What types of wall coverings exist. Interior wall decoration - modern technologies and materials

Modern wall decoration in an apartment is not such an easy task. There are many materials and sometimes it is difficult to figure out which one to choose.
Wall decoration options for performing work can be varied, but certain material is not suitable for every room. All of them are made with different components that tolerate the environment and high humidity in different ways.
That is, for each type of material, its own material is suitable. In this article, we will deal with this issue.
You will have the opportunity to see photos and videos on this topic and choose exactly what you need.

There are several materials that are most commonly used to do this job. Decorating the walls with modern materials is not such a difficult task if you approach it creatively and, first of all, choose the right material.
There are different options for wall decoration, let's dwell on each element in more detail.

Drywall application

Many people make plasterboard cladding. As a rule, such a finish is used if there are uneven walls or if you want to hide communications.
But this option is not suitable for every type of room. This material has advantages and disadvantages.
Here it should be said that the sheets are applied to the crate and its correct manufacture is the key to success. The correctness of the geometric shape depends on this, and this is especially important when performing a multi-level structure.
Let's deal with all of them before making a purchase. It probably won't work for you.

Attention: this finishing option is ideal for uneven walls and if you want to make cladding with a different material. Such material is perfect for cladding with any material and will make the surface perfectly flat and this will be a high-quality base.

Advantages

Such material has a lot of advantages that can persuade the consumer in his direction:

• This design is perfect for leveling walls. Moreover, their unevenness will practically not interest you.
  Decorating can be done in almost any room;
• All work can be done with your own hands and without resorting to outside help. Than you significantly reduce the cost of all work and this is important;
• You do not need to do any pre-treatment of the walls. It will be enough to remove the layer that peels off and apply a primer;
• It will be possible to immediately apply additional insulation, and its thickness is not limited. Only this will need to be calculated in advance;
• It is possible to finish the bathroom, only the facing material should be applied to the surface;
• You can always hide all communications. This material is attached to the frame and allows you to do this;
• This finish perfectly tolerates temperature extremes and can be installed indoors without constant heating. Only it is worth using a moisture-resistant material.

Also, when buying drywall, you should pay attention to the edge, which also can be different.

disadvantages

There are also disadvantages in this material, which should be considered:

• You will definitely reduce the usable floor space. It is for the size of the frame, which cannot be less than 5 cm;
• This design saturates moisture and does not tolerate direct ingress of water;
• Such a finish cannot be the final option, you will need to do more cladding with another material, or make a finishing putty.

Attention: there is also a moisture-resistant material that is less susceptible to high humidity. It is suitable for a bathroom, but you shouldn't mount it in a bath. It will go bad anyway. Even in the bathroom, do the subsequent cladding, then it will stand for a long time.

Choosing drywall

In retail, there are several types of this product that are suitable for different types of premises.
Before making a purchase, you should know which one is right for you:

• GKL is the simplest and most affordable material. Suitable for finishing any type of room, only heated.
  He does not tolerate high humidity and temperature extremes. Therefore, installation in a bathroom is not recommended. At positive temperatures it can be used almost everywhere;
• GKLO, this material is fire-resistant and can already be placed, for example, near the fireplace or in the utility room. It can even resist an open flame without changing its structure.
  Can be used in any type of room. Produced in green with red markings;
• GKLV, such a material is moisture resistant and can be used to decorate a bathroom, but you should not think that you can pour water on it. He will not stand it for a long time.
  In its production, integrated cardboard is used and therefore it can withstand high humidity. Produced in green with blue markings;
• GKLVO, this material has all the qualities that are listed in the two previous options. But its price is much higher.
  Such material is used in the decoration of premises that require increased moisture and fire resistance. It is used in all types of premises. It is produced in green and has a red marking.

PVC paneling

Wall decoration options will not be complete without a description of PVC panels. They are also used quite often.
They have many advantages that are described in drywall, but there is also something that distinguishes PVC panels from the previous material.

