Repair begins with preparatory work, which is divided into several stages, first you need to take out all the furniture, if this cannot be done, move it to the center and cover it with polyethylene and at the same time do not forget to wrap the lamps, the window and doors into the film.
The preparation of the apartment for repair is performed in stages, work with the ceiling and separately with the surface of the walls. What does it mean? And this means that from the surfaces, ceiling and walls it is necessary to remove all the old coatings, it was white from the ceiling, and the wallpaper from the walls. Before repair, the ceiling must be blurred and dust and the old coating is removed from its surface. To blur the ceiling, you need a container with clean water and a roller on a long handle.
Roll the roller moistened in water on the surface, change the water as it is polluted. So that the result is on the face wipe the base with a roller several times with small interruptions. As soon as the ceiling dried, using a spatula, it is necessary to remove the upper layer of the previous coating. The fact that the whitewashing is perfectly removed will be evidenced by the fact that when touched to the base, you cannot get dirty.
So, the ceiling is prepared, proceed to the walls. The first thing to do is warm water with a roller apply it to the wallpaper surface. Wallpaper should get wet. Today there is an excellent alternative to water, a special solution for removing old wallpapers. When the wallpaper was wet removed. If not all places succumbed to the action of the solution, apply it one more time, and then remove it, now it will not be a great work. Pack the wounds removed immediately in garbage bags, this will simplify your work.
Primer
So, the walls and ceiling are blurred and cleaned of the old coating. Now you can proceed to the next stage of preparing the foundations, to the priming of the ceiling, which serves as a kind of strengthening for the use of subsequent materials, paint and glue. The primer to the surface is applied with a roller, evenly in the basis. The ceiling is painted only, rolling the roller along, in one motion and so that the stripes slightly overlap each other. The roller must be kept at 30 degrees with an angle, this will make it possible to paint evenly on the base. If the surface is quickly dried, pass the paint again. Then let the ceiling dry out, and after that proceed to the black leveling of the base. What is it? This is the black alignment, the base of the base with a special plaster mixture for removing the hill and recesses.
The solution is applied to the surface of the ceiling with a spatula, the excess is removed by a special strait. If there are cracks, glue them with a reinforcing tape. If the base is too crooked, process it in several layers. At the same time, the base should not be covered with a thick layer, when dried, they can crack, it is better to a little, but several times. Drying time depends on the thickness of the resulting solution.
Before moving on to further processing of the ceiling, the black plaster should dry and only after that we proceed to the final stage, to putty. It is used for the last stage of alignment of the base and removal of small cracks and errors. Unlike black plastering, putty on the base is applied with a thin layer, which should not exceed 5 millimeters.
When the base is plastered, packed and dried up, its surface should be treated with sandpaper to obtain a smooth base. And only after the implementation of these rules, the ceiling can be painted. It is painted only with a roller, even stripes, a thin layer.
Wallpaper
Now you can switch to sticking wallpaper. To do this, you need to cut the blanks from the wallpaper, taking into account the size and pattern. Calculate how many whole canvases are needed, cut them, and after that, in the places of windows and doorways, each canvas will have to be measured separately. It is better to glue wallpaper from the window or from the corner of the room
Glue on wallpaper must be spread a roller, from the center and to the edges. At the same time, keep in mind that the edges of the wallpaper must be carefully treated with glue. Next, we put the canvas in two, this will allow them to be well saturated with glue. We apply a piece of wallpaper from top to bottom, pressing with fabric, roller or special brush. Wallpaper is very afraid of drafts, the slightest draft and their lag and fall inevitably. You need it? No, then take care to dry naturally.
