The surface of this type of wallcovering cannot touch glue, and it will be difficult to take care of if there are stains in the later stage.

The imitation silk wallcovering imitates the appearance of silk, with obvious silk shape on the surface. Generally, it is made of non-natural silk such as chemical fiber , three-dimensional sense is obvious, has better air permeability.

The surface texture of the natural hemp wide wallcovering is natural, the thickness is intertwined, and the cost is high. Cotton, linen, spun linen and other natural hemp wide-width wallcoverings are relatively rough, with good air permeability, but poor elasticity.

Yarn wallcoverings include spun yarns and rovings, which refer to wallcoverings whose surface is composed of yarns. The yarn that has not been waterproofed on the surface can see obvious fine velvet. This kind of yarn cannot touch the glue, and the stains are difficult to deal with, but the three-dimensional effect on the wall is strong and the effect is good.

The silk wallcovering is made of silk material, which is soft, thin, transparent, smooth, and has good air permeability. At the same time, the cost is also very high and the construction is difficult.

Vol.2 Classified by process

01 Floral wallcovering

The jacquard wallcovering is directly weaved with a jacquard machine in the production process. First, the lines are interlaced up and down to form different designs and colors, and then the jacquard wallcovering is made by composite technology. The jacquard machine is also divided into jet machine, electronic faucet jacquard machine, large rapier and so on.

Jacquard wallcovering is more resistant to high temperature and has good color fastness. The wallcovering that has been treated with three-proof can wipe the surface stains.

02 Printed wallcovering

Printing, as the name implies, is printed on the base fabric through various processes. The base fabric includes matt satin covering, non-woven fabric, linen covering and jacquard covering, etc., and is realized by rotary screen, flat screen, thermal transfer and other processes.

Vol.3 Classification by base

(1) Spunlaced cotton non-woven bottom wallcovering

The raw material contains pure cotton, which has a certain degree of shrinkage, good toughness, and good softness. It can be stretched to a certain extent during the construction of walls with many shapes.

(2) Coated bottom wallcovering

It is generally thin and has a certain tensile force. It has high requirements on the base course, good flatness on the wall during construction, and is not prone to the problem of glue penetration. When the temperature is low in winter, the coating bottom will become hard, which increases the construction difficulty.

(3) Cross cloth mesh bottom wallcovering

The bottom is a thin cross mesh wallcovering, the surface is mostly PVC, and the overall thickness is heavy. Construction is usually not easy to paste, it is recommended to use high adhesive glue thick glue thin coating.

(4) Hot glue wallcovering
