Features of the selection and installation of GKL under wallpaper

Many people know or roughly represent the process of pasting wallpaper. Therefore, we will consider it strictly in the plane of working with drywall. First you need to choose the right GCR. Immediately make a reservation that the size of the sheet does not play any role for us. Such parameter as thickness affects only the place of use of GCR. For the ceiling, a material with a thickness of 9.5 mm is used, and for wall finishing its thickness is 12.5 mm.

  How to properly wallpaper on drywall If there is a question about how to properly wallpaper on drywall, then you must first choose the right GKL. For work on the ceiling, the ceiling type is chosen, the standard type is chosen for the walls. But for the kitchen or balcony you need to choose a moisture-resistant gypsum crater (it is green). This will help prevent mold and mildew due to high humidity.

When with drywall everything is clear, then you need to think about its installation. Wallpapering on drywall is done a little differently depending on the chosen method of its installation. Mounting is standard in two ways:

  1. On the frame. It is necessary for leveling the surface of walls and ceilings. Also with its help, boxes and niches are made. The frame is made of metal profile, and sheets of drywall are attached to it with self-tapping screws.
  2. Without frame. The method is used when the wall is less flat. The drywall sheets themselves are attached to the surface with glue.

The main difference for us between these two methods is the presence of screws. How to glue wallpaper on drywall in this case? First you need to tighten the screws so that the caps go deeper and do not stick out. Otherwise, the wallpaper will tear about them. Then the caps are puttied. This will protect the wallpaper from possible rust performance. Also, if the black caps are smeared with white putty, they will not show through the wallpaper.

Can I glue right away

Many are interested in whether it is possible to glue wallpaper on drywall immediately. In other words, as soon as the installation of the plasterboard is done, then we immediately carry out pasting. This can be done, but it is worth considering a few points:

  • With this method, you can not use white wallpaper. The color of the caps of the screws and the drywall itself will break through;
  • if you want to change the wallpaper will have to stick on them new or tear off the old along with the cardboard from the GKL;
  • chances are that wallpaper will not stick well due to the fact that the surface of the wall is not properly processed.

If the difficulties do not frighten, then you can glue immediately. If the problems that arise are critical, and you want to know how to properly glue the wallpaper on drywall, it is best to think about the preparatory processes.

Primer and putty joints

  How to properly wallpaper on drywall

The first stage of puttying walls - caps screws and sheet joints

When the installation of drywall is completed, it must be primed. Do I need to drywall plasterboard before sticking wallpaper? Definitely yes. This procedure helps to protect the surface from mold and mildew (you need to use an acrylic primer). Also, a layer of primer serves as an additional bond between the wall and the putty, which will be applied soon.

The primer needs to be bought in a look, ready for drawing. Beginners should avoid products, which means self-mixing to the desired consistency. In this process, it is easy to make a mistake, so you need a primer ready for application.

Primer drywall before glueing the wallpaper will be applied later, but now prepare the surface for putty. The primer is applied using a roller or brush, as it is more convenient. Roller work is carried out faster, and with a brush you can get to any place. Dries primer about a day. It depends on the temperature and humidity of the room, as well as the primer itself.

After drying, the primer is applied putty. First putty caps screws, if they were used for installation, and then the joints of the sheets. For this you need to use a finishing putty, as it is used for smooth surfaces. Do not buy starting putty, as it is used to align curved surfaces, which is not relevant in the case of the use of drywall.

Before you glue the wallpaper on the drywall, its joints need to be strengthened. To do this, putty is applied to the joints, and then serpyanka reinforcing stack. It is applied along the length of the joint and pressed. The putty will be squeezed out through small cells, and the mesh will firmly fasten. This procedure will help avoid future cracking. Now you need to leave the surface to dry before the next stage of work.

 

 

Puttying the entire surface and priming under the wallpaper

Roller with long handle accelerates priming process

The dried surface is completely puttied. Do I need to plaster drywall under the wallpaper? Yes, it is necessary, and this is done for two reasons.

