Types of wallpaper

Previously, wallpapers were made from one of the most classic materials - paper. But over time, technology has done its job and now we have the opportunity to choose from a large number of a wide variety of options, each of which will be appropriate in a particular room of a residential building.

Paper wallpaper

Paper wallpapers can be found even in the smallest shop. They occupy a leading position among any other types of wallpaper. This is due to the fact that it was they who began to be manufactured and distributed on an industrial scale, and for a long time there were no alternatives to them. And even now it is very difficult to find an alternative to them, since it is paper wallpapers that are the cheapest on the modern market. In addition, they are one of the most environmentally friendly wallpapers. This wallpaper is perfect for a child’s room with growing kids who love to paint on the walls, as it's inexpensive to replace. In addition, it is paper wallpapers that can please you with “childish” patterns.

Non-woven wallpaper

Non-woven wallpaper is as popular as vinyl. Their main advantage can be called the fact that they are very easy to glue, hold walls well and show excellent resistance to shrinkage.

Vinyl wallpapers

These wallpapers please all housewives with the fact that they are easy to wash. At one time they were a real breakthrough, but now they are available to everyone. This wallpaper is resistant to moisture, not afraid of bright sunlight. In addition, their service life exceeds 15 years, which is a huge period for wallpaper. Such wallpaper can be placed, for example, in the bathroom.

Wall mural

Wall mural is a kind of paper wallpaper. Their main difference lies in the fact that the pattern on the wallpaper is a high-quality photograph. The photograph may include animals, landscapes of the city and nature, plants, insects, abstractions, still lifes, sky, etc. The main essence of them is precisely the high quality of the picture and the special atmosphere created. For example, sky wallpapers are often used as ceiling coverings.

Textile wallpapers

Textile wallpapers are of interest to people who are very concerned not only with the overall environmental friendliness of the wallpaper, but also with the environmental friendliness of their production. Actually, the outer part of the textile wallpaper is created from fabric (jute, linen, viscose). They clean quite well with a regular brush, but they really don’t like water. In addition, they perfectly collect odors, so it is better not to have them in the kitchen. In the nursery, too, you should not glue, as these wallpapers are quite expensive and replacing them will significantly hit your pocket.

Glass fiber

Glass fiber is used in the case when, after gluing the wallpaper, they plan to paint it. Such wallpapers are used quite often, since the full preparation of the wall for painting takes a lot of time and spends a lot of financial resources. But cullets are inexpensive, qualitatively hide wall defects and withstand approximately 5-10 paints. The downside of these wallpapers is that without painting they look quite dull and uninteresting.

Silkscreen

This is a very expensive type of wallpaper, the cost of which is fully justified by the complexity of creating silkscreen wallpapers. Silk-screen printing looks very impressive, expensive and profitable. Due to the specifics of creation, the pattern on the wallpaper looks interesting and lively. Such wallpapers look especially advantageous in the living room or in your personal office. But this is not a very ecological material, and the price is not affordable for everyone.
