It is considered a classic to carry out repair work from top to bottom: finishing the ceiling, gluing or painting the walls, installing the floor. Russians traditionally do everything the other way around: they start with the floor and end with the ceiling. However, here too there is a situation where neither professionals nor apartment owners know exactly what comes first, wallpaper or suspended ceiling.

The question debated among professional builders and customers is “When to stretch the ceiling: before the wallpaper or after?” largely far-fetched. This is due to the fact that these types of finishing are performed by different groups of builders. The walls are covered by master finishers, the suspended ceiling (not to be confused with a suspended ceiling - these are different types of ceiling finishing) is installed by installers.

None of them want to make every effort so as not to damage the work of the previous team: when installing the ceiling, there is a risk of contaminating the already pasted wallpaper, and when pasting wallpaper, there is a risk of tearing or smearing the stretched film with glue.

In both cases, it is very difficult to clean contaminated finishing materials, and most likely impossible. In addition, installers are trying to prove that under the influence of high temperatures from the operation of a gas gun, wallpaper sheets can warp or simply lag behind the wall, so they have an advantage in performing their operation.

If the repair is carried out by a single contractor (one company or team), the problem of what used to be wallpaper or suspended ceiling is generally removed from the agenda, which will be discussed at the end of the article. When different teams work, the order of operations performed (first the suspended ceiling, then the wallpaper, or vice versa) is determined by various factors:

• type of trellis;
• wall type;
• panel tension method;
• type of materials for suspended ceilings.

Queuing nuances

Currently, teams of finishers and installers start work first in almost the same number of cases. This is explained by the fact that the team that arrived at the apartment first does its work first.

In practice, there has never been a case where arriving finishers suggested that customers first install a suspended ceiling and then stick wallpaper. This message also applies to installers. To understand who is right in the dispute, let’s look at the positive and negative aspects of both sequences of finishing work from the perspective of each group of specialists.

The opinion of the finishers is that first the walls, then the ceiling space.

First the wallpaper, and then the ceiling

The technology of installing a stretch ceiling after gluing trellises is actively defended by finishers. At the same time, they support their point of view with economic calculations - the initially installed finishing material risks being replaced due to damage or contamination. Therefore, the more expensive material should be placed second, and this is PVC film or fabric, which is even 1.5-2 times more expensive.

The advantages of this sequence include:

• safety of the stretched ceiling from mechanical damage with a spatula or knife when cutting the top of the trellis;
• there is no risk of contaminating the stretched film (fabric) with glue, liquid wallpaper, dyes (paintable wallpaper) or solvent;
• the top of the wallpaper hidden under the baguette, which increases the aesthetics of the pasting;
• the ability to continue work immediately after finishing the previous operation.

Disadvantages include:

• contamination of wallpaper sheets with dust when drilling holes in the wall for dowels - using a hammer drill in combination with a construction vacuum cleaner does not completely remove the problem - there is dirt, but in smaller quantities;
• risk of damage to the wallpaper when tucking the fabric under the baguette;
• the susceptibility of vinyl wallpaper to lose its original appearance under the influence of a heat gun;
• the need to stop work for 6-7 days for the wallpaper to completely dry;
• the ability of some types of wallpaper to peel off when there is a sharp change in the temperature in the room - under the influence of high temperatures (up to 80 degrees), some types of glue change their molecular structure and no longer hold the tapestry on the wall;
• difficulties when cutting the top of the wallpaper when removing it from the wall during replacement - any careless movement of a spatula or knife can damage the stretched canvas.

The installers consider - first installing the ceiling, then gluing the wallpaper.

First the ceiling, then the walls

In conditions where the top is installed first, and the wallpaper needs to be glued second, there are also positive and negative sides.

Among the advantages:

• the ability to remove dust from drilling holes when attaching the baguette without damaging the wallpaper - it has not yet been glued;
• no consequences from the operation of a heat gun;
• opportunity to immediately begin gluing trellises.

