7 best adhesives for non-woven wallpaper

The best dry adhesives for non-woven wallpaper

KLEO ULTRA

Although the word "fiberglass" catches the eye first on the packaging of this glue, in fact, this glue is universal for all types of wallpaper, including heavy ones. And when buying just for non-woven wallpaper, the glue is also good in terms of economy: a half-kilogram pack, diluted for 10 liters of water, is enough for up to 80 square meters of area.

Since adhesives are usually diluted quite thinly for non-woven wallpaper, do not forget to prime the plaster first - otherwise, applying the glue directly to it, you will be disappointed with the result: the glue will be absorbed and will not hold anything. We'll have to wait for it to dry, and during this time return to the store for a new pack.

The basis of "Ultra" is a modified starch with antifungal additives, the size of the fraction is quite small: after mixing, the glue comes to a "working" state in five minutes on average. When cooking, you do not need to rush to fall asleep, so as not to encounter the formation of lumps, which will be difficult to break. Well, in general, in terms of price-quality ratio, this glue is worth recommending for working with non-woven wallpaper.

• Economical consumption
• Good efficiency
• Good antiseptic effect

Fast setting - the time for correction is limited, and errors are critical for non-woven wallpaper, stacked end-to-end

PUFAS Security GK 10

German glue just like Kleo, the first word in applicability indicates "glass wallpaper", and non-woven - only the second. It is designed just for these two types of materials, both for work of an "amateur" scale with manual application of glue on the wall, and in wallpaper-lubricating machines. Its composition is composite - methylcellulose, starch, artificial resins. The cooking time is 15 minutes, it takes a long time to stir the glue, but the result will not disappoint: in our market it is one of the strongest adhesives, with which you definitely will not have to think: is the wallpaper too heavy for it?

Unfortunately, it is also one of the most disadvantageous. Judge for yourself: a half-kilogram pack according to the instructions will be enough for no more than 30 square meters. The cheaper "Cleo Ultra" will be enough for twice the area, even if the "Pufas" is diluted harder (which is, in general, quite normal for non-woven fabric). Therefore, such a purchase will justify itself, first of all, when working with heavy wallpaper and in a sufficiently humid room, which will lead to more stringent requirements for durability and resistance to fungus in the glue.

• Excellent adhesion
• High adhesive strength

High consumption

Moment Non-woven

But "Moment" traditionally offers a fairly budgetary wallpaper glue: a half-kilogram pack is designed for 56 square meters of area when pasting with non-woven linen. When priming porous surfaces with glue, multiply this figure by half.

Well, everything is fine with the price, but what about the quality? "Moment Flizelin" is a mixture of methylcellulose with starch, however, rather arbitrary, because the mass fraction of starch is indicated in the safety data sheet up to 90 percent. The fraction is large, and the glue itself turns out to be quite thick, so you should involve a mixer for mixing. After 15 minutes, the glue swells enough for application, but due to its density, it may not be as economical as the manufacturer promises. A common mistake of beginners is to smear it "too thoroughly", which does not increase the strength of the gluing, but only increases the consumption.

Unfortunately, one of the steps to reduce the cost of glue was the simplification of packaging - this is an ordinary "cardboard box", without an inner sealed bag. So when buying, do not be lazy to touch the box - if large lumps are felt in it, or even more complete hardening, then you should not take not only this particular box, but the glue in the store in general: it was stored in conditions of increased dampness, which immediately becomes noticeably. To be honest, it is unlikely that the simplest plastic bag would have increased the price so much - so for the Moment package there is no doubt a minus in the rating point.

Review of popular manufacturers

The choice of the best wallpaper glue for non-woven wallpaper always depends on the technical characteristics of the composition, which are indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging. The quality of the finish and the strength of the pasting of the surface directly depend on the composition of the substance. In the table provided, you can see the main manufacturers of adhesives for non-woven wallpaper, as well as their consumption and cost.

It is necessary to consider in more detail the glue for non-woven wallpaper from each manufacturer.

Exclusive adhesive

The adhesives of this manufacturer are made in England and are of high quality. In particular, for wallpapers with a non-woven backing, ExclusiveNonWoven glue is suitable, which also adheres well to paper, vinyl, textile wallpapers and silk-screen printing. If the question arises: which wallpaper glue is better for non-woven wallpaper of an elite type, the answer will not be long in coming - choose Exclusive glue.

The advantages of Exclusive glue include ease of application and excellent tendency to slip, due to which wallpaper joints are glued perfectly. This composition is endowed with special antifungal additives, and is also absolutely safe for humans.

Metylan glue

This glue is produced in Germany and, when used, is applied directly to the wall, like most other compositions for non-woven wallpaper. It is possible to use metylan wallpaper glue with lime and cemented wall surfaces.

For wallpaper with a non-woven base, Methylane Flizelin Ultra Premium glue is suitable, which can be purchased at almost any hardware store. Due to the presence of additional polymer additives in the composition, the glue sets very quickly. Among the products for other types of wallpaper by this manufacturer there is a color indication, but here it is absent.

