint of the ceiling and walls and carefully cut off the excess part. Once again, pay attention to that throughout all the work on gluing and preferably 24 hours after the end, there was a constant temperature in the room, and there were no drafts.
