When finishing balcony quite often there is question: whether it is possible to make out walls wall-paper? There is opinion that in such conditions this covering can quite dampen and disappear. Others claim that problems such at them do not arise for many years. In this case a lot of things depend on right choice of finishing. What options of wall-paper for balcony are considered as the most practical and popular?
Recommendations about pasting of balcony wall-paper
When choosing specific type of wall-paper for finishing of walls on the balcony it is necessary to consider form and design features of the room, microclimate inherent in it, operating conditions of future covering.
That wall-paper on the balcony served long, it has to be well warmed. It is the best of all if the balcony is heated. Then it is possible to use the any kinds of wall-paper suitable for dry rooms for finishing of walls.
Remember that wall-paper and the glue applied to their fastening to wall do not love sharp temperature drops. Such problems will not arise if you decide to make balcony heated. For this purpose it is possible to unite balcony with the room adjoining to it, to arrange heat-insulated floor, to install the heater or even the electric heater.
If heating of balcony is not provided, it is necessary to use as finishing of walls and ceiling wall-paper only when temperature does not fall below +5 degrees Celsius here. The neglect this condition will lead to spalling of covering sooner or later.
Cheap wall-paper is not recommended to be used when finishing walls of balcony anyway. They inevitably become useless over time and in two-three years demand replacement.
Option No. 1. Flizelinovy wall-paper
This covering is made of nonwoven fiber into which composition enter polymeric additives. Inherently such material represents paper with the improved qualities. It is resistant to moisture influence, wears out a little. Wall-paper from interlining has beautiful impressive surface and is often used under painting. At face side of cloths there can be geometrical patterns and ornament. Some types of such wall-paper imitate the decorative plastered surfaces.
When pasting balcony flizelinovy wall-paper does not recommend to use cloths with geometrical forms. Elements of such drawing should be adjusted to each other, and it will inevitably lead to the raised material consumption. Even the small shift of cloths at their operation will lead to distortion of the drawing. Wall-paper will lose attractive look.
Interlining will long serve, but only in case wall-paper is competently pasted. The surface of walls of balcony before finishing by their wall-paper needs to be grounded carefully. It is possible to use for pasting only special glue as wall-paper on flizelinovy basis rather heavy. The glue structure is required to be applied not on reverse side of cloths, and directly on wall surface.
Option No. 2. Vinyl wall coverings
This line of finishing materials is rather wide. Cloths of this kind have complex structure: front covering and substrate. External part of cloths is made of polyvinylchloride. Wall-paper on paper basis differs in lower price, but is less resistant to destructive influence of moisture. Vinyl wall coverings can have also flizelinovy basis. They differ in durability, resistance to wear, are not afraid of moisture. Wall-paper of this kind by sight seems more volume. It is simpler to fix to wall them.
As the used covering the vinyl wall coverings can be frothed; made of dense vinyl; hot stamping.
Differences between it options have only decorative value and almost do not concern operating ability of wall-paper. Main advantage of vinyl wall coverings: they perfectly transfer humidity. In need of cloth it is possible even to wash.
Option No. 3. Liquid wall-paper
Rather new finishing material which is called "wall-paper" from convention shares. In fact it is finishing mix, decorative plaster which is applied on wall surface in the liquid state. Dry mix contains rich set of components in the structure: cellulose; cotton; silk; dyes; fungicides; softeners. Binding component in liquid wall-paper is usually acrylic dispersion.
Exterior of the wall covered with liquid wall-paper differs in big appeal. By the form finishing will remind material on fabric basis.
The obstacle for use of this wall-paper on the balcony can be considered their low resistance to moisture influence. However this defect can quite be eliminated at the expense of pretreatment of walls varnish or soil.
Apply structure on wall surface by means of the palette. Performance of such works does not demand special skills and qualification.
It is necessary to remember that at the next repair liquid wall-paper should be deleted completely; it is impossible to reuse covering.
Option No. 4. Bamboo wall-paper
Such option of finishing of balcony will be suitable for judges of unusual decisions and fans of exotic in interior. This material can also be considered wall-paper only with reservations: by the form separate elements of covering remind panels rather.
It is possible to use bamboo wall-paper not only in the conditions of high humidity, but also at low temperatures. If the balcony not heated, such material is the best decision.
The bamboo is practical and very durable. It is possible to explain with these properties the high prices such finishing material. Bamboo wall-paper is more expensive than cloths from vinyl and interlining.
Material to wall by means of "liquid nails" is the most convenient to fix.
Option No. 5. Cullets
The basis of such otelochny materials is formed by woven cloth on the basis of fiber glass. This material is eco-friendly and does not cause irritations on skin. Cullets are most often used under painting; at the same time it is possible to apply dye on the most expensive models repeatedly.
Fiber glass has the increased durability to which any other types of wall-paper cannot be compared. It does cullets by fine material for finishing of balcony. Are not afraid of moisture of cloth. They are fireproof. Density and durability of such wall-paper allow to glue cloths even on surface with small defects in the form of cracks. Shortcoming: cullets demand use of special glue, normal glue structures on the basis of fiber glass do not suit for fastening of cloths. The popularity of cullets is high (even taking into account their rather high cost).
