1. Wallpaper classification and introduction

According to appearance: printed wallpaper, embossed wallpaper, foam (relief) wallpaper, printed embossed wallpaper, embossed foam wallpaper, There are seven types of printed foam wallpaper and printed foam wallpaper. It can be seen that there are three basic decorative techniques on the surface of wallpaper: printing, embossing and foaming. Their different combinations form the above seven different appearances.

According to function: there are decorative wallpapers, waterproof wallpapers, fireproof wallpapers and other types. Among them, decorative wallpaper is the most widely used, while waterproof wallpaper and fireproof wallpaper are used in places with special functional requirements.

According to the construction method: there are two categories: ready-mounted wallpaper and adhesive-backed wallpaper. Current-mounted wallpaper is currently commonly used wallpaper that can only be mounted after applying adhesive on site. Adhesive-backed wallpaper, also known as base-less wallpaper, consists of PVC printing film, pressure-sensitive adhesive, and release paper. When used, there is no need to apply adhesive on site. You only need to tear off the release paper to paste it on the wall.

According to the surface material

1) Paper-based wallpaper: also called composite wallpaper, the surface paper and bottom paper are glued and pressed into one, and now it is It is produced by printing, embossing, coating and other processes. Composite wallpaper has good permeability and is cheap. However, because its base layer and surface layer are both made of paper, it is not water-resistant, easy to break, inconvenient to construct, and is not easy to clean after being pasted.

2) Fabric wallpaper: The surface layer is made of fabrics such as cloth, chemical fiber, linen, silk, silk, silk, satin, woolen or thin felt. It is soft, comfortable and has a sense of elegance. Some silk, silk Fabrics look beautiful due to the reflective effect of their fibers, but such wallpapers are relatively expensive.

3) Natural material wallpaper: Made of natural materials such as grass, hemp, wood, leaves, etc., dried and pressed onto the paper base. It has a strong local flavor and is natural and simple. However, its durability and fire resistance are poor, and it is not suitable for use in places with large flow of people.

4) PVC wallpaper: Its surface layer mainly uses polyvinyl chloride resin, so it is also called PVC wallpaper. There are three types of plastic wallpaper.

① Ordinary type - based on 80g/m2 paper and coated with 100g/m2 PVC resin on the surface. The surface decoration method is usually printing, embossing or a combination of printing and embossing. .

②Foam type----100g/m2 paper is the paper base, and the surface is coated with 300-400g/m2 PVC resin. According to the foaming ratio, there are low foaming and high foaming. Among them, the elastic concave-convex pattern on the surface layer of high-foaming wallpaper has a certain sound absorption effect. Low foaming wallpaper usually has a print on its surface. There is also a kind of chemical relief wallpaper, which is printed with ink that can inhibit foaming and then foamed to form concave and convex patterns and patterns with different colors.

③Functional type --- Among them, water-resistant wallpaper uses glass fiber cloth as the base material, which can be used to decorate the walls of toilets and bathrooms; fire-resistant wallpaper uses 100-200g/m2 asbestos paper as the base material material, and incorporate flame retardants into PVC surface materials.

5) Sand wallpaper: For example, spread colored sand on the surface of the base material, and then spray adhesive. This type of wallpaper has poor stain resistance and easy cleaning.

6) Metallic wallpaper: The surface layer of this kind of wallpaper is made of copper foil to imitate gold and aluminum foil to imitate silver, which has a bright effect. The thickness of metal foil is 0.006-0.025mm. It is usually used as "top paper" on the ceiling surface, or on the walls of dance halls, cafes, and bars.

●Adhesive wallpaper and pure paper wallpaper

Adhesive wallpaper refers to the wallpaper whose surface is made of PVC material. This is the most common type of wallpaper. The surface texture of this wallpaper is relatively thick. It has a strong concave and convex feel and is resistant to scrubbing; pure paper wallpaper is a pure printing product with bright colors and beautiful patterns. It is a very popular wallpaper in Europe in recent years.

●Wallpaper and wall covering

The difference between wallpaper and wall covering is that the base of wallpaper is paper base, while the base of wall covering is cloth base, and the embossing on the surface of both , the coating is exactly the same. Wall coverings have higher fastness, strong impact resistance, and long service life. However, the variety of designs and colors is much smaller than that of wallpapers, and most of the wall coverings are large sizes. Compared with home decoration, the loss is difficult to control. In general engineering Used more often.

The feel of non-woven paper is very important. A soft and delicate feel indicates a higher density. On the contrary, a hard and rough one will have a lower density. Good flexibility and difficulty in breaking indicate good quality. Otherwise, it indicates poor quality. With the permission of the merchant, consumers can try to see whether the dirt on the surface of the wallpaper is easy to clean. Dirt on better-quality wallpaper can be easily removed with a wet or dry rag.

4. Cleaning and maintenance of wallpaper -

Wallpaper has One advantage that differs from other interior decoration materials is that wallpaper is very convenient for daily use and maintenance, it can be washed and wiped, and there are no other special requirements. In terms of maintenance, attention should be paid to keeping the indoor environment dry.

Careful maintenance is the key to extending the life of wallpaper and wall coverings. Maintenance includes pre-paving and post-paving maintenance.

Before construction: When laying wallpaper and wall coverings, the relative humidity of the air should be below 85%, and the temperature should not change drastically. Construction must be avoided in humid seasons and on humid walls. If you want the wallpaper to be beautiful, durable, and not prone to blistering and warping, it is very important to treat the wall surface before construction. The wall surface to be wallpapered must be smooth, dry, and free of dirt and dust. Before laying wallpaper, we recommend applying a layer of polyester paint on the wall to prevent moisture and mildew.

During construction: The adhesive liquid that overflows when pasting wallpaper and wall coverings should be wiped clean with a clean towel at any time, especially the glue marks at the seams should be cleaned. Construction workers are required to keep their hands and tools highly clean. If they are stained, they should be cleaned with soapy water or detergent in time.

After construction: After paving, doors and windows should be opened during the day to maintain ventilation; doors and windows should be closed at night to prevent moisture from entering, and at the same time, prevent the wallpaper just pasted on the wall from being blown loose by the wind, thus affecting the adhesion. degree of firmness. Vacuum and clean wallpaper and wall coverings regularly, and be sure to replace the suction head of the vacuum cleaner. Special dirt should be wiped off in time if special stains are found in daily life. Water-resistant wallpaper such as Auchan wallpaper can be scrubbed with water, and then dried with a dry towel. For water-resistant wall coverings such as Haijibu wall coverings, wipe them with an eraser, or dip them in a towel. Wring out some cleaning fluid and wipe lightly.

Usually pay attention to prevent hard objects from hitting or rubbing wallpaper and wall coverings. If the seams crack in some places, they must be subsidized in time and cannot be allowed to develop.

Wallpaper cleaning tips

1. Use a vacuum cleaner to fully vacuum;

2. Dilute the detergent or inject it into a sprayer;

3. Spray the detergent all over the wallpaper;

4. After 10-15 minutes of action, the stains will be separated from the fibers;
