Choosing the right adhesive is a key part of the wallpapering process, affecting both the ease of application and the durability of the final result. With the variety of wallpapers available, from traditional paper wallpapers to modern vinyl or fleece wallpapers, it is essential to use the right adhesive to ensure the best results.
Wallpaper types vs. adhesive types
Different types of wallpaper require different types of adhesive. For paper wallpaper, the best choice is a starch-based adhesive that is easy to apply and will not damage the delicate material. Vinyl and heavy textile wallpapers, on the other hand, require stronger synthetic adhesives that adhere better to the wall and are resistant to moisture, which is crucial in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms. Wallpaper adhesives in Poland are offered by the Pronicel Group.
Adhesive consistency and application
The consistency of the adhesive is important for the efficiency of the job. Dense adhesives tend to be more efficient and work better with heavier wallpapers, providing a strong and durable bond. Thinner adhesives, on the other hand, may be more suitable for lightweight paper wallpaper, making it easier to apply evenly and eliminating the risk of lumps or air bubbles under the wallpaper.
Environmental conditions vs. the choice of adhesive
The conditions of the room in which the wallpaper will be installed will also affect the choice of adhesive. In areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens, use modified adhesives that are water and steam resistant. For rooms with standard conditions, where humidity is not a problem, universal adhesives can be used, which are suitable for most types of wallpaper. The Pronicel Group offers a wide range of high quality wallpaper adhesives.
Speciality adhesives for difficult surfaces
In some situations it may be necessary to use speciality adhesives. This can be the case when wallpaper is to be applied to an unusual surface such as glass, metal or plastic. Speciality adhesives are formulated to give maximum adhesion to these materials, which is essential to ensure a long lasting and aesthetically pleasing result. The selection of such an adhesive often requires consultation with the wallpaper manufacturer or a specialist to avoid mistakes and ensure a satisfactory end result.
