Ceiling Wallpaper: What are there and What is better to choose
In the USA, some manufacturers produce ceiling wallpaper specifically designed for ceilings. This is a high-density paper material with a relief pattern (embossed). But many types of wall wallpaper are also suitable for the ceiling.
Wallpaper is a common type of decoration. This material is more often used for walls, but today many people choose wallpaper for the ceiling. Installing wallpaper on the ceiling makes the room beautiful, with a design touch. Let’s look at the features of choosing the type of wallpaper, color and pattern for the ceiling.
What kind of Wallpaper can be installed to the ceiling?
Paper - Wallpaper
They consist of one or two layers. More often, the surface of such wallpaper is smooth, but sometimes shallow embossing is done. Paper wallpaper is the most budget option. They are eco-friendly and allow the surfaces to “breathe”, so the microclimate will be favorable for health. The material is lightweight, will not peel off under its own weight.
But this kind of wallpaper is short—lived - it lasts no longer than 5 years and does not tolerate dampness. In the kitchen, bathroom or hallway, you should not install such wallpaper.
Paintable - Wallpaper
The base is paper or non—woven, sometimes with vinyl coating. The material itself is white or of a similar color, the surface can be painted several times, and if desired, even covered with original drawings. They are mainly produced with a texture of different types, but sometimes there are smooth ones.
Vinyl - Wallpaper
The base is made of paper or non-woven fabric, and foamed PVC is applied on top. It turns out a relief coating that is resistant to moisture, which can even be washed. Vinyl wallpaper on a non-woven basis is suitable for the kitchen or bathroom, because it does not get wet and is easy to clean. Durable. The service life of the wallpaper is approximately 15 years.
The texture of vinyl wallpaper masks minor surface imperfections well. You can align the ceiling ceiling not as carefully as under thin paper wallpaper.
Non-woven - Wallpaper
It is based on non—woven cellulose material with synthetic additives. The wallpaper is strong and durable, cleaned with a soft brush or a damp cloth. They are easy to install — the glue is applied only to the ceiling, and the wallpaper is glued in a slightly damp form. They do not shrink and to some extent hide irregularities and cracks. They pass steam, providing a healthy microclimate.
The rolls are wider than the paper variety. Wallpaper after installation does not give air bubbles, and there are fewer joints and seams, so the ceiling looks more aesthetically pleasing. But it is much more difficult to make each cut of the edge, for which we recommend hiring a wallpaper installer, rather than installing the wallpaper yourself.
