The most common problem that those who decide to re-wallpaper one of the rooms may encounter is bubbles on their surface.

We will tell you about the reasons for the appearance of such a defect, as well as how to avoid the appearance of bubbles on the trellises.

First of all, it is worth talking about the importance of preparing the walls for wallpaper, the surface of which should be clean and free of traces of old coatings.

Before you start pasting, level and prime the walls – this way you can ensure strong adhesion of the wallpaper to their surface.

Sometimes the appearance of bubbles is caused by violations in the gluing technology.

For example, if you are going to glue paper wallpaper, you need to spread it with glue and leave it for a couple of minutes so that the canvases soak in. In the case of vinyl and non-woven wallpaper, the glue is applied directly to the wall.

Regardless of the type of coating, a sufficient amount of adhesive composition should be applied without gaps.

The next step, which should never be neglected if you do not want to see bubbles, is smoothing the wallpaper.

The fabrics should be smoothed, moving from top to bottom, from the center to the edges, to get rid of excess air.

Finally, let us remind you of the importance of choosing the right glue for the type of wallpaper and the need to avoid drafts.
