Installation of murals of any complexity
Wallpaper is a great home decoration and the easiest way to create the desired atmosphere in it. This is one of the most common finishing materials for walls, which pleases with a variety of textures. If you are bored with ordinary wallpapers, it’s time to pay attention to bright and colorful wallpapers. Moreover, in recent years they have reached a fundamentally new level in quality, convenience and practicality. Any pattern or ornament is applied to a dense base, from realistic landscapes to beautiful geometry.
Types of murals
There are different types of murals that differ in the type of base. But the production technology remains common: the drawing is applied to thick paper and segmented into several parts for ease of gluing. The standard format is the division of the accent wall into several canvases in the form of 8 pieces.
A paper, non-woven or vinyl base is used for manufacturing. Other options are less common. The surface can be matte or glossy. The first one is richer and brighter, and the second one glitters juicy and gives an additional play of light.
- Smooth. Simple and durable, with a reliable protective coating. This is a washable wallpaper that can be posted even in the kitchen. But they require a perfectly flat wall surface.
- Textural. This is a kind of textured plaster from wallpaper. They can mimic sand, leather, papyrus and other factors. Suitable for classic or ethnic interiors. The technology of lying is the same, but due to the texture they hide minor defects of the wall.
- Self-adhesive. It is rather a color film with an adhesive layer. They do not need additional glue. A convenient plus is that in case of an error, they can be carefully re-glued. But the texture of such wallpaper is different.
Qualty:
- In addition to paper, there are different inks for printing. The cheapest option is a regular paper base with eco-solvent ink. These wallpapers are comfortable, eco-friendly, but not so spectacular.
- A fabric cloth with latex ink looks brighter and richer. They are more expensive, but they have better color reproduction. You can paste them directly after printing.
- The most expensive are non–woven wallpaper with UV ink. They are the most colorful and wear-resistant. If you plan to repair for years, this is the best option. The cost will pay off in full.
