Special features
It is difficult to call wallpaper imitating stone a novelty on the building materials market, since such canvases were popular in the Soviet Union. Since then, of course, the technology of manufacturing such wallpaper has changed and modernized, from which their relevance has only increased.
By their structure, these materials do not differ from traditional coatings. They have the same composition, and even the nuances of their sticking are similar to traditional wallpaper. Their main difference is the appearance, showing beautiful stonework. Some canvases have a similar texture, which makes them even more spectacular.

No less interesting and attractive are the wallpapers, in the creation of which non-standard paint application technologies are applied. These materials are slightly less common, but they look more original and elegant.
