1. Wallpaper Made of Paper
Paper-based wallpaper usually consists of two layers of paper. The outer layer is embossed and printed in color. The inner layer serves as a supporting material and, during renovation, it remains on the wall surface after the outer layer has been removed (for quality products that allow such separation).
2. Structured (Relief) Wallpaper
A paste with dye is applied to the supporting material of structured wallpaper. Thus, light and shadow creates an interesting three-dimensional effect on the outer surface profile.
Most structured wallpaper can be washed and is insensitive to light. When being removed from the wall, its outer layer peels off which facilitates later renovation.
3. Vinyl Wallpaper
This wallpaper consists of a supporting material that is firmly bound to the vinyl layer. The front side is printed, smooth or embossed. Vinyl wallpaper is used particularly in areas that require exceptionally robust surfaces.
4. Non-woven Wallpaper
The supporting paper layer of non-woven wallpaper is replaced by a special fleece. Suppliers offer non-woven wallpaper both in a finished version and in one that must be painted after it has been hung to the wall.
Non-woven wallpaper is quite simple to hang. Paste is applied directly to the wall surface instead of the reverse side of the wallpaper. The wallpaper is laid directly into the bed of paste without observing a soaking time. It is dimensionally stable because of the non-woven carrier and therefore soaking time is no longer required.
Wallpaper with a base also covers small cracks on the wall surface. When renovating, it can be completely stripped off the wall. |