So:

• Such material is perfect for finishing non-residential premises. It will perfectly tolerate high humidity and temperature changes. But in a living room it is not often installed. Gives a non-residential look from the inside;
• The panels are fixed to the frame, but after installation they do not need to be finished. The elements are already finished. And this is important, in this version you avoid additional costs for facing;
• The price of the material is quite low and much less than analogues.

Attention: When choosing such material, you should give preference to proven and well-known brands. Using material from unknown manufacturers, you risk causing harm to your health.

Plastering of walls

This finishing option is the most popular in our time. Let's see what attracts him.
Nowadays, many people prefer decorative material and there are reasons for this.

Advantages

There are a number of advantages in this material that are difficult to argue with:

• Such plaster is quite easy to apply and therefore the work can be completely done with your own hands and without resorting to outside help. This will reduce the cost of all finishing.
  Moreover, the coating is applied to almost any base, therefore, it makes it acceptable for any room. To carry out the work, you do not need a special tool; for such work, a roller and a spatula will be enough;

Attention: To complete the work, you will need to prepare the correct solution. It should not be made very liquid or solid.
It is necessary to correctly achieve plasticity. Never start performing work without checking the ability of the material to stay flat on the surface, it may just float.
Therefore, large sizes should not be applied immediately. First test the strength of the mortar by applying to a small surface.

• When applying such a finish, you do not need to do time-consuming surface preparation. It will be enough to beat off the exfoliated material and apply a layer of primer. The rest of the cover will perfectly hide.

Attention: Before applying the material, it is worth checking the unevenness of the wall. This finish will hide inaccuracies.
But if your irregularities reach more than two cm, then the material should not be applied right away. First you need to do the alignment with plasterboard and only then apply the finishing material.

• This material can perfectly perform a kind of insulation. Just before applying the material, make the surface treatment with a primer and select the appropriate class of material.
  Such modern materials for wall decoration in an apartment are produced with the additional property of insulation, the instructions must be fully studied before buying;
• This is an environmentally friendly material that looks quite elegant. You can give the finish to almost any color and shade and perfectly match any interior.
  You can also make a curly surface, the more you define the pattern yourself;
• There is no doubt about the durability of the material, which will last for more than a dozen years, only it is worth doing everything according to the technology and correctly and efficiently preparing the base plane;
• The main disadvantage is the price, which is not low. But if such factors are taken into account as: a long time of operation, the ability to perform work completely independently and the fact that the material after laying will not need to be veneered, then the price will not seem so high.

These were given three options that are most used in our time. They are basic.
Instructions for installing these types of finishes are on the pages of our website, and the instructions are quite detailed.

Renovation in an apartment implies a high-quality and original design of all existing surfaces in the room. For this, modern materials are used to decorate the walls in the apartment.

Types of finishing materials used in the interior

Wall decoration options in modern apartment design are quite diverse (see Wall decoration with MDF panels).

To do this, use:

• Wallpaper.
• Decorative plaster.
• Fake diamond.

• Ceramics.
• PVC panels (see Wall decoration with PVC panels).

Wallpaper in the decoration of the room

Wall decoration, options for using wallpaper are very different due to the difference in the material itself (see Wall decoration in the living room).

Today they are used:

• Paper.
• Non-woven.
• Vinyl.

• Textile.
• Liquid.

All about paper wallpaper, characteristics:

• This is the most common design for wall surfaces. They are very breathable. Therefore, you should not use the material in rooms where there is humidity. They are also able to easily absorb moisture. To a greater extent, they perform decorative functions.

• This material has a large selection of colors and designs. The standard width of paper wall-paper is 50 cm. The material is produced in rolls 25-50 m long. Paper wall-paper is very light and different types of embossing are used on their surface.

Non-woven wallpaper:

• This type of wallpaper is a more durable material. It is also made in rolls, only the width in some cases can reach 1-1.20 m. Non-woven wallpaper is moisture resistant, which makes it very simple and easy to clean.

