Technology for gluing non-woven wallpaper to the ceiling for painting and finishing with plinths

Why do you need repair interlining?

Anyone who has been renovating their home has been puzzled by the question: how to prepare the surface of the walls before applying the final finishing coat, be it wallpaper or just acrylic paint.
Usually, a layer of finishing plaster is applied for this, but you need to know how to do this, and this process is also accompanied by an abundance of dust and debris. An alternative to finishing coating, in modern construction, to level the surface of walls and ceilings, is the use of fiberglass or painting non-woven fabric. That’s what we’ll talk about in this article about painting, or in other words, repair non-woven fabric. So, repair non-woven material is an impregnated non-woven material used for decorative finishing of walls and ceilings in all types of premises. Non-woven fabric consists of long-fiber cellulose and synthetic fibers interconnected by polymer materials. The ratio of these components gives the non-woven fabric different characteristics. To give the walls a smooth look, a non-woven fabric is required, in which cellulose predominates. With the predominance of synthetic fibers, the surface of the non-woven fabric is rough and after gluing the relief of the fabric structure appears.

Repair interlining varies in material density - from 65 to 175 g/m²

Advantages of non-woven fabric:

It has an increased (compared to fiberglass) reinforcing effect - it masks cracks, rusts, seams between panels on walls and ceilings, does not allow microcracks to “grow”, and prevents the appearance of network-like cracks on painted surfaces.

Levels and strengthens the surfaces of walls and ceilings before painting, making the surface for painting perfectly smooth and mechanically strong. Significantly reduces paint consumption. Replaces finishing putty before painting. Repair interlining can be glued to all types of plasters, porous concrete, plasterboard, wood, plastic panels, fiberboard and chipboard. Non-woven fabric also adheres well to old wallpaper of any type and old paint, which makes repairing old premises much easier and cheaper.

Recently, environmental friendliness and toxic safety of housing have become increasingly popular. So, in the production of non-woven fabric, most of the raw materials are of natural origin; heavy metals and their compounds, organic solvents, mineral fibers and formaldehydes are not used.

Repair interlining:

• does not contain fiberglass,
• non-toxic,
• does not release harmful substances into the environment.

High antifungal resistance helps it fight mold formation. Thanks to a high degree of vapor permeability, it creates a healthy indoor microclimate.

Pasting a surface with non-woven fabric does not require additional skills and anyone can do it, even if you are doing it for the first time. On the prepared base - the surface must be strong, dry, free of dust and dirt, cracks, irregularities and chips filled with any putty - apply glue for non-woven wallpaper using a roller. It is better if the glue is of the same brand as the interlining (as a rule, manufacturers make the entire line of products). Apply a non-woven canvas, previously cut to size, onto the surface treated with glue. The following canvases are fitted end-to-end, while the seams remain almost invisible. If the sheet does not fit very well, you need to immediately peel it off and re-glue it. You can paint the finished surface after 24 hours with any water-based acrylic or latex paint using a soft fleecy roller (two layers of application) or a spray bottle (about three layers of application). When using dark colors, it is recommended to repaint the paint no more than three times in the future; when painting with pastel colors, it can be repainted more than seven times.

So, let's summarize:

• repair interlining has high strength, does not deform, retains its shape even in conditions of high humidity;
• protects against the formation of cracks during shrinkage of walls in new houses;
• improves sound insulation;
• difficult to ignite;
• has a long service life (up to 25 years);
• can be repainted up to 7 times;
• easy to use;
• It can be easily removed without leaving any traces.

Using repair non-woven fabric, you keep up with the times!

