ALL ABOUT OUR PAINTED PAPERS

In Spain, there is a lot of culture around wallpaper in home decoration. And we know very well why... Because wallpaper dresses up the environment! If you have a wallpapered wall, you need little else for the decoration of this space to be a success. If we talk about decorating children's rooms with wallpapers, the same logic applies. 

With such a developed market and many types of wallpapers available, it's normal to have doubts when choosing which is the most suitable for decorating a children's room. Some points are very important when making the decision: knowing what they are made of, whether 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 wallpapers. Well, what does that mean? It is a material made of cellulose and textile fibers. It has a textile backing and a vinyl acrylic and varnished layer, which gives it an essential characteristic for children's rooms: waterproofing, making it washable. 

Characteristics:
In addition to being washable, the wallpapers, which have long been one of the best-selling products worldwide, have other advantages. For example, if for any reason you decide to remove the wallpaper from the wall, this type of material is much easier to remove dry than other types of textile-based papers made from natural fibers. More positive points: they are quite resistant to tearing and have high resistance to wear caused by sunlight.

Placement:
"We also found advantages with non-woven wallpaper when it comes to applying it to the wall. This type of material requires that the wall be glued. That is, the glue is applied directly to the wall, and not to the paper. This greatly facilitates the installation process."

Texture:
Our wallpapers feature a slight embossing, meaning a subtle texture that visually adds a higher quality finish and also helps to conceal any minor imperfections in the wall. It is ideal, and we are sure you are going to love it! 

Roll measurements and calculations:
Our wallpaper wallpaper measure 52cm x 10m or 53cm x 10m. They therefore have a total of 5 square meters. An easy way to calculate the amount of wallpaper for a specific wall is first to 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 needs to match the patterns or not, to avoid the risk of running out of material. If the result is not a round number, it should be rounded 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.