Such wallpaper glue for non-woven wallpaper can be stored undiluted for 3 years from the date of production, and when diluting the glue solution, it is better to follow the instructions on the pack. According to the manufacturer's data, Methylane for non-woven wallpaper is ready within 5 minutes after mixing.

Quelyd glue

Adhesives of the French production of the Kelid brand are characterized by their economy in consumption. After complete drying, which occurs within 2 days, wallpaper glue Kelid acquires a colorless color. The presence of antibacterial properties in the composition allows this glue to be absolutely harmless to humans.

Glue QuelydSpecialFlyzelin is suitable for wallpaper of any width, thanks to its quick dilution, the speed of pasting the walls is significantly increased. In addition, the already mixed solution can be stored in a bucket for up to one week. The main storage condition is to protect the composition from frost.

Pufas glue

German manufacturer's glue for non-woven wallpaper Pufas Euro 3000 has a color indicator that greatly helps during work. The blue indicator is added to the composition initially and helps to control the amount of glue applied.

5 minutes after mixing, the solution is ready, thanks to this speed, this composition can be called the best glue for non-woven wallpaper, which is diluted in a matter of minutes.

Antiseptic additives to Pufas glue prevent the appearance of fungus and insects under the wallpaper. If you apply the glue directly to the wallpaper, then its consumption will decrease, and 7.5 liters of water will be needed to dilute one pack.

Glue Kleo

This glue is considered one of the best professional compositions for gluing non-woven wallpaper. The French manufacturer offers a whole line of products for non-woven wallpaper KleoLine.

The main product is KleoExtra Non-woven Line Professional in a 250 g pack, which will take 5 minutes to cook.

Wallpaper glue for non-woven wallpaper kleo has antifungal additives, and the finished composition can be stored for 10 days. A very advantageous advantage of this glue is the ability to hide some wall defects.

Criteria for choosing an adhesive for non-woven wallpaper

When buying glue, the consumer first of all pays attention to the composition of the adhesive mass. Two important characteristics depend on it:

• adhesion force with glued surfaces;
• the level of resistance to fungus and mold;

In addition, you need to pay attention:

• setting speed (drying time);
• shelf life in a diluted form;
• consumption per 1 m2;
• price;
• manufacturer.

Composition. For non-woven fabric, a paste is prepared based on methylcellulose or modified starch (MC). PVA is added to some types.

It is better to buy without MK - higher reliability and durability. PVA strengthens the adhesion of the trellis to the wall. By the way, the level of adhesion is not indicated on the packaging, which makes it difficult to choose. Therefore, you need to focus on the basis and the presence of PVA.

Of no small importance is the presence of antiseptics that suppress the growth of mold and mildew. There is information about this on the package.

Accordingly, the absence of a record indicates that there are no antiseptics.

Drying speed. For some manufacturers, the glue dries quickly, while for others it does not. Therefore, the choice must be made in accordance with the availability of experience. If it is, you can ignore the indicator. In the absence of skills in working with non-woven fabric, the quick setting of the paste can turn into trouble. Here it is better to play it safe and choose long-lasting compositions.

Shelf life when diluted. An important criterion for those who combine repairs on their own with their main work. Here, you definitely need to make a choice in favor of compounds that retain their properties in a diluted form for a long time.

Consumption. The consumption rate per 1 m2 is important for several reasons:

• determines the number of packs of glue for finishing work;
• affects the drying rate - a thicker layer dries longer;
• forms the cost of glue.

Manufacturers indicate on the packaging the area for which the pack of the mixture is enough and the net weight. By dividing the weight by the area, you can get the consumption in grams per 1 m2. The optimal consumption is considered to be 8.0-8.5 g / m2. Less - dries very quickly, more - higher purchase costs.

Price. An interesting situation is observed with the price - it does not always reflect the true state of affairs. A pack may cost 20% more than its analogues, but the glued area is 30% higher. Naturally, it is more efficient.

We should not forget about the wrapping up on the brand, especially the German one. Therefore, it is worth looking for Russian glue made according to German technology, and sometimes from imported raw materials. The quality is the same, but the price is different. The Russian manufacturer has a lower one.

Manufacturer. You can not doubt the quality only by buying products from well-established brands. But there are nuances here: even some of the world-famous companies in the line of adhesives can find a "black sheep". Everything is fine with the quality - the technology is observed from "A" to "Z".

But with the composition, everything is not always perfect: expanding the client base, they reduce the cost of products due to cheaper components, resulting in neither one nor the other: the glue is relatively cheap, the quality is the same - relative. Therefore, before going to a hypermarket or shop for paste, if you have not had your own experience, it is better to plunge into the web of the Internet in search of advice.

How to use correctly

When using, you must strictly adhere to the instructions.

Surface preparation

Only a prepared wall should be used for gluing, which has no problems. For this you need:

• clean the surface from dust and grease;
• remove old canvases, glue and bad plaster;
• apply new plaster to holes and irregularities;
• go through with sandpaper, then moisten with water;
• after drying, the wall is ready for glue application.

