Which one decorative coating Is it popular among domestic buyers today? There are dozens of varieties of finishing materials on the market, among which we can highlight:
- traditional paper, vinyl, fleece and fabric wallpapers;
- paint for interior works;
- decorative plaster;
- liquid wallpaper and so on.
As for traditional wallpaper, everything is more or less clear with this material. Practically every one of us faced the need to self-glue or help in pasting rooms with rolls of wallpaper.
There is not much pleasantness in this activity: it is necessary to prepare the walls, dilute the glue, use an additional primer, carefully measure and cut the necessary pieces of the roll, join the edges and combine the drawings. This work is long, painstaking and difficult, so many have chosen alternative options.
Venetian plaster
Decorative or "Venetian" plaster, which you can order and buy inexpensively at any hardware store, is becoming more and more popular as an alternative to painted walls or wallpaper. It has a stylish and luxurious appearance, is characterized by good strength and durability, which makes it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial premises.
But how easy is it to maintain its original ideal appearance? In fact, taking care of decorative plaster is quite simple and will not require you to spend a lot of time and effort. Here are some tips and recommendations that will help preserve the coating for many years.
Caution during care and cleaning
Decorative plaster has a beautiful appearance, very similar to marble, for example. This means that it gives your interior or exterior a more stylish and luxurious look than ordinary paint or wallpaper. Since its appearance is due to natural properties, it also retains its shape much longer than other wall coverings, with minimal maintenance or cleaning.
However, from time to time you may need to improve the appearance of your decorative plaster and remove any spots that appear. It is worth understanding that this material is quite durable, but at the same time, it requires special delicacy when handling.
Cleaning should always be carried out carefully, with sensitivity to the surface. We recommend using a mild soapy detergent with a damp cotton cloth to wipe the walls, or a microfiber cloth to wipe the dust. This will help restore the lost shine.
Use additional surface protection
Most walls made of Venetian plaster are covered with a special waterproof wax. This greatly simplifies the daily care of such coatings. Before starting to clean the decorative plaster, it is important to check whether there is an additional coating.
If it is not there, then the material can absorb water, so cleaning and maintenance are difficult. In such cases, we would advise you to consult a specialist in decorative plaster before carrying out any procedures with the coating.
Ordinary non-aggressive household chemicals can be used to care for decorative plaster. Avoid the use of powders, scrapers, metal meshes and other abrasives that can scratch the surface.
Decorative plaster is a strong and durable surface, but in some cases scratches or cracks may appear on it. Unlike many other covered walls, this option is surprisingly easy to repair. This is due to the fact that it is applied in layers, so it is easy to recreate a smooth appearance without re-plastering the entire wall.
Liquid wallpaper
Similar wall covering is a new effective way to add effectiveness, style and original texture to surfaces in your home or workplace. Liquid wallpaper is a highly sought-after alternative to traditional wall painting or pasting walls with wallpaper.
They are made from 100% natural ingredients and are presented in a wide variety of beautiful colors and fine textures, which provides an impeccable design finish. The unique texture and silky components help to create a spectacular finish, giving any space a beautiful appearance and unique style.
Liquid wallpapers are quickly and easily applied, requiring minimal preparation time and effort. When applied in one layer, deep grooves, as well as cracks, dents and any other surface defects are easily hidden. Similar materials for wall cladding are flexible and elastic, have additional sound and heat-insulating properties.
In addition, the wallpaper is 100% natural, with zero content of volatile organic compounds (an ecological product) and hypoallergenic properties. Liquid wall covering is made of natural fibers, including:
- silk;
- cotton;
- cellulose;
- mineral compounds;
- colored quartz and other natural decorative additives.
The binding agent is a cellulose-based glue. All components are natural and environmentally friendly, which makes the material preferable and safe for residential and commercial buildings.