Did you know that

When choosing a modern repair interlining (also called painting or construction) as a finishing material for painting, you need to take into account some features, or more precisely:

• The first and most important aspect is the choice of repair non-woven fabric. Some unscrupulous manufacturers save on polyester or polyethylene fibers, leaving cellulose as the base component. The result is high-quality, dense cardboard with the addition of specific fibers, and not repair interlining (perhaps it will suit you as a denser fiberglass). Instructions for use will help you understand in the store that you are looking at cardboard called non-woven fabric or a quality product: if you are advised to apply glue first to the canvas and to the wall, wait a while for absorption, you should know that this canvas is dominated by cellulose. High-quality non-woven interlining is glued to the wall immediately (the glue is applied only to the surface of the wall).
• It is important to choose the right density of the material. For smooth, even walls (ceilings), a density of 80-85 g/m is sufficient, while in the presence of cracks and plane errors, at least 130 is required.
• Then. It is necessary to understand that gluing the canvas still requires a certain skill - the ability to join without a gap and without overlap, just butt to butt (like wallpaper). If the joints are still visible, experienced craftsmen advise additionally covering the surface with an acrylic primer - it will create an even film on the seams and they will be invisible when painting.
• Painting moment. Many years of experience suggest that it is more effective to apply paint with a roller (many finishers recommend façade paint), as if rolling it into the structure - this provides a smooth, glossy surface (when sprayed from a spray bottle, the paint lays down as a top layer, with possible clots and bubbles). As for the number of layers, the optimal coating is considered to be one layer of white paint and the next 2 layers of tinted paint.

Let us remind you! High-quality interlining does not require subsequent putty ; it is an alternative to finishing putty. A material that allows finishing the finishing process in a short time with minimal pollution of the surrounding space.02.24.2016, .Elena 02.15.2019 11:10:06 #

Overview of the main features of the material

To understand the features of working with non-woven coating for painting, you need to understand what this material is and what criteria high-quality samples must meet.

Manufacturing technology

Non-woven paper for painting consists of the following main components:

• The basis is long-fiber cellulose - a durable and reliable material.
• The top layer is made of the finest polyester fibers, thanks to which the surface is so smooth and durable.
• The binding component is a polymer acrylic composition, which gives the coating a lot of positive properties: lack of linear expansion, resistance to humidity and temperature changes and a very long service life.

The surface of the coating resembles a drawing paper, but its structure is much smoother and softer. This coating is suitable for any room, it is completely environmentally friendly and does not emit any harmful substances during operation. That is why it can be used even in children's rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. .

Criterias of choice

High performance properties of this type of finish can only be guaranteed when the material is made from high-quality raw materials and in compliance with numerous standards.

It is quite simple to distinguish a high-quality product from a low-quality one:

• The main indicator of quality is a perfectly smooth, silky structure. Any extraneous inclusions, irregularities and other defects indicate that the product was manufactured in violation of technology. It is from the surface that you should start choosing the optimal option.
• Leading manufacturers pay great attention to the ideal processing of edges, since these are the most problematic areas - flaws and tears significantly worsen the appearance of the surface.
• Another indicator of high quality is the elasticity of the material; if there are traces of bending on it, it is better to choose another sample that is more resistant to damage.
• The composition should not contain any foreign additives. To ensure this, you need to ask the seller to provide a quality certificate. If it is not available, it is better to refuse the purchase, since all products in this group must undergo certification.
• Another important factor is the lack of stretch in any direction. It is very simple to check this; you need to pull any section of the material in different directions; if it is even slightly stretched, its strength is quite low.

Unlike fiberglass, construction non-woven fabric for painting is almost opaque; any visible fibers are a sign of low quality

Advice! It is best to choose products from well-known brands or read reviews about a particular material on construction forums on the Internet. As a rule, the necessary information can be found fairly quickly.

Features of working with non-woven canvas

Working with non-woven canvas Before gluing the canvas, it is necessary to eliminate existing unevenness on the surface of the walls by filling them with acrylic putty.
Gluing non-woven canvas is similar to gluing wallpaper, with some nuances. To begin, prepare the glue strictly according to the instructions. Apply the solution to the surface on which you are going to glue the interlining.

It is more convenient to glue the canvas together, since the sheet must first be applied to the surface as carefully as possible, and then carefully leveled with a spatula. The next sheet is glued side by side, paying special attention to the joints. When gluing non-woven canvases, smooth them with a wallpaper spatula.

After gluing the canvas, it needs to be given about a day to dry, and then primed with any deeply penetrating composition. Next you can start painting. Unlike cullet, non-woven lining does not need to be puttied again after drying. A variety of paints are suitable for painting. Just keep in mind that when painting protruding metal elements, it is better to use fire-resistant paints for metal.

