Each of these types is applicable in complex rooms such as a hallway or kitchen and is ready to serve you for some time, this time we will try to talk more about non-woven wallpaper.

By the theme of the picture, it becomes clear for which room this wallpaper was created

Non-woven wallpaper for the kitchen

Modern technologies allow to obtain high-quality materials, one of which is non-woven. Flizelin is a mixture of cellulose and fabric fibers, resulting in a strong and durable material.

If you use fibers of natural fabric in production, the material comes out environmentally friendly.

Non-woven wallpaper is actively used in most complex, heavily soiled rooms, as it has high wear resistance, strength and other useful qualities. Following the modern trends of fashion and style, as well as adhering to the basic requirements, a person involuntarily selects wallpaper from non-woven fabric, since this option is optimal for him.

Wallpaper imitating an old wooden lining

In addition to fully non-woven wallpaper, options are quite common, where non-woven acts as a substrate, which wallpaper is attached to the wall, and the upper decorative layer is made of another material. Most often, vinyl becomes this other material, which is tightly attached by presses and glue to the non-woven backing.

We have been familiar with vinyl for a long time and are ready to speak with confidence about its positive qualities, and together with non-woven they simply form a nuclear mixture.

Small repeating kitchen wallpaper

Here is a short list of the main advantages of such a symbiosis of materials - vinyl wallpaper on a non-woven backing:

The vinyl coating is very resistant to fading, the color adheres to the wallpaper so well that it is not wiped with regular washing and exposure to sunlight.
The complex of materials that make up the non-woven wallpaper makes the wallpaper thick and tough, the non-woven wallpaper easily adheres to the walls and hides a huge number of small defects, since the wallpaper is very durable.
The effect of various temperatures on non-woven wallpaper is minimal, they easily withstand the hot atmosphere of the kitchen or the cold entrance hall.
The texture of vinyl on non-woven allows you to damp sound vibrations.

The vinyl decorative layer has a high-quality and beautiful texture and can imitate natural finishing materials.
Easy to use and easy to glue, non-woven fabric does not absorb moisture, as a result, the adhesive is applied exclusively to the wall, which greatly facilitates the whole range of works, you can even carry them out yourself.
Long term of operation, wallpaper retains its original appearance for a long time.

Simple and comfortable kitchen

Taking into account the wide list of positive qualities of non-woven vinyl wallcoverings, it is safe to say that the choice of this option for wall covering for the kitchen interior is very reasonable and correct.

Colored wallpapers highlighting the place of application

The disadvantages of vinyl are not so obvious, but they, of course, are also present. We will not hide them and also write:

not all vinyl producers are distinguished by quality and environmental friendliness, some factories neglect these properties, so there was a general negative opinion about the environmental cleanliness of vinyl,
if non-woven wallpaper for painting can be repainted up to 10 times, then vinyl does not hold paint well and is not suitable for painting.

Non-woven wallpaper for painting for the kitchen

They also release wallpaper completely from non-woven fabric, for the most part they are painted, because they do not have good decorative qualities. In addition, non-woven is not able to repeat most of the qualities of vinyl.

Non-woven wallpaper for painting is also great for sticking in the kitchen, but after sticking they will need to be painted. Having painted the wallpaper with paint, you will give them greater moisture resistance, wear resistance and decorativeness.

For such an interior, wallpaper is extremely difficult to pick up, so painting canvases are used.

Paint the wallpaper with acrylic and water-dispersion paints, choose a composition marked: “washable”, “moisture resistant”, this type of paint has water-repellent properties and allows regular wet cleaning.

Subsequently, during use, the painted surface will be damaged and lose.
initial appearance. There is nothing wrong with this, it will be enough to update the paint layer, and your kitchen will sparkle with new colors.

It is recommended to paint non-woven wallpaper for the kitchen no more than 10 times, in the future it is easier to replace them.

If you are still in doubt - help for the buyer

The advantages of non-woven wallpaper (hereinafter FD) and comparisons with other types of wallpaper:

The main plus: unlike all varieties of paper-based vinyl wallpapers, FDs “breathe”, which means that fungus and mold cannot form under them.

however, there is one caveat - standard non-woven vinyl wallpapers also do not “breathe” due to the top vinyl layer, but you can buy so-called “solid” vinyl wallpapers that “breathe”, wash, and look beautiful.

