In this article, we will look at how to wallpaper the walls yourself, with your own hands, during the renovation of an apartment. We will not take a new, already wallpapered apartment as a basis. So, in order to make a small renovation by current standards, it's enough just to update the wallpaper, and the apartment will immediately refresh itself. This operation should be divided into several stages.
I. Removing old wallpaper. II. Preparation of walls. III.
Wallpapering.
First you need to free the walls from old wallpaper. What is this done for?
There are several reasons why old wallpapers are being removed. Firstly, when pasting with new wallpaper, the old wallpaper may fall off the wall, and you will have to start all over again.
Secondly, the old wallpaper has absorbed many different odors, which does not lead to the creation of a favorable ecological atmosphere in the room. And it's not very pleasant to be in such a room.
Thirdly, under the old wallpaper, if they have been hanging for a long time, various microorganisms, such as mold, could get started. Cockroaches and other domestic insects also often like to live in the space between the wall and the wallpaper.
In order to free the room from the old wallpaper, we first strip off everything that is badly hanging. Where the wallpaper just keeps up with the wall, we use water, a sponge and a spatula. In general, everything that helps us get rid of "junk". It is necessary to remove all the old wallpaper, without leaving even small pieces.
After we removed the old wallpaper, use a spatula, preferably wide, to lightly clean the walls of the "scabs" that remained from the previous operation.
After that, you can proceed to the second stage of wall preparation, that is. We pre-roll all the walls with a primer. You don't have to buy the most expensive one. A cheap one will do. If you have supplies of PVA glue, you can dilute it with water to the state of diluted milk and apply it to the walls. We wait for the walls to dry after priming, and get to work.
First, we seal up large irregularities, where the old plaster has fallen off, etc. For this we use a plaster mixture. It is advisable to use a gypsum plaster mixture. It dries quickly and is sold dry in any hardware store. This allows us to speed up the repair process.
After the large irregularities are repaired, we take the finishing putty and go through all the walls. We will talk about how best to putty walls and which tool to use in this case in a special article. Well, all the walls are plastered.
Next, everything should be sanded. To do this, we use a medium-grain skin. For convenience, you can wrap a small wooden block with a skin and walk along the walls in wide swings. Here we should not be zealous, so as not to peel off all the putty that we have applied. Of course, this process is not the most pleasant, but believe me, it is necessary so that after the wallpaper is glued, the stripes and small bumps that remain after the putty do not appear under them. In certain lighting conditions, they will be very noticeable. Now we are priming all the walls again. We are making sure that there are no smudges. Sometimes the primer mixes with the dust that remains on the walls after scalding, and leaves streaks. These smudges can also appear as unevenness after the wallpaper sticker.