Non-woven fabric is a fire-resistant material. Using it, you don’t have to worry too much about fire safety in the room. In general, this material is suitable for any room, and if handled correctly, the resulting surface should be almost perfectly smooth and even.

How to paint non-woven fabric on the ceiling?

It is important to start painting non-woven wallpaper after it has completely dried. In this case, the colorful elements can be paints based on water dispersion, latex and water-based emulsion.

When choosing a color for non-woven fabric, you can use both standard shades (white paint) and colored ones

The main thing is that the color used harmonizes well with the interior of the room, that is, the colors of the walls and furniture (more details: “How to paint wallpaper on the ceiling - options”).

The tool for applying paint to non-woven fabric should be a short-haired roller. Painting is required in two layers. The first coat of paint should be applied perpendicular to the wall with the window, and the second – parallel to it. This painting method will avoid the formation of streaks on the ceiling.

As it becomes clear, non-woven fabric is an excellent finishing material. If you have questions regarding its sticker on the ceiling, it is recommended to contact specialists who can often provide photos of ceiling options equipped with non-woven wallpaper, as well as a video on their correct sticker.

Advantages of non-woven wallpaper for painting

Non-woven wallpaper has a number of undeniable advantages that increase interest in this type of finishing material. Strengths are expressed in the following:

1. 
   Pronounced decorativeness.

   Vinyl-coated wallpaper has a pronounced texture that is not lost even with multi-layer paint application. The material allows you to give the walls a relief pattern, which is clearly visible visually and makes the room more aesthetically pleasing.
2. Light weight. Non-woven fabric is a lightweight material, due to which the canvas does not create high loads on the base. And it can be used for reinforcing loose and porous bases, used on walls with a slope, arched passages and ceilings.
3. Elasticity and flexibility. Non-woven wallpaper takes the shape of the wall well, and at the same time perfectly masks defects without the possibility of tearing or damaging the canvas, as is the case with glass wallpaper. Non-woven fabric is much easier to glue, reducing the labor intensity of repair work.
4. Foundation strength. Non-woven wallpaper, like fiberglass, provides high strength to tensile loads. They perfectly reinforce the wall and prevent the formation of cracks. Recommended for finishing new houses that are shrinking.
5. Moisture resistance. Due to the introduction of polyester fibers into the composition, non-woven fabric has pronounced moisture resistance. It does not absorb moisture from the air and does not lose its properties even after short-term contact with water. Finished walls can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
6. Vapor permeability. The material allows steam to pass through well. Like fiberglass analogues, they allow walls to “breathe”, provided the paint is chosen correctly.
7. Repeated repainting. This type of wallpaper can be repainted up to 5 times. At the same time, the new layer of paint will not deteriorate the decorative effect of the relief.

Disadvantages of non-woven wallpaper for painting

Along with the positive qualities, non-woven wallpaper for painting has its own characteristics and disadvantages. They are expressed as follows:

1. Low strength of the decorative layer . Paintable wallpaper with vinyl coating is not wear-resistant. The coating can be easily scratched even with a fingernail. This limits the scope of use of such material. It is not recommended for use in finishing premises with high traffic intensity (offices, administrative and public institutions). If there are animals with claws in the house (especially cats), then it is better to give preference to fiberglass analogues.
2. Low chemical resistance . Non-woven fabric does not have any significant resistance to aggressive substances. It can be damaged by alkali and acidic environments. This limits the applications of the products to residential, dry and clean areas.
3. Price. Non-woven wallpaper cannot be considered a cheap material. Although, if we take into account that they do not absorb paint as abundantly as fiberglass, repairs using non-woven fabric will be more budget-friendly and less labor-intensive.

Advantages and disadvantages

Non-woven fabrics are very easy to apply and care for. They can be wiped with a damp cloth or cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. They are fire resistant and therefore safe. They are hypoallergenic because... the top layer does not absorb dust. The wallpaper is resistant to fading and fading, which means that the rich, bright color will delight its owners for a long time.

