Venetian plaster wallpaper: features and design options

Not everyone can indulge in the finishing of marble. Even natural imitation in the form of Venetian plaster will not be affordable for everyone. But the aristocratic interior can be recreated with the help of such analogs as Venetian wallpaper. With this design of the walls of the house, you can not only create a bohemian atmosphere of comfort and beauty, but also save money.

Venetian houses stood on wooden stilts, and so that the natural stone would not weigh down the load-bearing walls, the builders came up with an imitating plaster. It was also called liquid marble, as it consisted of small crumbs of this stone.

It is used for both interior and exterior. The only disadvantage of it is that both the material itself and its installation work are quite expensive. Italian wallpaper for painting is perfect for the corridor. Similar types of decoration could be seen in the ancient palaces.

The wallpaper under the plaster is nothing like ordinary rolled canvases. They can be on non-woven or paper base. Like many other models, they are made of vinyl, which greatly simplifies their sticking. The nature and complexity of gluing Venetian wallpaper will depend on the composition of the material.

The peculiarity of paper wallpaper glueing is that the glue is applied to both the material and the wall. The non-woven surface of the material allows you to apply the adhesive base only on the wallpaper.

The peculiarity of these wallpapers is that they are much heavier than usual. And the thicker they are, the more realistic the imitation effect will be recreated.

The positive qualities of Venetian wallpaper include:

• Strength. Due to the thickness of these paintings are less susceptible to damage during operation and during gluing.
• Moisture resistance. Non-woven linen can be washed with all sorts of household tools, excluding those that contain aggressive chemistry (chlorine).
• Resistance to light. Under long exposure to sunlight wallpaper does not fade.

• Durability. Due to high strength, resistance to moisture, light and dust, these wallpapers explain their durability.
• Resistance to dust. In the manufacture of wallpaper, they are applied to a special composition that repels dust.
• Ease of sticking. Stick material can be very fast. It will take much longer to apply several layers of plaster. In addition, the paintings have smooth edges, which facilitates their smooth docking and pattern compatibility.

• Low cost. Compared to real Venetian plaster, the price of wallpaper will be available for almost any buyer.
• Big choice. Given the style of the interior, you can choose the wallpaper with any texture and decorative elements.

When sticking "Venetian" in the same room, it is important that the batch numbers of the rolls are the same. Otherwise, the difference in the shades of the paintings will be noticeable after they are glued.

The term of paper wallpaper is limited to 6 - 8 years. Venetian canvases can serve and not lose the form of more than 15 years. If the composition of the material of the Venetian wallpaper contains fiberglass, the life increases to 30 years. Unlike many other types of wallpaper, Venetian models can be glued in the kitchen or in the bathroom due to their high moisture and heat resistance.

This makes it easier to make the “docking” of all parts perfect. Thanks to the ancient style with such wallpapers you can recreate the most unique design, supporting all the subtleties of the stylistic direction.
