How liquid wallpaper hides irregularities and cracks

Why is the problem of cracks and irregularities relevant

During renovation, apartment and house owners often face the same problem - uneven walls, small cracks and surface defects. Ordinary wallpaper or paint requires a perfectly leveled base, because even the smallest pothole becomes noticeable. For this, you have to spend time and money on puttying and sanding. But there is a simpler solution - liquid wallpaper, which allows you to mask most defects without complex preparation.

What is liquid wallpaper and how does it work

Liquid wallpaper is a modern decorative coating that consists of:

• cellulose and polyester fibers;
• adhesive base;
• decorative additives (glitter, natural minerals).

After application, the mixture forms a seamless coating that resembles textiles. Thanks to its structure, the material fills minor cracks and makes the walls visually smooth.

Elasticity is the main advantage

One of the main problems of paint is that it requires a perfectly prepared wall. Any crack or pothole becomes apparent immediately after gluing. On the contrary, liquid wallpaper works differently: it lays down in an elastic layer, repeating the geometry of the surface, but at the same time masking its flaws. Even if there are small irregularities on the wall, after drying the material creates an even and attractive coating. This is especially true for old houses, where the walls often "live their own lives" and small cracks appear again and again.

The elasticity of liquid wallpaper allows them to adapt to the movement of the base. If a new microcrack forms on the surface, the material does not crumble or peel off, but stretches with it, remaining intact. Thus, the coating continues to look attractive even several years after the repair.

Layer thickness and defect masking

It is also worth mentioning the thickness of the layer formed by liquid wallpaper. Depending on the composition and method of application, it can reach up to 1.5 millimeters. It is this layer that allows you to create the effect of "soft walls", which are not only pleasant to the touch, but also visually look smooth. Thin cracks, small irregularities or chips become completely invisible, since the material completely covers them.

The "soft walls" effect is not only pleasant to the touch, but also creates the impression of a perfectly smooth surface.

Easy surface preparation

To apply liquid wallpaper you don't need to do complex puttying with a perfect surface. It is enough for the base to be:

• dry;
• clean;
• primed.

This saves time and money, making repairs affordable even for those who decide to work on their own.

Local repair of damaged areas

If the coating is damaged, there is no need to re-paste the entire wall. It is enough:

1. moisten the desired area with water;
2. remove material;
3. reapply it.

The repair borders remain invisible and the surface looks seamless. This is another advantage over traditional wallpaper.

Additional benefits of liquid wallpaper

In addition to the ability to hide defects, the material has other important properties:

• Made from natural ingredients;
• Provides heat and noise insulation;
• Vapor permeability. The fibrous structure of the coating allows you to regulate humidity in the room, or as this property is often called, "allows the walls to breathe";
• It has high resistance to sunlight;
• Maintainability.

Decorative possibilities

Liquid wallpaper allows you to create unique interiors. You can choose:

• a single-tone coating or a combination of several colors;
• options with glitter, natural minerals or silk fibers;
• individual design for the living room, bedroom or nursery.

Even a wall with defects can become the main accent of the room if you use an interesting texture. Also in our «Interior Design» section you can view all the ready-made designs that we have prepared for you and choose your own style for your design.