Advice. You can clean the surface of such wallpaper only with a damp cloth and do not use abrasive products.

Today there are two types of non-woven wallpaper:

• For painting.
• Structural.

Vinyl-based wallpaper

Vinyl wallpaper is a fairly common option for wall decoration. They are a material on a paper or non-woven base, the protective layer of which is polyvinyl chloride.

This type of wallpaper is also moisture resistant and its surface is not able to absorb dirt. It can be easily cleaned with a regular damp cloth. Wallpaper is glued very easily and quickly, as it has different sizes.

On the surface, you can often find embossing elements that give originality to the design of the room. Vinyl wallpaper can be silk-screened. There are types of them that have a heavy weight. Due to this, with their help, you can level the surface if it has not too deep and large defects.

Textile wallpaper

Wallpaper of this type is a roll material, the surface of which is fabric. The material is quite dense and durable (see Wall decoration with a cloth).

Advice. Textile wallpaper should not be used in rooms where there are different odors and high humidity of air masses, as they absorb unpleasant odors very well.

Textile wallpapers have a variety of designs and types. They are glued to the surface quite easily and quickly.

Advice. When using such a finishing material, it is worth considering that the wallpaper is quite dense and that the finish is of high quality, glue is applied to the surface of the wall and to the inside of the wallpaper.

The liquid wallpaper

Liquid wallpaper is a new type of finishing coating, which consists of special mixtures and fabric inclusions. Such material is sold in dry form, and in order to apply it to the surface there are certain instructions according to which they are divorced.

For the installation of such material you will need:

• Capacity for mixing the solution.
• Construction mixer with which the solution is mixed.
• Two spatulas.
• Liquid in the spray bottle.

The principle of applying such wallpaper is very similar to applying plaster. Everything is done in a similar way, only here you need to apply only one layer. In case of damage to the surface, you need to moisten the place, usually with water, and run with a spatula, and as a result, the appearance of the wallpaper is updated.

Pasting the surface with wallpaper

The process of pasting the surface is quite simple, and you can do it yourself without involving specialists in this field. The most important thing is to qualitatively and correctly prepare the surface for such work.

Preparatory work:

• It is possible to glue this finishing material only on a flat surface. It can be leveled with plasterboard or plaster. Drywall is a more practical material that is mounted on a special profile metal frame. With plaster, there is a larger volume, and the whole process is characterized after completion by a large amount of construction waste and dust.

Advice. If the leveling of the surface must be done very quickly and efficiently, then it is better to use drywall.

It is imperative that each surface must be treated with a soil solution. If it was not at hand, then instead of it, ordinary wallpaper glue is used, with the help of which the pasting process will be carried out. It is applied in a small layer to the surface and wait for complete absorption.

The gluing process

For pasting walls you need to use:

• Container for mixing adhesive.
• Mixing tool (wooden stick).
• Brushes (1 - for applying glue to the wallpaper, 2 - on the wall surface).

• Foam rollers for leveling wallpaper on the surface.
• Dry rags.

Stages of work:

• Before you cut off the required strip size for the surface from the roll of wallpaper, you must first attach the material to the wall and make notes at the top and bottom with a pencil. With the help of scissors, a piece is cut off and coated with glue. The same actions are carried out on the surface of the wall.

• The strip is applied and begins to align from the very top to the bottom, using rollers and rags. All this is also done with other stripes.

Advice. As a rule, when gluing wallpaper, difficulties often arise with the joints of the material, which are formed as a result of poor-quality smearing of the strip. To prevent this from happening, a special paper tape is glued to the surface under each joint, which easily holds the edges of the wallpaper on the surface.

Decorative plaster in wall decoration

Modern wall decoration in an apartment can be done using such an interesting tool as decorative plaster. The main type of plaster has been used for centuries.

