Wide vinyl wall coverings and how to hang them

Paper back vinyl

Be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions first.

Most DIY people have never hanged a wide vinyl wall covering, and most decorators don't. Although this process is very different from the domestic vinyl wall coating with a common width, it is not difficult to hang. . As for professional decorators, who has a successful experience of hanging home width vinyl should be a breeze for them.

Tool Decorator shires Straight Pencil Tape Measure Stanley Blade Spirit Level Snap [the larger of the 2 options] 2 Plastic Scrapers 1x 2 "Paint Brush 1x 9" Roller Short Pile Long Life Sleeve 1x Bucket and Decorative Sponge 1x Scraper mop or sponge straight edge anti-skid knife

1. Find out where you want to start and where you are going to complete, allowing you to lose mode [if any] in the least visible corners.

2. When you plan on how to do this, start from your starting point, measure the whereabouts of your first piece of work, and allow wasting at the corner and get a license of about an inch.

3. Now mark where the vinyl will go, and draw a line from the top to the left of the wall with a spiritual level.

That is the place you gave up for the first time. Now measure the line 2 inches [5 cm] smaller than the width of the vinyl so that the second drop overlaps the first drop by 2 inches and repeats around the room, each time marked with a spirit layer, and each drop in the hanging order Numbered.

5. Now that you have completely marked the room, number each drop and have a horizontal line for each drop.

6 / Now put a dust board or a large piece of hardboard on the floor, then roll out the vinyl material and cut it to the required length [including scrap], if possible, replace it with another length and use the top on the back Soft pencil number.

7. Now that you have marked all the rooms and numbered them, cut all the vinyls to length, number them sequentially, and lay them on your dust or cardboard with the back paper facing up and the top number 1 .

8. Now use a sponge sponge or preferably a spatula mop to wet the back of the 2-3 wall coverings and roll each wall covering into a tube.

9. Now affix the wall to the No. 1 part, use a brush to cut the slurry into the ceiling, corners, above the skirt, and roll about 6" above the horizontal mark.

10. Now take the No. 1 wall covering tube, spread it on the wall with a plastic spatula, expand it [not laterally], and trim the vinyl with a Stanley knife, top bottom and corners.

11. After trimming, wipe off any residual adhesive with a clean sponge, then remove the towel from any water kickboard to prevent water spots on the edges.

12. Now paste the 2nd wall and repeat. At this point you will need an overlapping joint that needs to be spliced ​​together [see joint cut]. Such a wall covering [joint cut] is hung around this room.

If you plan to leave the room and mark, number, all the walls and vinyl shards, then hang the wall cover in this way, you will find it easy and quick to hang a wide paper backing vinyl and get High quality results.

Joint cutting

There are two ways to splicing the cut wall.

1. A knife or joint cutter [as some retailers say]. The knife hooks on the two layers of the wall covering and pulls them away from the substrate as it cuts so that it does not score. Use a Stanley knife and a straight edge cut of the ceiling to connect to the wall about 3 inches, 1 inch from the top wall cover edge, then hook on the knife and cut the rest along the wall until you get more than 3 inches The skirt is finished again with a Stanley knife and straight edge.

2. Slide a piece of flexible plastic about 1 meter long [available from the wall covering company] under the joint, then cut the two covers from the edge, and use a Stanley knife to cut the edge straight and slide the plastic down to protect it. The substrate behind it.

This is how I hang the paper backing vinyl, just like the vinyl and burlap-backed vinyl, except for a few differences, they are exactly the same, just hang as described above, but remember these changes.

The fabric supports vinyl,

It is completely suspended like a paper-backed vinyl, except that it is not necessary to dampen the back of the vinyl, just roll it into the tube and stick it to the wet-bonded wall.

Be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions first.

Hessian supports Vinyl,

It is completely suspended like a vinyl on the back of the paper. Except that it is not necessary to dampen the back of the paper, just roll it into the tube and stick it to the wet-bonded wall. When it comes to joint cutting, cut it as long as possible, waiting for the connection. The vinyl sheet is set to the wall as it is, then it is pulled up and cut as described, and if necessary, more adhesive is applied under the connection.

In the case where heating may not be good, this may take most of the day, and if the connection is cut to an early stage, it may cause the joint to contract when it is completely discharged.

Always read the manufacturer's instructions first

I hope these painting techniques come in handy.
