As a type of finishing material for large areas, ceiling wallpaper for some incomprehensible reason are produced only in their homeland. European manufacturers of such a strict division of this material into wall/ceiling do not adhere to, it is customary to glue on the ceiling the material called «Wallpaper for Painting».
Whatever name people do for the material used for decorative ceiling decoration, it is clearly different from the walls. The first and main difference is a high density, which is obtained by gluing several layers of solid paper. Only after that the material is decorated with embossing or patterns.
For rooms with high humidity, for example, kitchen, moisture -resistant wallpaper or even synthetic films (polyvinyl chloride or multi -layer on paper/tissue basis) are used.
Playing the ceiling with finishing material gives it a beautiful neat view. If you use imported wallpapers (those that are painted), then the type of ceiling can even be changed from time to time, so the decoration will seem to be new every time. Domestic manufacturers did not take care of such an opportunity, so if the ceiling loses an attractive appearance, then it will only have to be re -packed.

The advantages that highlight the wallpaper from all the materials used for the design of the ceilings are understandable:
simplicity and speed of work;
optimal cost;
the ability to hide some surface irregularities.
The relative drawback can be assumed that the loner is not possible to glue the wallpaper, so you have to invite friends or relatives.
When choosing, it is worth evaluating the available offers, choose a pattern and color, taking into account the location of the room relative to the sun and its purpose, choose the type of wallpaper that is as suitable for the interior design in the room and will answer personal wishes.

What to take into account, pasting the ceilings for the first time?
In order not to spoil the material and day off, you should carefully listen to the advice of the masters:
The surface must be well prepared, cleaned of dust, fat, aligned if necessary, plowed.
For thin paper wallpapers, more thorough preparation of the surface is important, embossed — less picky, due to relief and thickness, they themselves will hide some irregularities.
When gluing non -woven wallpaper, glue is applied only to the ceiling, if your choice fell on paper, you will have to smear with glue and them. You should not let them soak for a long time, otherwise you can lose the canvas, since it will simply break when gluing.
It is desirable, but it is not at all necessary — to treat the surface of the ceiling with an acrylic primer, dried up — you can engage in wallpaper.
Forget about the usual newspapers, under the ceiling wallpaper they have no place if you do not want to get a spotted ceiling.
Wallpaper and drafts are incompatible, so even the windows will have to be closed.
Place the glued strip from the window to the far wall so that the light falls along the joints of the paintings.
If the selected wallpapers do not require selecting a picture — it’s generally easier to measure, it is enough to measure only the desired length. Otherwise, having measured the first canvas, the second should be selected for it.
Do not be greedy for a couple of centimeters, better measure the allowance.
If the wallpaper requires glue, it is desirable to do this from the middle to the edges.
To level wallpaper on the surface of the ceiling, it is best to use a rubber roller.
When gluing each next strip, it is important to monitor the quality of the joints.
The place of attachment of the chandelier requires attention, here you should slightly cut the wallpaper and go around the wires (before work, make sure that they are protected).
If you take into account such simple rules, you can independently do all the work on the ceiling, avoiding the expenses on professional builders.
