Itself Wallpapering is simple, the problems begin, if the bar has a drawing that requires registration. There are several types of prints:

• monochromatic. Paintings without a picture or a pronounced pattern or texture. These wallpapers do not need to be fit, and therefore with them the easiest way to work;

If required glue application on the wallpaper, the strip edges are wrapped so that the fluff side should come in contact with each other, and locations of folds not smooth. This is to ensure that the fabric is well soaked and do not form air bubbles. If necessary, the adhesive is applied on the wall, which is greased portion slightly wider than the strip of wallpaper. Places near the floor, ceiling and corners profusely smeared adhesive.

Next, take the prepared strip of wallpaper and applying it to the starting line, do not forget to make a lap on the ceiling about 50 mm.