  1. You need to know not only how to glue wallpaper on drywall, but also how to remove them. If the plasterboard is plastered, then the obi will then be removed as easily as with a regular wall. Otherwise there will be problems.
  2. Putty white (neutral color). This means that it will be possible, are not afraid of displaying wallpaper.

In the basis of putty for wallpaper should be plaster or cement. A polymer based solution may also be used. The material itself is usually sold in dry form, so it will have to be diluted with water to the desired consistency. So you need a construction mixer or you have to mix everything for a long time with a spatula. Lumps in the mixture should not be, because plastering plasterboard under the wallpaper in this case will not work qualitatively. Putty is applied with a thin and even layer of 1-2 mm. After that she is allowed to dry.

For work use several spatulas of different sizes. With a fine spatula, the solution is usually put on a large spatula, with which the mixture is smeared on the wall.

Before you use a primer for drywall under the wallpaper, you need to sand the floor. Sandpaper surface is cleaned to become smooth. Removed all the bumps that were created by putty. If the plasterboard plaster under the wallpaper done poorly, then the irregularities will be many. In this case, it makes sense to start working with large sandpaper, and therefore already use fine sandpaper. After that, you will need to walk with a damp cloth to remove all the dust from the surface.

Now the question arises, what primer drywall before glueing wallpaper? You can resort to the classic version, which is available to all. You can buy Ceresit ct 17 or a similar primer. The primer is applied in two layers with drying the first layer before applying the second. Again, a roller or brush is used. The primer coating will improve the adhesion of wallpaper paste to the wall.

 

The process of pasting wallpaper drywall

After all the above work is done, the time comes for the most important thing. With how to glue wallpaper on drywall should not arise difficulties if you are familiar with this process. Works are now no different from similar cases. The main cast is only that with the help of the GCR was created a smooth and straight surface. If the ceiling was also aligned, then there should be no problems at all. In particular, the difference in height and inclination of the walls in the apartment caused a lot of inconvenience. But suspended ceilings and a drywall wall framework relieve such a problem.

There is nothing special about how to glue wallpaper on drywall to the ceiling. This procedure is no different from those cases when the ceiling without drywall.

Wallpaper glue consumption per 1 sq.m.

  1. The choice of wallpaper. It is necessary to calculate how many meters of material needed, after which it will be possible to calculate the number of rolls needed. Roll width can be either half a meter or meter. You should always take with a margin, because if the material is not enough, then the store may not have copies from the same batch. If the wallpaper with a pattern, then they will need more, because you have to pick up the picture, which means throwing out a significant amount of material.
  2. Selection of glue. Sticker wallpaper on drywall requires the use of high-quality glue. But it all depends on the wallpaper itself. In one case, you will need glue that is applied to the wallpaper and on the wall, in another case, the glue will be applied to the wallpaper itself. When selecting more expensive products, the glue can be applied only to the wall, which will greatly simplify all the work. For each type of wallpaper uses its own type of glue.
  3. Cutting wallpaper. They need to be cut into strips with a margin of 10 cm in length. Surpluses are then trimmed.
  4. Pasting drywall wallpaper. The first sheet is glued from the window slope. Glue to start on top, gradually smoothing the sheet down. For smoothing use a cloth or spatula with a width not less than the roll. As a result of this process, air and excess glue is removed from the wall.

As it was said, there is nothing complicated and special in the pasting process itself, and all the trouble is in the preparatory work.

Often the question arises, how to glue the drywall niche wallpaper. The same problem can occur when you need to paste over a drywall box with wallpaper. In both cases, the question comes down to how the pasting of the inner and outer corners is carried out. There are various methods to solve this problem. But in the case of drywall, we know for sure that all angles are equal and are 90 degrees.

Roll sheet can simply be wrapped around the corner. If it bends poorly, you can moisten it with a wet cloth. With internal corners do the same way.