• the risk of damage or contamination of the ceiling canvas during the process of finishing the walls, which will lead to significant material losses.

With this technology, the operating algorithm is as follows:

1. a frame under the ceiling sheet is attached to the prepared surface;
2. stretch the cloth;
3. install plugs and moldings (plinth);
4. tape the trellises.

From the arguments given by professionals, it is still not clear whether the suspended ceiling is after wallpapering or before.

We emphasize that this is from the point of view of builders, finishers and installers. They, in our opinion, are subjective, which will be discussed below.

Who has the stronger arguments?

In their arguments, the builders developed a system to determine the order of work. In their opinion, when home owners choose light-colored wallpaper, the risk of contamination when drilling into the wall tends to 100%.

Therefore, the wallpaper should be glued after installing the ceiling. But this disadvantage is not actually such - the wall can be covered with plastic film, securing it with tape on top. After installing the baguette (not the ceiling), the screws are loosened a little, and the film is easily removed (after removing the film, the hardware is screwed in until it stops).

The same applies to vinyl wallpaper - they can also be covered with film from the effects of a heat gun.

The assumption about the high risk of contamination of the ceiling with glue, paint, and solvent does not stand up to criticism. Here, just as in the case of wallpaper, the ceiling can be covered, but not with film, but with masking tape around the entire perimeter. After completing the work, the tape can be easily removed without leaving any traces (it is strictly forbidden to stick stationery tape - it will leave traces of glue visible in any light).

You can avoid cuts to the ceiling not only in theory, but also in practice if you glue the wallpaper to size. In this case, their top is placed close to the bottom of the baguette - there is no need to cut anything. If you need to draw a pattern, then this must be done on the floor in advance, and then cut the sheet to size.

A number of builders suggest using fabric instead of PVC to avoid the effect of a heat gun on wallpaper glue if the wallpaper is already glued. But replacing the material greatly affects the family budget. The solution to the problem, as in the case of vinyl wallpaper, is in a plastic film that covers the walls. Buying it is several times cheaper than switching to a fabric ceiling.

The problem of cutting wallpaper when the ceiling is finished is also a little far-fetched. Working simultaneously with a wide spatula and a knife with a replaceable blade, the wallpaper can be cut without problems. The main thing is not to rush.

This once again confirms the thesis that the problem of queuing was artificially invented by construction teams.

Optimal finishing technology

Involving a single contractor in renovating an apartment (house) makes it possible to apply a step-by-step method of finishing walls and ceilings. This, as noted above, eliminates the problem: what comes next, wallpaper or suspended ceilings.

Please note: two different teams will refuse the phased technology or will require compensation for downtime during the work of their subcontractors.

The step-by-step work scheme consists of the following operations:

1. preparing walls for gluing trellises;
2. fastening the baguette;
3. covering walls with trellises;
4. stretch ceiling devices.

This procedure allows you to eliminate possible problems:

• there is no curvature of the baguette strip, and therefore no gaps and cracks are formed due to uneven surfaces of the wall - it is leveled;
• the wallpaper does not become dirty - the dust formed during the fastening of the frame (baguette) for the tension fabric is removed;
• there are no risks of cutting the ceiling panel - there is no need to trim the wallpaper either now or during subsequent repairs in a few years;
• the stretched ceiling cannot become dirty - the trellises are already glued.

Conclusion

If you plan to install a suspended ceiling, you need to think about the choice of people who will carry out the repair work, and not about what comes first, wallpaper or suspended ceiling. Specialists will independently figure out what to do first and what second.

Indeed, from the technological side, the order of work performed does not play a big role if the repairs are carried out by highly qualified specialists. They are obliged, to the best of their skills and experience, to hang wallpaper and stretch the ceiling without defects. If any mistakes occur in the work, then all mistakes made are corrected at the expense of the performer.

You can only glue the walls yourself before installing the stretch ceiling. The latter is best left to specialist installers.

The question of where to carry out repair work first - on the walls or ceiling - has been asked since the advent of tension films.

