For many years, wallpapering has been extremely popular among various wall finishing methods. However, choosing your dream pattern is not enough to make the wall look beautiful and the effect of the wallpaper adhering to the wall lasting for many years. To maximize the time during which the wallpaper will decorate a given room, it should be placed securely and the correct glue should be used.

Type of wallpaper and glue

Wallpaper manufacturers offer a very diverse selection of wallpapers, which differ from each other, among other things, in their external layer. Therefore, the first aspect that should be taken into account when choosing the right glue for gluing wallpaper is the material from which it is made. Therefore, there are adhesives that work best with the properties of a given material, i.e. adhesives for wallpapers: vinyl, paper, latex, non-woven, as well as those made of fiberglass, etc.

There are also universal adhesives available on the market that work properly with many types of wallpaper, e.g. those that can be used to glue vinyl and paper wallpaper. When choosing the right glue for wallpaper, it is also worth paying attention to its thickness and hardness, because the thicker and harder they are, the thicker the glue should be used to glue them.

What is worth paying attention to?

Once you have selected the glue for the appropriate wallpaper, it is also worth paying attention to its properties described by the manufacturer on the packaging. This is especially useful when determining the capacity we should choose, because the description usually includes tips on its consumption. Additionally, it is worth carefully estimating the surface that will be wallpapered and properly planning the time required for a given adhesive to prepare it for application.

In some cases, adhesives also differ in their drying and setting times, which is also worth paying attention to. If we plan to remove wallpaper dryly in the future, e.g. when renovating the walls at home, be sure to check whether the product we have chosen does not make it impossible. The last aspect that should be taken into account is the composition of the glue and, consequently, its quality. High-quality wallpaper adhesives should ensure perfect adhesion and help obtain a perfectly smooth wallpaper surface. Their use also allows you to enjoy a long-lasting effect on the walls and no need to make constant corrections.
