The methods of pasting vinyl wallpaper depend on the primary material. The minus of such wallpaper is that its property of absorbing moisture. In Barcelona there are rules for pasting such wallpaper, taking into account their properties. For this, you will need: wallpaper glue, a rubber roller for leveling, a brush for applying glue, a plumb bob, a ladder or a strong chair and the wallpaper itself.
Pasting vinyl wallpaper in Barcelona is carried out according to simple actions. First, you need to clean the walls, level and remove cracks with plaster. The surface of the walls is opened with a primer material and allowed to dry completely. For the starting line, you need to use a plumb bob to mark the vertical strip along the entire height of the wall. This line will be the beginning of pasting the first strip of wallpaper. Beforehand, it is necessary to cut the rolls of certain sizes, folding them in a stack with the outer side down. Then apply glue to the wall or to the first sheet. Usually, the information about where it is better to apply the glue is contained in the instructions for the wallpaper. Standing on the ladder, bring the upper part of the first sheet to the wall, aligning the edge of the wallpaper with the edge of the ceiling trim. At the same time, the partner supporting the lower edge of the strip should align it with the vertical line marked on the surface of the wall. By aligning the clearly vertical and horizontal marks, the wallpaper needs to be smoothed with a rubber roller initially from the center down and up, then to the sides. This will help get rid of the air layer between the wall and the wallpaper. The extra glue sticking out on the edges should be quickly and carefully removed with dry cloth. The next strip is pasted in a stack with the first one, without stretching the wallpaper material, because when drying they have the property of compressing, leaving a gap between the seams.
The professionals of the internal repairs of Barcelona advise to pay attention to well-pressed edges of the wallpaper, the amount of applied glue. Also, according to the masters of Barcelona, to ventilate the windows, without allowing drafts, is allowed.