How to prepare a solution

All specific numbers can be found on the back of the package, the following are the main stages of mixing:

• pour the required amount of water into the container;
• pouring dry glue into the container, continuously stir the composition with a drill;
• leave the mixture for 5-7 minutes;
• stir again and can be used.

Application

Now you can spread the cut pieces of wallpaper near the place where they will be glued. Apply a thin layer of glue to the canvas using a roller or soft bristles. It remains to carefully attach the wallpaper to the wall and hold it for a while.

2> Applying glue to the walls

The mixture is applied to the walls with a roller or brush. It is better to use both of these tools - it is easier to coat large and smooth areas with a roller, and use a brush to grease the joints, apply glue to the corners, near the baseboards.

It is recommended to start gluing 40 cm from one of the corners. In this place, using a plumb line, a vertical is drawn - the first strip of wallpaper will be combined with it.

Important! On the pack of glue it is written that non-woven fabrics do not need to be cut into strips - they must be glued from a roll. But for beginners it is too difficult, it is still more convenient to cut the material into the necessary fragments.

The adhesive layer must be uniform. Kleo Extra does not contain any color pigment, so you need to carefully monitor the uniformity of its application. It is better to draw a dotted line on the wall for the width of the roll plus 2 cm. This will avoid dry joints and facilitate the application process.

It is necessary to glue the room in a closed room, without drafts and open windows. The optimum temperature for this is 10-25 ° C. Under these conditions, the glue will dry evenly and not too quickly. If the installation of wallpaper is performed by a non-professional, the joints must be greased with a brush - in these places the glue dries quickly.

Peculiarities

Non-woven wallpaper is presented to the consumer in two versions:

• pure non-woven wallpaper consists of several layers of non-woven backing. In this case, the lower layers are absolutely even, and the upper one is embossed;
• non-woven wallpaper is a non-woven wallpaper with a layer of foamed vinyl or fabric applied to it.

In either case, the wallpaper has a smooth non-woven coating on the side that is glued to the wall. This provides a tighter fit and stronger adhesion of the canvas to the wall.

Regardless of the type of non-woven wallpaper chosen, you must remember about the features of pasting walls with this material. The main thing is that the adhesive is applied not to the wall, but not to the canvas. Therefore, it is better to apply the adhesive layer evenly.

Pure non-woven wallpaper is quite thin and transparent. Therefore, the glue should also be transparent and not yellow during the drying process.

• When finishing vertical surfaces, it is necessary to select a sufficiently thick adhesive composition, but not impregnating wallpaper;
• non-woven wallpaper is suitable for finishing any surfaces, and the quality of work largely depends on the selected glue;
• when working on highly absorbent surfaces, preliminary priming is necessary;
• when choosing non-woven wallpaper, it is best to give preference to specialized glue. It is he who has all the necessary qualities for the successful pasting of walls.

It is best that wallpaper glue for non-woven wallpaper meets the following requirements:

• fast dissolving for easy handling;
• good grip;
• simple and easy application;
• lack of color, transparency;
• thick consistency necessary to hold heavy webs;
• low material consumption;
• dissolving without lumps and drying without stains;
• absence in the composition of components that are harmful to human and animal health;
• the content of antiseptics that can prevent the formation of fungus and mold;
• low cost and long service life.

The best adhesives for non-woven wallpaper

The main requirement for glue for non-woven wallpaper is durability. This is due to the fact that due to the fact that they are made of dense cellulose fiber, they are quite heavy. Some adhesives simply cannot withstand their weight. Below are the 3 best adhesives that are suitable for non-woven wallpaper.

Quelyd Special non-woven

Quelyd is a French manufacturer of consumables used for wallpapering. Among other things, the company produces a huge number of adhesives for a wide variety of wall coverings. One of them is Quelyd Non-woven Spec. It is intended for gluing heavy non-woven wallpaper.

The composition of the glue is based on ordinary starch. But in addition to it, the number of ingredients includes various synthetic additives that significantly improve the properties of the product.

A distinctive feature of Quelyd Spets-non-woven is economy. One package is enough for 10 liters of ready-mixed mixture.

Unlike other adhesives, Quelyd Spec-non-woven, after dilution and swelling, becomes not mushy, but almost liquid. Despite the fact that many people do not like this, this property is more of a plus than a minus.The fact is that when there is a less dense substance between the wallpaper and the wall, it is easier to adjust them if any flaws are found.

One package, which contains 300 grams of the composition, costs from 200 to 300 rubles. This is a high price to pay. Cheaper imported counterparts cost about 150 rubles, and domestic ones are even cheaper. Nevertheless, it justifies the quality that the buyer receives for the money.

Quelyd Special non-woven

Metylan Non-woven Express Premium

Metylan is a trademark of Henkel, a well-known manufacturer of household chemicals from Germany. Mixes for gluing various types of wallpaper are produced under it. Metylan Non-woven Express Premium is designed for non-woven fabrics.