Types of decorative plaster:

• Silicate plaster.
• Silicone.
• Acrylic.
• Mineral.

More about materials:

• Silicate plaster is quite strong and durable. It does not absorb dirt and is fairly easy to clean with a damp cloth. Before choosing this type of plaster, it is worth considering that it very easily breaks off the surface with an accidental impact.
• Silicone plaster is the most practical. It consists of polymeric binders. The price for it is quite high. It is easy to apply to the surface due to its elasticity.

• The most versatile is acrylic plaster. It is used not only in interior but also in exterior work. It is used in any room with any air humidity and temperature extremes. Its drying process is very fast, which makes it possible to finish finishing work several times faster.
• Mineral plaster is not very durable. Especially when the walls are constantly exposed to some kind of vibration. It cracks and crumbles very easily from the surface and is not recommended for use in decorative work. This is the cheapest remedy.

Advice. The choice of decorative plaster is based on the surface material and the complexity of the work.

How to apply decorative plaster

Wall decoration with modern materials is distinguished by its simple and easy implementation. All this can be said about decorative plaster. For its application, it is necessary to prepare the surface.

Surface preparation:

• It is possible to apply decorative plaster only on a flat surface, since the purpose of its application is the decor of the room. Plasterboard, plaster or any other method is used to level the surface.

Advice. When choosing a material for leveling the surface, it is worth considering that decorative plaster can only be applied to ordinary plaster.

• Therefore, a starting plaster is applied to the surface in several layers (the number of layers depends on the size of the defects on the surface), each of which, after complete drying, is processed with sandpaper.
• After the starting plaster, a finishing plaster is applied, which is designed to hide small defects in the first layer. It is applied according to the same principle as the starting one.

To apply ordinary plaster you will need:

• Building level.
• Construction mesh.

• Two trowels of different sizes.
• Construction mixer for mixing mortar.

• Solution container.
• Sandpaper.

Decorative plastering process

Decorating a wall surface using decorative plaster is a fairly simple process (see Finishing corners in an apartment for a recommendation).

For him you will need:

• 2 medium-sized spatulas.
• Sandpaper.
• Capacity and construction mixer.

The product is applied in small layers, it all depends on the type of plaster.

Advice. In any case, the first layer on the surface of the decorative plaster should be translucent. It will form the basis for further surface decoration.

The video shows such a process from the beginning to its completion and there is nothing complicated in it, especially if the surface is well prepared.

Basic rules for finishing

Despite the fact that the stage of finishing work itself begins at the end of construction, it is advisable to plan what materials for interior decoration of the walls of the house will be used, and in what capacity, preferably from the very beginning. In addition, it must be borne in mind that the department itself is divided into start and finish. This means that even before choosing, for example, wallpaper, you will need to trim the walls with sheets of drywall or putty. The first method is called "dry", the second - "wet" (because the putty requires work with water). In any case, produced preliminary work:

The walls are preliminarily eliminated as much as possible unnecessary elements(self-tapping screws, extra guides), rust is burned out, old elements (if any) are also removed;

Walls degreased and processed additionally, if necessary (for example, impregnated with a fire-resistant compound or treated against fungus).

Which method to choose depends on the availability of time and money. "Dry" will also require plaster to be applied over drywall, but rather in a single coat.

At a minimum, you will have to putty the joints between the drywall sheets and the grooves left by the screws Source papamaster.su

By the way, when dry finishing it is not necessary to use drywall - it can be MDF sheets or other smooth material. "Wet" is initially inapplicable in a number of cases - for example, a house made of foam blocks.

Important nuances when choosing a finishing material

It is good to have a ready-made design project for final finishing. If there is none, then it will be more difficult to estimate how many materials are needed, and what can be used to replace them if necessary. For example:

If you live indoors all year round, it is better not to choose MDF panels and plastic. Despite the high class of these materials in current production, they still do not belong to the most fire resistant and environmentally friendly.

