Often, after a while, our repairs cease to look as attractive as at the very beginning. The plaster is sprinkled, sometimes the wallpaper is peeled off. But this is not a reason to start a new repair, you can just fix the old one and extend his life for several more years.
Why are the wallpaper behind the wall?
Most often, the reason for inaccurate compliance with the instructions for pasting. Especially it concerns heavy types of wallpaper, which require special glue and additional materials, for example, paper strips in the joints.
Also, the reason may lie in insufficiently high-quality preparation of the surface or uneven application of the adhesive. Departure wallpaper is sometimes due to the dampness of the room.
