Despite the fact that these days construction stores and supermarkets offer a wide variety various materials, we must take into account that among them there are those who have the most useful characteristics and numerous advantages. Such products include smooth wallpaper for painting - non-woven wallpaper and other varieties. And since you’ve decided to learn something new and buy this wallpaper, let’s talk about them in more detail.

As for the origin of the name of this product, it is not at all difficult to guess where exactly it comes from. The point is that, unlike, say, structural wallpaper or from canvases that have a pronounced relief, and in our particular case, wallpaper for painting has a completely flat and smooth surface. Moreover, in most cases they do not have any designs or patterns. In this case, you can ask a reasonable question about what is the point of painting smooth wallpaper if you can just go ahead and paint the wall itself. Of course, this is true, however, only partially.

The fact is that such canvases have several main tasks that they perform. And, depending on which function is most important for you, you will focus on one or another feature of the material.

Note! One of the most significant tasks The purpose of wallpaper in this case is not just to decorate the walls and partitions of the room, but also to hide small irregularities, scratches, cracks and other mechanical damage. That is why, to some extent, wallpaper intended for painting can be considered as a replacement for putty. In other words, they act as a kind of substrate on top of which a layer of paint is applied.

Main varieties

So, the most common and popular on this moment There are such types of smooth wallpaper for painting as:

• non-woven fabrics;
• material made from fiberglass.

Let's talk about each of these types in more detail and focus on their main characteristics.

Nonwoven

So, smooth non-woven wallpaper for painting has one layer. By the way, this is precisely their main difference from ordinary canvases made from this material, which, as is known, have 2 layers: a base and an outer decorative coating, which is most often made of vinyl (PVC). The absence of a vinyl layer in no way affects their functionality, since this material is intended to solve other problems.

So, what are the advantages of such coverage? Let's get a look:

1. Ability to hide some damage on walls.
2. When drying, they do not crack or shrink.
3. Safety for human health.
4. They are easy to paint with your own hands, even for an inexperienced person.

Among technical characteristics For such wallpapers, I would like to note their density, which may differ depending on the specific model. By the way, according to reviews from many new residents, it is this kind of wallpaper that is best used for gluing walls in new buildings.

Fiberglass wallpaper

Being famous incl. like glass wallpaper or fiberglass, this material is widely known primarily due to high level environmental friendliness The fact is that it is made on the basis exclusively natural materials, such as:

1. Organic resins.
2. Mineral fiberglass.

Note! So that this does not mislead you, you must remember that such wallpaper is also known by its popular name - “fiberglass web”.

A peculiarity of the structure of such a fabric is that the threads that make up its basis are not arranged evenly, but are intertwined without observing any clearly defined order. Like the non-woven “brothers” of fiberglass, it can differ in density. This decorative coating has a number of significant advantages. Let's list them:

• Resistant to moisture and high temperatures.
• Long service life.
• Immunity to the occurrence and spread of mold and mildew.
• Resistance to dust settling.
• Hypoallergenic and safe for human health.
• High level of fire safety.

However, when working with smooth fiberglass-based wallpaper, you must be careful and use gloves, since when cutting the wallpaper, small glass particles can separate from the structure, which, if they come into contact with an unprotected skin surface, can cause irritation.

Remember! In addition to using gloves, when working with the material, it is necessary to provide eye and respiratory protection using special safety glasses and a respirator/mask, respectively.

Paintable liquid wallpaper

An alternative option, which we have not yet mentioned in our article today, is to use it for painting. liquid wallpaper- material that, in its own way, appearance, and also in the method of application it is more reminiscent of decorative plaster than roll wallpaper, in their broadest sense.

So, to apply this coating to the wall surface, you will need to use a non-traditional technique of gluing conventional wallpaper in combination with appropriate tools, and technologies that are more familiar for installation decorative plaster. So, in order to apply liquid wallpaper, you will need not a roller, a brush and a plastic comb for smoothing out “bubbles” and folds, but a spatula.

Note! Despite the external similarity, as well. to a certain extent, a similar process of applying the material, liquid wallpaper, incl. and those intended for painting are radically different from plaster in their composition.

This material, by the way, has numerous advantages that should also be taken into account:

• Easy to install (application can be done independently, following the instructions).
• The ability to repair a damaged area without any visible consequences and external signs repair.
• The great look you'll end up with.
• An excellent level of environmental safety, thanks to which they can be used in rooms such as the nursery, living room and bedroom.

Conclusion

As we can see, it is not necessary to use such a technique to prepare the wall surface before finishing, like putty. It is for this reason, in part, that the popularity of such material as smooth paintable wallpaper has grown. They, as we see, can be not only the usual ones, made on the basis of non-woven fabric, but also have a fiberglass base. In addition, in some cases it is allowed to use liquid wallpaper for painting, which is also smooth in appearance and surface characteristics.