It is best to pay attention also to material class- any package will be marked with the letter "E" and a number. Anything that does not have a value equal to "1" refers to materials not for residential premises ("E3" is not used at all in a residential building).

Do not apply in any way products for external cladding inside houses (this is not only impractical, but also harmful).

For foam block construction option plasterboard finishes from the inside - the only correct one.

Under certain conditions (unpretentiousness, first of all), you can the same material finish immediately the ceiling, floor and walls. At the same time, it is worth knowing that rack materials are best suited for such use, they can immediately finish the wall and ceiling, but tiles, for example, for the floor and walls, should have different densities and resistance to abrasion.

Thermal insulation, treatment against fungus, moisture and mold perform up to direct decoration of the interior walls of the house, regardless of the characteristics of the material being laid, which will go on top.

Interior wall materials such as wallpaper, tile or paint, will require careful initial preparation and leveling of the walls. If this is not possible, it is better to look at sheet materials.

When choosing a putty, it is worth evaluating not only the work, but also the approximate drying time all required layers (application will most likely require more than one pass).

For use in wet rooms(for example, a bathroom) you should not use the same options as in residential ones. Higher requirements are imposed here.

The beauty of the bathroom hides a rather thick protective "pie" Source dizayn.top

For those premises where daily use is expected, associated with mechanical pollution (for example, a kitchen or a hallway), it is better to think in advance about the issue of additional cleaning of the surface. Don't choose a patterned or ribbed finish. Most likely, it will look very nice, but it will be difficult to clean.

Wooden coverings will require a room with stable humidity and temperature throughout the year.

Types of finishing materials

By themselves, the materials for decorating the walls inside the house have the following general classification:

Rack(all kinds of lining, trimming boards, PVC and MDF panels) - a convenient and inexpensive option in order to quickly complete the closure of a large area. Washable well, easy to repair. There is only one drawback here - wooden lining is demanding on temperature and humidity, and plastic parts are not as environmentally friendly as we would like;

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer the service of finishing and insulation of houses. You can communicate directly with representatives by visiting the Low-Rise Country exhibition of houses.

Diverse covering(textile, vinyl or linoleum) - they are well washed, practical and durable enough, and do not cost as much as panels or shields. Of the minuses - the need to combine with other types, since textiles, for example, collect dust and moisture well, and vinyl and linoleum when pasting will not allow the surface to "breathe". Both options are poorly suited for a bathroom or kitchen;

Rolled polymer(wallpaper) - a way in which it is possible to simulate almost any surface. Unpretentious, with a wide choice of patterns, wallpapers on the market have long and firmly occupied their niche - and if you have to choose between ordinary or cork or bamboo, it is better (albeit less profitable) to choose the latter option. The most inexpensive paper version, in addition, paper wallpaper does not close the air exchange for the wall, which is very convenient in rooms with a low level of natural light or not an ideal level of humidity. This also includes silk and textile wallpapers, velor, as well as photo wallpapers that make up the picture. Cons - if they are not for painting, it will not work to repair a separate section, you will have to re-glue everything;

Paints and varnishes(acrylic, silicate or silicone paints) - there are a lot of advantages here. For starters, the paint repels dust easily, washes well, has a long service life (over 10 years), and can be used on any type of substrate. But - it requires almost perfect alignment, otherwise any roughness will be noticeable immediately;

Some manufacturers do not offer individual paint colors, but paint bases to which pigment is added - this way you can get any shade Renoveure-peinture.fr source

Plaster(including decorative) - very demanding on the hands of the master. They are completely different - relief, Venetian, mineral or structural, simple smooth, textured. They can create any wall effect and can even be applied to a not-so-well-aligned area. Of the pleasant bonuses - plaster usually increases the sound insulation of the room and slightly insulates it. Such wall decoration in the house requires additional specification and a lot of experience, so it may not be quite budgetary;

