Types and characteristics of wallpaper for painting

Flizelin is a semi-synthetic non-woven material based on cellulose fiber, sometimes with the addition of polyester.

According to its properties, it is close to paper, but has enhanced operational characteristics:

• High durability.
• Abrasion resistant.
• More dense base.
• Increased resistance to open fire.
• Good moisture resistance.
• Not subject to burnout.
• Not afraid of mechanical damage.
• Allows repeated repainting (5-7 times).

There is an opinion that non-woven wallpaper for painting is harmful, one can argue with that! The composition of the wallpaper includes cellulose - a material used for the production of paper. And everyone knows that paper is an environmentally friendly product.

In addition, compositions that do not contain harmful substances (formaldehydes) are used to solder layers and apply patterns to canvases. The risk for people prone to allergies can be represented only by dust accumulating on the relief of the wallpaper. But if the canvases are smooth, then even this danger disappears.

Since we have non-woven wallpaper - paintable wallpaper, you need to know which paint is best for them.

For painting the paintings, three types of paint are used:

• Water-based paint.
• Acrylic water dispersion.
• Latex paint.

All species have excellent breathability (“breathe”), easy to apply, economical, and UV resistant. But if the water emulsion is less resistant to abrasion and is easily washed off with water, then acrylic and latex have excellent strength and water-repellent properties, they can even be washed with neutral agents.

Non-woven wallpaper is resistant to daily wet cleaning.

The advantages of these types are the absence of an unpleasant odor when staining, quick drying and high environmental safety, they can be used in kitchens and children's rooms, as well as in rooms with high traffic.

Paint for non-woven wallpaper for painting can be:

Glossy paint for wallpaper.

• Matte, it perfectly conceals defects on walls and ceilings.
• Semi-gloss, which is mainly used in dark rooms (corridors, hallways).
• Glossy, it is recommended to use it on perfectly even walls, since the play of light and bright highlights highlight all the hollows and bumps on their surface.

Combined coloring of structural wallpaper.

For bulk paintings, designers combine paint: they apply a matte finish on the entire surface, and then the relief is painted with glossy, thus highlighting the picture even more clearly. Or they paint the structural wallpaper with a special roller that only paints the convex part of the picture.

Tinting white paint is best ordered by specialists.

Experts advise you to buy white wallpaper for coloring, but if you initially chose color, then in order to choose the right shade, it is better to contact the masters.