You really don’t want to dust off the fresh gloss that reflects the entire room. It’s also a pity for expensive wallpaper if it suddenly gets damaged while working with the stretch fabric. To understand this issue, we will try to follow the process of repairing ceilings and walls step by step.

Process Features

Whatever work has to be done first, each will be to the detriment of the other. When installing a baguette under a stretch fabric, holes are drilled in the wall, which produces a lot of dust, and fresh wallpaper can be damaged. In addition, the installation of the canvas itself involves high temperatures. No one knows whether the wallpaper will like it.

There is a way out. Carefully prepare the walls for pasting and invite specialists to install the baguette (do the most dusty work), then paste the wallpaper and again invite workers to install the ceiling. The method is good, but there is one problem - the craftsmen will not agree to such a lengthy method of work.

To understand the features of the process, and at least get closer to figuring out what to do first, you need to try to figure out what a suspended ceiling and wallpaper are.

The canvas itself is a fabric base or a PVC product, which can be matte or glossy. Installed on a specially prepared metal or plastic frame.

If the ceiling was planned to be multi-level, all work with plasterboard should have been carried out in advance. First, the old finish is removed, the ceiling is cleaned well, otherwise in the future finishing debris will fall onto the tension fabric. Then it’s time to treat fungal stains (if any). Before installing the ceiling, all electrical work must be completed.

Wallpaper is a roll of various types: paper, non-woven, vinyl. Many people had to glue them. To begin with, the walls are leveled, and a layer of glue is applied to the dried surface (if the wallpaper is paper, the glue is also applied to the canvas). Then the coatings are placed on the base, glued well, and air bubbles and excess glue are squeezed out with a roller.

There is nothing complicated about this, but there are two types of developments: either the wallpaper is pasted in front of the ceiling installation and pressed down with a baguette (in this case they look neat), or after that the top of the canvases will have to be carefully trimmed, trying not to damage the ceiling structure.

What is the sequence?

Let's try to understand what is better: to stretch the suspended ceiling before or after wallpapering. To do this, consider both options.

First the wallpaper, then the ceiling

If you decide to act in this way, it is worth considering the need for a break of 4-5 days between pasting the walls and installing the ceiling. The wallpaper must dry well before the heat gun works..

Some experts believe that you should first work with the walls and align them perfectly, otherwise the ceiling panel may be skewed.

The main danger of pre-gluing is contamination of the walls when working with a hammer drill.

If traces of brick remain on the wallpaper, it will be quite difficult to remove them.

A hammer drill equipped with a vacuum cleaner would help solve this problem to some extent. Gluing the canvases before installing the ceiling frame will result in them getting under the baguette. It will press down the top edge of the canvases, which will make it difficult to dismantle the wallpaper during the next repair.. The positive thing is that the top contour of the wall is perfect.

You can opt for liquid coatings. They are beautiful and modern, but the risk of staining the finished ceiling when working with a spatula increases.

If you have to glue wallpaper for painting, the risk of staining the ceiling becomes even greater. On the other hand, high temperatures during installation can affect the quality of the paint at the base of the ceiling. The same problem can happen with liquid wallpaper.

First the ceiling, then the wallpaper

If the wallpaper is light and delicate, it can be irreparably damaged during the installation of a stretch ceiling, so it is better to paste it over at the last stage of repair. In addition, a lack of professionalism among those working with the ceiling can lead to mechanical damage to the wallpaper.

Pasting the walls, Care should be taken to work with the top edge of the sheets so as not to disturb the ceiling plugs. Everything will work out if you show diligence, but during the next repair the wallpaper can be easily dismantled.

Both options have their pros and cons, but responsibility for the choice always lies with the owner.

Important nuances

The issue of order has not yet been clarified. What to do first, install suspended ceilings or work on the walls? Wallpapering, as well as installing a ceiling, have their own nuances. When working with walls, there is a chance of damaging or staining the stretch fabric, but it is virtually eternal, while wallpaper can be re-pasted every year.

