Pure paper wallpaper is a kind of wallpaper, which is more common in home decoration. The patterns of pure paper wallpaper are mostly made of printing technology, so they are realistic and the colors are natural and generous. Let’s take a look at it together.

Types of pure paper wallpapers

According to the material of pure paper wallpapers, there are two main types of pure paper wallpapers on the market:

1. Virgin wood pulp paper:

Made of virgin wood pulp as raw material, beaten and shaped, with printing on the surface. This type of wallpaper has relatively good toughness, relatively smooth surface, and a specific gravity per square meter It is relatively heavy, and because it uses virgin wood pulp as its raw material, its environmental performance is very prominent.

2. Recycled paper:

This type of pure paper wallpaper is made from recyclable materials and is beaten, filtered and purified. The toughness of this type of paper is relatively high Weak, the surface is mostly foamed or semi-foamed, and the specific gravity per square meter is relatively light. Naturally, its price is much cheaper than virgin wood pulp paper.

Advantages and disadvantages of pure paper wallpaper

Advantages:

1. It has strong shrinkage. During construction, it is recommended to use fast drying and stronger pasting speed. Adhesive will cause seam problems after one side is laid

2. Because the wallpaper is made of pulp. Therefore, environmental protection is the most obvious feature. Most of the wallpaper patterns adopt printing technology, so they are realistic and the colors are natural and generous.

Disadvantages:

1. Because it is a paper material, it is not resistant to water or scrubbing, so the construction is relatively difficult, and seams are likely to occur if it is not operated properly.

2. However, the pure paper wallpapers currently on the market are mainly imported from the United States. The surface has been waterproofed and can withstand wiping with a normal wet cloth. In addition, pure paper wallpapers are divided into different grades due to different levels of pulp. grade.

Key points in the construction of pure paper wallpaper

Since pure paper wallpaper is relatively "delicate", there are many details that need to be paid attention to during the paving and construction process. Only in this way can we ensure that it will be smooth after paving. The decorative properties of wallpaper are more prominent.

1. Trim your nails before laying wallpaper to prevent scratching the surface of the pure paper. If you accidentally scratch the surface of the pure paper wallpaper, it cannot be repaired.

2. Before laying the wallpaper, you must prepare the tools that will be used during the wallpaper laying process. The tools generally use brushes, pressure wheels, and scrapers. The scrapers must be used before use. Polish, because the scraper will have knife marks after use, and the knife marks can easily scratch the pure paper.

3. Before laying pure paper wallpaper, be sure to choose its special glue or glutinous rice glue. Do not use glue powder glue, otherwise the final laying process will not reach the level of the special glue. , which will naturally affect the decorativeness and service life of the wallpaper.

4. It should be noted that when the pure paper wallpaper is laid with glue, the paper gluing method is used, and the glue is applied and folded in half, and then rolled and glued (the pure paper has creases, so fold it in half Roll it up at once), the paper should be aligned when folding in half. If not, the exposed part will dry easily, and the paper will not be able to unfold once it dries.

5. Since pure paper will swell when exposed to water and shrink after drying, seams will easily appear after pure paper construction. Therefore, when laying pure paper wallpaper, it is necessary to apply thick and thin glue. And the glue time can be longer to allow the wallpaper to fully absorb water and expand. When part of the water is absorbed by the paper and part evaporates, the pure paper has slowly begun to shrink. At this time, it is most ideal to carry out wall construction, which can reduce or avoid showing seams. Phenomenon.

6. After the wallpaper is laid, do not open windows for 3-5 days and do not turn on the air conditioner for half a month. Ensure that the wallpaper dries naturally in the shade, so as to ensure that the wallpaper will not appear during subsequent use. The phenomenon of lifting or curling ensures its service life is longer.
