ALL ABOUT OUR WALLPAPERS

In Spain there is a lot of wallpaper culture in home decoration. And we know very well why... Well, because the wallpaper dresses up the atmosphere! If you have a wallpapered wall, you need little else to make the decoration of this space a triumph. If we talk about decorating children's rooms with wallpaper, then the same logic holds. 

With such a developed market and many types of wallpaper available, it is normal to have doubts when choosing which one is most suitable for decorating a children's room. Some points are very important when making the decision: knowing what they are made of, if they are washable, if they have good durability and resistance, if they are easy to remove... To help you, today we will tell you everything about wallpapers ALF&mabi.

Composition:
We work with non-woven wallpaper. Well, what does that mean? Well, it is a material composed of cellulose and textile fibers. It has a textile support and an acrylic and varnished vinyl layer, which gives it an essential characteristic for children's rooms: waterproofness, thus making it possible for them to be washable. 

Characteristics:
In addition to being washable, non-woven wallpapers, which have long been one of the best sellers in the world, have other advantages. For example, if for whatever reason you decide to remove the wallpaper from the wall, this type of material is much easier to remove dry than other types of natural fiber textile-based papers. More positive points: they are quite resistant to breakage and have high resistance to wear and tear caused by sunlight.

Placement:
We also find advantages with woven-non-woven papers when applying to the wall. This type of material requires the wall to be glued. That is, the glue is applied directly to the wall, and not to the paper. This makes the installation process much easier.

Texture:
Our wallpapers have a slight embossing, that is, a discreet texture that visually provides a higher quality finish and also helps to hide if the wall has slight imperfections. It is ideal and we are sure that you will love it! 

Roll measurements and calculations:
Our wallpaper rolls measure 52cm x 10m or 53cm x 10m. They have, therefore, 5 square meters in total. An easy way to calculate the amount of wallpaper for a given wall is to first know how many total square meters the wall has, and then divide by 5 (in this case, the total square meters of our rolls). It is recommended to add 10% to 25% more, depending on whether the chosen model has to match the drawings or not, so as not to run the risk of running out of material. If the result does not give you a round number, you will have to round up. To measure the square meters of the wall, simply multiply width x length. 

To make life easier, you have a roll calculator on every product page of our online store. The calculator takes into account the match/rapport of each model, so you just need to add the wall measurements and the calculator will tell you the number of rolls needed.