Decorative plaster allows for individual finishing Source rerooms.ru

Slab(natural and artificial stone and brick, tile itself) is a convenient option, but it will require the involvement of qualified labor and a preliminary layout of the pattern, in addition, the tiles will not be fragile enough on the walls or floor, so you should not store it for a long time. It will also not be very appropriate to lay out the entire room with a stone, designers advise using the coating only for small areas of the room;

Leafy materials for wall cladding inside the house (this includes, for example, cladding panels for interior decoration, usually measuring no more than 1 m on one side, made of wood or plastic) - easy to use, reliable, hide wiring or communications inside, and mount they can be done in an extremely short time. The only drawback here is the same as in the case of using rack and pinion structures - plastic is not always optimal, and wooden panels for decoration are the most expensive thing on the market;

Conclusion

Often, when choosing the final interior decoration, they are primarily guided by the budget and timing. To get the most out of it, contact the professionals in their field and they will help you choose which finishing material for the walls inside the house will be best in your case and will draw up a detailed work plan, including the starting finish.

Wall decoration, like nothing else, affects the interior and overall appearance of the room. Therefore, the choice of material should be approached not only from the side of "oh, how beautiful it will look", but also to pay attention to practicality. After all, each room has its own functional areas. Let's look at the most popular options for wall decoration in an apartment, the pros, cons and photos.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper is perhaps the most popular room decor option. There are different types of wallpaper, from simple paper to vinyl or even 3D. The material is chosen depending on the room. For example, in the kitchen, vinyl (washable wallpaper) is better. It is very convenient, because at any time the walls can be cleaned of "soot" and other dirt. And it is better to choose moisture-resistant ones in the bathroom, otherwise the material will absorb moisture, it can peel off and in addition to everything, a fungus will appear. In the nursery, there are several options for solving the problem: washable and lightweight paper (up to 110 g / m 3). The first option is more expensive and practical; it will be an excellent solution for various "surprises" from the most active family members. It's no secret that children are an inventive people, and not all creativity can be corrected. Soon, the material will still have to be re-glued. Paper ones are cheaper and here the calculation is based on the fact that as soon as the wallpaper gets very dirty, they can be easily re-glued. But this will have to be done an order of magnitude more often than with washable ones. Non-woven, liquid, textile, photo and 3D wallpapers will look great in the living room and one or another option is selected depending on the design. All the nuances of wall decoration with wallpaper (types, photos, descriptions, how to choose, etc.).

Decorative plaster

For most of us, the phrase "plastering walls" is associated with leveling the surface and other rough work. But today, decorative plaster is an excellent solution for the original decoration of a room. Depending on the type (acrylic, mineral, silicate, etc.), the technical qualities, properties and appearance of the material change. The advantage of plaster is the ability to apply various patterns, even a few correct strokes with a spatula can give the room an original look. The disadvantage is the difficulty in applying. All the secrets of plaster.

Tile

The tile is resistant to moisture, temperature changes and other troubles, therefore it is best suited for the bathroom and kitchen. The disadvantage of the material is the complexity of the work and the high cost. For example, "cottoforte" tiles will perfectly complement any interior, but at the same time, the cost of laying it is far from affordable for everyone. The interior of the room directly depends on the interior of the material (ceramic, glass, PVC, etc.), each of which has its own characteristics. More about styling, types and other nuances.

Drywall

Drywall is a good option for finishing almost any room.

Most often, PVC panels can be found in offices, shopping centers and other commercial establishments. Since plastic is not a natural material, it is rarely used in a bedroom or living room. But for a kitchen or bathroom, plastic panels will be an excellent solution, since they have all the necessary qualities. Moreover, the material is easy to install and in case of damage, any part can be easily replaced. All about PVC panels.

Decorative rock

- expensive pleasure. Also, laying it on the wall yourself without the necessary experience is unlikely to work. This is perhaps the only drawback of the material. Natural, durable, resistant stone is able to bring originality to the room and emphasize the stateliness of its owners.
