When buying, many people think only about the design of finishing materials and forget about the structure. Although often the durability and attractiveness of wallpaper depends on it. Let’s discuss two types of wallpaper
Simplex — thin, most often paper single-layer products. Depending on the design, the material may have a raised, smooth, glossy or matte finish. A significant drawback of such models is the change in properties under the influence of ultraviolet rays. Such wallpapers burn out faster, tear and begin to bubble. One more point — before gluing, it is necessary to carefully prepare the surface, otherwise all the irregularities of the wall will be visible.
Duplex wallpaper consists of several layers. Such products are resistant to UV, moisture and temperature changes. The durable material has an air-permeable surface, so no fungus or mold will appear between the elements of the structure. Such a finish is suitable for different rooms and will perfectly hide the shortcomings of the walls.
A variety of designs and textures are found in each group of wallpapers. However, it is worth remembering that duplex models will last much longer. If you do not plan to update the repair soon, it is better to focus on them.