When a profile is placed under a suspended ceiling, there is a possibility of contamination of the wallpaper, and there is also a fear that it will not withstand high temperatures. In this case you can abandon the PVC surface in favor of fabric, which is mounted using a cold method.

And one more nuance - the profile for a woven ceiling requires shallower drilling, which means there will be less dust. However, well-dried wallpaper can easily withstand temperatures of 60-70 degrees.

The PVC film needs to be heated to soften it. The prepared canvas is immediately tucked under the profile using special tools. The gap between the material and the wall is masked with plugs. They are the first to suffer from poor quality wallpaper work.

An important nuance: any suspended ceiling can be installed in the presence of wallpaper, even in a room furnished with furniture. Sliding wardrobes and curtains are also not a hindrance to this process. You'll just have to use a vacuum cleaner afterwards. But, if the renovation has just begun, you need to ask yourself many times what to do first.

But what if the renovation was done a long time ago and you need to re-stick the wallpaper without damaging the ceiling? Dismantling should be carried out very carefully, especially if the wallpaper was pasted at the initial stage and fell under the ceiling profile. They will have to be released without damaging the canvas.

To complete the work you will need a spatula and a construction knife. Carefully insert the spatula between the ceiling and the knife. Moving them along the walls, slowly cut off the old wallpaper. In this way, you can protect the material from being cut, even if the knife comes off.

It is much easier to remove the finish if you wet the walls with water and wait a while.

After studying the workflow, we expected to immediately get an answer to our dilemma. There is no answer, you will have to turn to specialists.

Experts' opinion

The renovation is coming to an end and it is hoped that experts will shed light on the sequence of construction work.

Craftsmen believe that it is better to cover the walls and then install the ceiling. The arguments are the same: there is a risk of damaging or staining the walls; in addition, high temperatures are unfavorable for fresh wallpaper. Perhaps these craftsmen are afraid of responsibility for dusty walls.

Other experts, on the contrary, advise installing the ceiling after gluing, fearing for the canvas, which can be damaged with a construction knife when cutting wallpaper. And glue and paint, getting on the canvas, will ruin it forever.

There is no clear opinion even among professionals, because the material for work, the premises, various nuances - everything can be extraordinary, requiring an individual approach.

Successful examples and options

In conclusion, I would like to dwell on the aesthetic component of the work done. If you see how beautiful the ceilings and wallpaper have become, the answer to the question of what to do sooner may emerge by itself. Or it may not work out.

Stretch ceilings have always been an interior decoration. It can be amazing and mysterious, like a country through the looking glass. With it, the room is filled with colors, it seems larger and brighter. Ceilings come in different types and have their own design and style.

Matte

Absolutely flat surface without a hint of reflection. The texture resembles a classically painted canvas. Used for large rooms.

The matte finish is so neutral that it suits any style. Soffits will be good equipment for the ceiling, or other sources of bright light, because the matte canvas does not reflect light.

Glossy

A good option for small rooms. They get the opportunity to visually double in size. Moreover, the dark gray fabric has a stronger reflectivity.

Spotlights (even with a weak glow) on such a ceiling look like stars. By building multi-level compositions using plasterboard and placing a canvas in them, they achieve the effect of an almost natural image of water or sky.

Fabric

Despite its textile origin, the fabric is still processed with polymers and acquires special strength.

Satin

The texture is reminiscent of satin (the surface is slightly shiny), and if equipped with the appropriate pattern, it will be difficult to distinguish it from fabric.

Everyone knows where theater begins. But any renovation, especially if the owners of the house strive to achieve European levels and standards, starts from the ceiling. When all the unpleasant work associated with dust and construction waste is completed, the time comes to directly translate your design delights into reality.

A suspended ceiling can be installed before wallpapering if the walls are already prepared for wallpapering.

With their gaze dreamily directed upward, many choose to install suspended ceilings. These building elements not only look practical and beautiful, but are also a very fashionable trend in interior design.