Non-woven vinyl wallpaper can last up to 15 years in excellent condition without tarnishing from ultraviolet radiation.

All FDs are moisture-resistant and can be wiped with a moderately damp cloth without the use of aggressive household chemicals, but the washable types of DF are moisture-repellent, which means they are not afraid of washing with a damp cloth with slightly alkaline solutions.
Flizelin, unlike vinyl, does not smell.
And unlike the paper base - it does not stretch from the glue in the process of gluing, so it will be easy to dock the drawing.

Before gluing non-woven wallpaper, the wall does not need to be brought to an ideal state - due to its density and relief, FDs hide small defects like tubercles or cracks up to 2 mm.
Pasting with non-woven wallpaper does not require the application of glue both on the canvas and on the wall - it is enough to apply it only on the wall, which means that there will be less dirt and glue consumption.
FD perfectly tolerate temperature extremes and high humidity.
Wallpaper for painting can transfer 8-10 cycles of coloring, that is, if you wish, you can easily update the walls of your kitchen.
Flizelin, unlike paper, is fireproof.
And FD have soundproof properties.

So, we counted 11 advantages, but there are still disadvantages to the FD:

non-woven wallpaper for painting, due to its relief, accumulate dust, so periodically they need to be wiped or vacuumed,
in addition, the upper relief layer is subject to mechanical damage, that is, scratches and dents may remain on the coating,
cheap FD can give off formaldehyde, so it’s best not to save on this issue.

Relief FOs better hide the unevenness of the walls, in addition - they are denser and stronger than smooth ones,
Quality DOFs should not smell like acetone and have an oily surface,
Be sure to buy FD from only one batch (the number is indicated on the package). Even if in the store it seems to you that the "multi-party" wallpapers are exactly the same, believe me, on the wall the difference in semitones will be noticeable. The difference in shades of the same wallpaper from different parties is not a marriage, but a feature of production,
Glue for non-woven wallpaper should be moisture resistant and high-quality (not contain starch and PVA) and better with a color indicator.
The consultant will help you calculate the consumption of rolls, you only need to measure the height of the ceilings and the perimeter of the kitchen in advance, taking into account the protrusions and niches, while the dimensions of windows, doors and a standing kitchen set do not need to be subtracted - all the excess will come in handy as a reserve.

And now let's move on to practice, that is, to gluing non-woven wallpaper with your own hands.

How to glue non-woven wallpaper - step by step instructions

Before gluing non-woven wallpaper, you need to find a partner and prepare the following tools and materials:

glue for non-woven wallpaper and containers for its dilution,
measuring tools: plumb and level, tape measure, marker for marking,

wide paint brush for glue,
sponges and clean rags for cleaning, scissors, cutter, stepladder.

Important! Some DOFs may be translucent. Attach one canvas to the wall and make sure that the base is not visible from under it. If you see a wall through the wallpaper, then you need to paint the wall. Only after the paint dries, wallpapering on a non-woven basis is carried out.

Rules for painting non-woven

Before painting, it is worthwhile to dry clean the wallpaper, get rid of dust and other small debris.

If you are going to use a roller when painting, then you should take care of the bath for it, if the brush, then you can paint from a can. With high-quality painting of the room, combine both working tools.

It is easy to tint paint in the container of paint.

Hard-to-reach spots are easier to paint with a brush, and the overall flat surface with a roller, however, to use the roller, some skill is needed.

For wallpaper for painting, very contrasting color combinations are often chosen

It is rare that one coat of paint will be enough, most often double painting is needed. The second time we paint after a few hours, you need to wait until the first layer is completely dry.

In order to paint non-woven wallpaper, a roller with a foam coat is perfect, it will not damage the surface of the wallpaper and paint over the entire texture. It is believed that it leaves bubbles, but in our case this should not happen.

Also, for painting wallpaper, a roller made of fabric without a seam, with a long pile, which leaves no residue when stained.

Naturally, it is necessary to give preference to precisely those types of non-woven wallpaper that, if necessary, can be coated repeatedly.
It is very important to choose the density of non-woven wallpaper for the kitchen. After all, this indicator is closely related to their strength, which means with the durability of the finishing material of the walls. And this is quite natural, because the higher the density indicator of such wallpapers, the fewer different pores will be present in their structure, which means that fat and dirt will stick less.
