As you know, non-woven fabric keeps its shape perfectly, therefore, non-woven wallpaper does not deform during pasting and does not warp in operation. It is these wallpapers that are usually used in new buildings, the walls of which shrink over time. In addition, non-woven wallpaper perfectly hide the bumps and cracks in the wall.

Comparison of wallpapers, their advantages and disadvantages

Paper canvases

Paper options are among the most commonly used and sought after on the market today. This is because they are affordable, beautiful and easy to care for.
Among the main advantages of paper wallpaper are:

environmental friendliness;
increasing sound insulation and thermal conductivity of walls;
affordable price;
ease of sticking.

One of the serious drawbacks of paper wallpapers is their fragility - they serve no more than ten years, after which they begin to lose their original appearance and beauty. Another disadvantage is that they are erased. After some time, you can notice that scuffs appeared near the switches and sockets.

The disadvantages also include the low light resistance of the paper web. For example, the walls of a room where the sun's rays fall become light and ugly: the drawings burn out, and spots appear in their place.

Vinyl coverings

Unlike paper wallpaper, vinyl counterparts have a number of advantages and almost no disadvantages. Such coatings appeared on the mass market relatively recently. Previously, they were used to decorate luxury apartments and shops. The wild popularity of vinyl sheets is ensured by the fact that they can imitate a huge number of materials.

The main advantages of vinyl:

attractive appearance. Vinyl wallpapers are available in a variety color schemes, so each person can choose the shade that best suits his home. They can imitate materials such as textiles, stone, plaster, etc.;
durability - do not lose their attractive appearance for a long time;
waterproof, which allows you to use them in the kitchen or in the bathroom;
resistance to sunbeams;
elasticity and resistance to mechanical stress.

Vinyl coverings are very diverse and can imitate mosaics, tiles, stone and many other finishing materials.

There are several types on the market today. vinyl wallpaper:

One of the most popular is a coating known as "foamed vinyl". It has a low density and cannot boast of impressive moisture resistance. However, such wallpapers are breathable and can help hide minor wall defects.
Silkscreen - is considered the most attractive and acceptable option for wall decoration. Such coatings harmoniously combine reasonable cost, attractiveness and durability.
Smooth vinyl - has become widespread in the decoration of the kitchen. Such wallpapers very often imitate other materials. They are not picky in care and are easy to glue.
Hard vinyl is a modern, innovative coating that is resistant to moisture, but at the same time breathable. They do an excellent job with any mechanical damage.

Vinyl wallpapers are not afraid of water and are easy to clean, so they are most often used to finish the kitchen, hallway and bathroom.

A significant disadvantage of vinyl wallpaper is that they emit toxic substances. Therefore, it is not recommended to use them in children's rooms.

Non-woven materials

Non-woven wallpapers are developed on a non-woven basis, which includes cellulose fibers and a binder in the form of a polymer. As a result, the product is characterized by impressive strength and durability.

There are many options for such a coating on the market, so you need to decide which wallpaper is called non-woven. It is correct to call so only those coatings that are made exclusively from this material. But the non-woven wallpaper consists of several layers. The second layer is usually vinyl or paper.

Non-woven fabrics consist of several layers, where top coat can be either non-woven or paper, fabric or vinyl

environmental friendliness and safety - they do not emit any toxic substances, therefore they can be used even in a children's room;

If the room is on the sunny side, then it is better to give preference to cold shades.

Thus, from the point of view of environmental friendliness, strength and durability, non-woven wallpaper is more preferable. The only difference is that they are not as affordable as vinyl or paper.

Apartment renovation is a whole stage in a person's life. Receipt new apartment or a desire to freshen things up, it doesn't matter. In any case, the project of a new interior is built in the head. An important stage is the decoration of the walls. What to "dress" the room? The most common material for wall decoration is wallpaper. Often the question arises which wallpaper is better. Let's analyze two options - paper and non-woven, or rather, on a paper and non-woven basis. Let's find out what their differences and similarities are.

Advantages of paper wallpaper

Paper wallpaper - the most profitable, economical way change the look of your room. Attracts their price, a wide selection of ornaments, textures, quality.

Single-layer wallpaper (simplex) - simple paper wallpaper of various colors, can be impregnated with a composition that prevents fading. Multilayer wallpaper (duplex) - stronger and more practical than simple wallpaper. In these wallpapers, each layer is impregnated with a water- and light-resistant solution.

Advantages of non-woven wallpaper

To begin with, let's analyze what non-woven wallpaper is and what non-woven wallpaper is. This is a non-woven material that consists of textile or paper fibers interconnected by a binder. Many women probably used it when sewing trousers, skirts, blouses. This material holds its shape well and is absolutely harmless. In environmental friendliness, there is no difference between paper and non-woven wallpaper.

How to glue paper and non-woven wallpaper

Before pasting the walls with paper wallpaper, it is necessary to level the walls from small scratches, bumps, bumps. The wallpaper is too thin and, when pasted, all surface roughness is visible. When working with a non-woven-based coating, the walls are also leveled, but small irregularities can be omitted, since this type of wallpaper hides poor-quality putty, small shells of the pasted surface quite well. This is the first difference between paper and vinyl wallpaper.

Let's get to the important part. Wall pasting technology has a difference between paper and non-woven wallpaper. Using the first type of wallpaper, it is necessary to glue the canvas itself with glue, let the wallpaper soak and stick it on the wall. Pasting should be done very carefully, impregnated paper tends to tear in the most unpredictable places. The second thing to look out for is bubbles. It is also extremely difficult to deal with them, since there is a possibility of violating the integrity of the canvas. Paper wallpapers are glued end-to-end. But, when wet, the paper stretches and after pasting, when dried, it shrinks and, as a result, gaps in the seams, bursting coating sheets. Using the second type of wallpaper, when pasting surfaces with glue, we smear the wall, ceiling, etc. with a special glue for heavy wallpaper, and then apply a dry sheet of the roll. These wallpapers are glued end-to-end, without fear that the wallpaper will peel off, warp, burst.

Where to glue paper and non-woven wallpaper

Both of these can be glued in rooms. When choosing, consider the following differences between paper wallpaper and non-woven wallpaper. In the hallways, a non-woven version is preferable (the possibility of wet cleaning). Kitchen, bath, rooms with high humidity - you should also use non-woven wallpaper ( simple wallpaper bulge and move away from the surface). But in the nursery, you can use any kind. Dust does not settle on paper, which is important for the health of our children. But, do not forget that almost all the guys are young artists and you can’t get rid of drawings on paper, and non-woven ones can be quickly repainted in a different color. Both are important for children. Having considered key points wallpaper of various structures, let's summarize.

The difference between paper wallpaper and non-woven:

The qualities that these types of wallpaper have in common are safety, environmental friendliness, breathability (the ability of the wallpaper to "breathe"), easy installation and dismantling.

The moments of difference between non-woven wallpaper and paper wallpapers are the service life (for paper ones, the period is shorter), moisture resistance, the possibility of wet cleaning, the possibility of repeated painting, when wet, they do not lose their shape and strength, a relatively high price.
