Dispelling myths: do liquid wallpapers show through on drywall?

14 April 2020

Well, let’s dispel the myth about whether liquid wallpaper shines on drywall or other surfaces? Liquid wallpaper, or silk plaster , is a cellulose-based finishing material. For decorative purposes, mineral chips, polymer beads, algae and glitter can be added. The composition also includes a binder based on glue. For use, it is best to choose a dry room without high humidity, since when water gets in, the material softens. Liquid wallpaper has many more advantages than disadvantages. The most important thing is environmental friendliness, plasticity of the material, insulating properties, ease of application, maintainability and a very large selection of colors and shades. Apply to almost any surface using a transparent spatula. Afterwards, it is leveled with a roller or trowel over the entire surface of the wall.

The fact that they are enlightened is not true! They are not illuminated if the whole technology is done correctly, that is, the correct base should be white (finishing putty), or ideally the original primer of each manufacturer. This is a mandatory rule so that after drying the color of the wallpaper does not change its tone, and also, do not forget to prime the surface. Any liquid wallpaper can be applied perfectly to any surface, including drywall or OSB, but there are several points that are worth paying attention to. Drywall or OSB is fastened with metal screws, which can rust over time, and in order to avoid the appearance of rust stains on the wallpaper, we recommend that you always putty the screw heads.
