Such unusual properties of the material are obtained by adding to artificial fibers, for example, polyester.

• glue is applied directly to the wall, so there is no need to allocate space on the floor for the layout of cut cuts;
• walls do not require thorough preliminary preparation - small irregularities and roughness are concealed due to the thickness of the canvas.

Smooth non-woven wallpaper

A new word in the interior finishing works can be called wallpaper from nonwoven with an ideally smooth surface. Their main purpose - finishing the walls before painting or applying decorative coatings, including wallpaper. Using such non-woven wallpaper, the colors are obtained as much as possible saturated, without streaks and unevenness, which contributes to the achievement of a perfectly colored surface. The thickness of the wallpapering cloths is selected depending on the level of wall roughness - the more irregularities, the thicker the fleece layer is needed.

Non-woven fleece wallpaper

Those who are looking for a way in the shortest time to give the room a well-groomed look, it makes sense to pay attention to foamed wallpaper on a non-woven basis. This is a material of medium thickness with a relief surface that is able to hide any unevenness on the walls. Often in the drawings on foamed wallpaper use glitter and other bright decorative elements. But they have one significant disadvantage - a very fragile outer layer. For this reason, it is not necessary to glue the walls in children's rooms and dwellings where there are pets.

Washing non-woven wallpaper

Flizelinovye wallpaper for the kitchen fit only in one case - if they are covered with a layer of paint.

Vinyl wall-paper on a non-woven basis, whose decorative surface suffers more from the aggressive kitchen environment, proves to be somewhat worse.