Advantages of suspended ceilings

Stretch ceilings are easy to install in any room. Such designs will look great in residential, children's and bathrooms, as well as in offices and public buildings.

If the design provides for the installation of a baguette, then the wallpaper can be glued after installing the stretch ceiling.

After installation, we obtain a perfectly flat surface that easily masks any unevenness and flaws in the old ceiling, without visually reducing the height of the room as a whole.

The material from which the stretch ceiling fabric is made is environmentally friendly, durable, fireproof and waterproof. So you don’t have to worry about the neighbors upstairs causing a flood. No special care is needed. Once installed - live for your pleasure!

The price of the design will please anyone. Stretch ceilings are quite affordable compared to other ceiling systems.

Unlike the labor-intensive process of gluing wallpaper or other finishing to the ceiling, installing a suspended ceiling is simple. It does not require special preparation and does not take much time. After four hours of fruitful work, the process can be considered completely completed. The only condition is the absence of construction debris and dirt, which can damage the integrity of the material.

We install suspended ceilings

If after installing the ceiling it seems uneven, do not worry - as it cools down it will take its ideal shape.

What are suspended ceilings? This is a profile installed around the perimeter of the ceiling and a polyvinyl chloride fabric that is stretched over it.

If you decide to create a ceiling with your own hands, keep in mind that the profile for stretching ceilings can be aluminum or plastic. It is logical that the aluminum profile is more resistant to various types of deformation, which means it will last longer.

You will need a standard set of tools:

• perforator;
• roulette;
• screwdriver;
• level;
• construction hair dryer or heat gun.

You should find the lowest point of the ceiling and retreat 3 cm. This will be the level of your desired ceiling.

The next step is to stretch the fabric onto the profile under high temperature. The most proven, practical and reliable method of stretching the canvas is the harpoon method. In this case, the canvas is attached to the profile with special harpoons. This system is good because it allows, if necessary, to easily dismantle and reinstall the object.

Stretch fabrics are a popular finishing option that has moved from the category of luxury to an ordinary, attractive interior solution. They allow you to get a perfectly flat surface and reliably hide differences in slabs, cracks and other flaws. We are also pleased with the service life, which, when using high-quality material, reaches a quarter of a century. It’s just that the question of how to hang wallpaper under a suspended ceiling has not yet been resolved in the minds of ordinary people so that minimal damage is caused to both surfaces and does not worsen the finishing result.

Nuances of the proximity of wallpaper with a suspended ceiling

To fully understand the issue, let us recall: a suspended ceiling is a finishing technology that involves stretching a fabric made of PVC or special fabric at a certain distance from the rough ceiling. The material is most often fixed with plastic or metal baguettes, secured around the perimeter of the room with dowels.

The question arises: how to paste wallpaper and not spoil the stretch ceiling? If you do the opposite and start by gluing the wallpaper strips, then the baguettes will tightly pull them to the walls and subsequent re-gluing will become problematic. We suggest you figure out how to act correctly in such a situation.

Reasons why it makes sense to wallpaper first

Let's look at the arguments in favor of wallpapering before gluing.

• Finishing the ceiling and floor is done last, because decorating the walls is a dirty and dusty business. However, in modern realities, the argument is controversial, since everything depends on the materials used, technologies and the skill of the finisher.
• When fixing the wallpaper strips, there is a possibility that the stretched ceiling sheet will be stained with glue, after which it will be difficult to clean. It is also difficult to classify such an argument as “reinforced concrete”, because the modern building materials market offers such a useful thing as masking tape that can protect adjacent surfaces. In addition, wallpaper glue is soluble in water, so it is quite possible to wash it with warm liquid.

• If wallpaper for painting is used, painting the upper section of the wall without touching the tension fabric is impossible. As in the previous argument, masking tape is a panacea for this kind of problem.
• When the tails of the wallpaper strips are placed under the baguettes, the visually unattractive joint between the wall and the ceiling will not be visible. Here I would like to note that if a competent finisher is hired, then the joint is invisible in any case. In all other situations, you can use special skirting boards or similar shaped elements to hide the boundaries of finishing materials and create an aesthetically attractive design for such a transition. The photo below shows an example of the organic use of ceiling plinths when equipping a tension structure.

