Recently, a new type of wall design has appeared on the design market – bamboo wallpaper. The “legs” of this exotic grow from the continents where this plant is grown – Africa, Asia, Latin America, Australia. Therefore, it is easy to understand how much this pleasure costs. But there are lovers who do not spare their means. Therefore, whether it is construction in Surgut or in Rio de Janeiro in the design of the apartment always has a place for creativity and flight of fantasy.
The process of manufacturing such wallpaper takes a significant period of time. First, cut stems are dried, so that moisture is half left from them. Then bamboo is stored for several months in specially created conditions. And only after that the wallpaper is made from the stems: the sections taken from the upper layer are glued to the fabric base.
Depending on the conditions in which the bamboo grew, its stems acquire their characteristic coloring. It is this natural color that is used in the creation of interiors. If you choose bamboo wallpaper of several colors, you can create an original wall design. From white, black, yellow, green bamboo, interesting paintings are created (a kind of replacement for photo wallpaper).
You need to work with bamboo wallpaper carefully, t.to. This is a rather delicate material. Therefore, a brush for applying glue on the base should have a soft bristle. If when pasting ordinary wallpaper to level them on the surface of the wall, a rubber roller is used, then in the case of bamboo wallpaper you will have to use a soft cloth. And at the same time, the bamboo is not leveled, but is crushed to the wall.
Since these wallpaper are heavy, it is better to glue them in small pieces, the joint is in the joint. You need to cut a bamboo canvas in advance and use scissors for this metal for this.
Working with bamboo wallpaper, you should know that they cannot be brought at the corner (both concentrated and convex), subjecting to various bends. It is better to finish such places then decorative corners. By the way, in such areas of the walls of the bamboo you can glue fragmentary. Here it will be possible to apply the principle of patchword, creating interesting ornaments from multi -colored “shreds”.
You can not stain bamboo wallpaper so as not to spoil them. But give a shine by applying a small layer of varnish to match the main color.
Glue for bamboo wallpaper is recommended to choose vinyl. And apply it on the basis immediately before pasting on the wall. For a more reliable mount, you can use “liquid nails”. Putting the wallpaper tape to the wall, it must be held without movement for several minutes, giving the glue the opportunity to “grab”.
Bamboo wallpapers, despite the fact that they are durable, do not tolerate mechanical influences and quickly fade under the rays of sunlight.
But if you still do not regret funds for such an original wall decoration, good sound insulation is provided to you. These wallpapers are also antistatic, harmless (after all, natural material) and do not absorb dust.
