If you don't want to decorate the wall so hard, you can actually do some simple treatment on the cement wall. Industrial style design is to use the original ecological cement wall to create a special aesthetic feeling. If you also like industrial style design, you may wish to give play to your creativity.
first, how to decorate the cement wall
the requirement of wallpaper wall is flat. The cement wall is not smooth in this province, so it needs to be polished with sandpaper, and there can be no dust, small particles, cracks, holes, etc., otherwise it will have an impact. The best thing is to brush the wall with a basement membrane, which can make the wall smooth. First of all, do basic treatment: use putty to level the wall at the basic level. Next, choose a latex paint primer with reliable quality. Dulux's latex paint is good, as long as it is genuine, the quality is guaranteed. Primer is usually done once. Finally, the wallpaper basement membrane is painted. After that, you can paste your favorite wallpaper on the wall.
The advantage of brushing the basement membrane is that it is convenient to change the wallpaper in the future. After the old wallpaper is torn off, the wall is intact. It can penetrate into the base surface, making the base surface more firm and durable, and at the same time, it is not affected by the base surface, moisture, moisture and alkaline substances, so as not to flour the base surface.
cement walls can't be painted directly. Even if the wall feels very smooth, if the wall is not treated, there will be cracks, peeling and hollowing after painting directly. Moreover, direct coating may not cover the background color of the cement wall. Therefore, the interface agent should be painted on the cement wall first, and then leveling treatment should be carried out to ensure that the flatness of the wall is less than 4 mm. Finally, scrape the waterproof putty twice in batches. After scraping the water-resistant putty, just paint it. Putty can cover the gray of cement.
note: even the cement wall that looks smooth cannot be directly pasted with wallpaper or painted. Pursuing convenience in decoration can't omit necessary procedures, otherwise it will only bring you more trouble.
second, can the cement wall be pasted with wallpaper?
wallpaper can't be pasted directly on the cement wall. No matter how meticulous the work is, the cement wall can't stick to the wallpaper. Even if it is barely pasted, the seam of wallpaper is very obvious, and the visual effect is bad, and there will often be cracks and falls off.
Third, wallpaper the cement wall. Steps:
(1) Make the base. If you want the wallpaper to stick firmly on the cement wall, the grassroots is of course indispensable. It is suggested that you choose water-resistant putty, so that the wallpaper will not appear peeling, curling and other phenomena. Of course, it is necessary to apply varnish on the base two or three times, so that there will be no brush leakage, flowing and other phenomena.
(2) choose the primer. Latex paint is generally used as primer, and a layer of primer is brushed on the cement wall to avoid the influence of small particles on the wallpaper.
(3) coating the basement membrane. Of course, before pasting the wallpaper, you need to brush the basement membrane again, which will not only make the wallpaper stick more firmly, but also effectively prevent corrosion.