They can be glued to uneven surfaces. The structured surface will hide small irregularities and cracks well. Another advantage is the relatively low cost of the material.

Non-woven wallpaper for painting is very durable, and therefore they are easy to glue, they do not tear or crumple. Due to the fact that the glue is applied to the wall, there is no need to look for additional space for rolling out wallpaper on the floor and wiping the glue. Vinyl sheets are attached, for example, to the wall five minutes after applying the adhesive.

The ability to update the interior by painting the wallpaper a new color without any special material or physical costs is also a definite plus in favor of this material. In addition, the appearance of the room can be changed as often as you want. You can repaint them as many times as possible until the top layer is erased. The color palette for repainting can be any. In addition, if you need to remove the covering, you can peel off only the top layers (vinyl), leaving a layer of non-woven fabric on the wall. In the future, you can easily stick new material on it or cover it with paint.

It is worth considering that dust may accumulate on wallpaper with a textured volume, but it can also be cleaned. The top layer of the coating is subject to mechanical damage, so you need to be careful if small children and animals live in the house. You should not buy very cheap material. It is better to choose a white canvas or a plain one. Then it is easier to decorate, and color distortion can be avoided, and the color palette will appear in the tone in which it was originally intended.

Advantage of the material (declared by the manufacturers)

Non-woven fabric for painting is environmentally friendly and does not harm human health, so it can be used in any room. Security explained:

• Absence of PVC;
• The material allows liquid to pass through like paper products;
• It is difficult to ignite, for this reason it is not classified as a fire hazard.

Another plus is the ability to cover surface imperfections, so this is a good option if you intend to paint the walls, glue wallpaper or install other finishing materials.

It helps to create unusual design ideas on the surface using plaster and putty mixtures. In addition, it has tensile strength. It is for this reason that it is similar to reinforcing products. Able to hide and also retain cracks, it is also noted that non-woven fabric:

• Does not stretch;
• Water does not cause shrinkage of the painting interlining for painting;
• It does not change its structure and does not deteriorate from exposure to humidity and moisture, it is only important to install it according to the rules.

Manufacturers claim that the material can provide a strong connection with many types of substrates:

• Plaster, it should not crumble;
• Plasterboard sheets;
• Old wallpaper or paint that could not be removed;
• Plastic or fiberglass;
• Wooden slabs or chipboards.

It is impossible to say with certainty that such a solution will help to completely avoid problems with these surfaces, because other difficulties may arise with the old finish and poorly adhering base. In practice, it has been found that it is better to choose fiberglass for damaged walls; in the end it will cost less due to a better result.

To successfully use this building material, it is necessary to bring the base to the following parameters:

• The color should be neutral;
• Lead to a homogeneous, smooth, even state;
• Be completely dry.

The canvases are distinguished by their surface stability, so applying a new coating is allowed several times. It will be easy to remove the outdated finishing material from it, but the non-woven canvas itself will not be damaged during this process.

The same can be done if the base was painted; you can repaint the surface many times. If you need to remove the canvas itself for painting, then dismantling it is not difficult. In addition, they note the properties: light resistance, sound insulation, lasts up to 25 years. The downside is that it attracts dust on the embossed surface, and the embossed texture is weak to mechanical damage.

What is the difference between painting non-woven fabric and fiberglass?

To understand exactly which of the similar materials is better to choose – fiberglass or non-woven fabric, you should study their differences and features of use. The first type of reinforcing product does an excellent job of covering surface imperfections, containing and preventing the appearance of cracks. Suitable for use as a base for painting surfaces or gluing wallpaper. It will give strength to the wall or ceiling on which it will be glued.

It is most often used in buildings where durability and wear resistance are not required, such as low-cost office spaces. The non-woven look is a more effective option for finishing walls in a residential building or apartment, where the owners often want to make repairs without spending a lot of time on it.

Also, painting non-woven fabric is distinguished by its environmental composition, good vapor permeability, and fire safety. It is easier to carry out repair work with it; its resistance to moisture allows you not to be afraid of changes in structure and deformation over time.