Judging by the reviews of professionals, the position that wallpaper is glued first is defended by self-called “specialists” who have little understanding of modern construction technologies. That is why they follow the simplest path in their opinion, although its rationality is very doubtful.

We propose to begin to consider the arguments voiced by supporters of the priority installation of the ceiling structure.

• When installing the ceiling, a heat gun is used, which gets very hot and can damage the finished wall decoration. This argument is quite controversial. It has the right to exist only if the installation of the canvas is carried out by an inexperienced craftsman who does not know how to handle a heat gun. In all other cases, the room will not warm up much, and the flow of hot air will not be directed directly to the wall.
• The cost of the tension structure equipment is many times higher than the price of the wall covering, and its service life significantly exceeds the life expectancy of the wallpaper, so we emphasize that over time it is they, and not the ceiling canvas, that will be replaced. This argument is completely logical and difficult to argue with.

• During the installation of a tensile structure, a large number of holes are drilled, which will lead to dust on the finish, especially if the room has concrete walls. The resulting dust will settle on the fresh wallpaper and ruin its appearance. The pollution that arises in this way can, of course, be removed, but the argument is quite valid and makes you think.
• The instructions for installing film ceilings state that the installation of baguettes is carried out on a wall that is fully prepared for final finishing. Simply put, the manufacturers themselves advocate precisely this procedure.

• When the primer has dried, the walls are coated with an adhesive composition (if we are talking about non-woven or non-woven vinyl canvases). This process is also accompanied by the risk of staining the fabric of the tension structure. You should also use masking tape here. When gluing a paper-based material, the glue is applied not to the wall, but to the canvas, but there is no need to discard the adhesive tape; it will protect the coating in case the edge of the wallpaper soaked in the adhesive composition accidentally touches the ceiling.

When working with cutting tools, be extremely careful, because even the slightest cut can cause irreparable damage to expensive material. If you still need to trim the strip, you can apply a spatula to the wall, pressing it against the wallpaper, and cut off the excess part, leaning on it like a ruler.

• Wallpaper gluing begins immediately after applying the glue. Alignment is performed below the ceiling line. You can read about all the intricacies of gluing vinyl sheets on paper backing, and about the rules for working with vinyl coating on non-woven fabric.

If it was not possible to glue the wallpaper so that the upper edges joining the ceiling form a perfectly straight line, you just need to hide the imperfections with a beautiful ceiling plinth or edging.

You can familiarize yourself with the algorithm for performing the process using training videos.

When carrying out repair work, it is important to know the correct sequence. Is the suspended ceiling installed before wallpapering or after? The question baffles even experts. Let's try to figure out the optimal procedure.

Choosing the right option

Arranging a new room involves the following types of work:

• dismantling old coatings;
• surface preparation;
• fine finishing.

If you first hang wallpaper, you need to level the walls, otherwise all the defects will become noticeable.

Subsequently, the surface is primed and glue is applied. Wallpaper is trimmed at the edges. If necessary, baguettes are pre-placed.

When installing a tension structure, a suspended frame is made. Special profiles are attached to the concrete ceiling and along the upper perimeter of the walls. These works are performed after leveling in order to create straight lines and create a perfectly smooth coating.

In principle, it is possible to carry out these actions in one or another order. Compare the pros and cons of each algorithm in advance and choose the appropriate option.

Preparation

Ceilings can be installed independently before or after wallpapering; first you need to level the walls.

This can be done in different ways:

• Puttying. Applying a layer of starting plaster to eliminate the most obvious defects, and then leveling the walls with the finishing mixture.
• Installation of drywall on an aluminum frame. A sheathing is constructed onto which the gypsum boards are attached. Additionally, puttying is carried out to bring the surface to an ideal condition.
• Gluing drywall to plaster. In this case, the first and second methods are combined with some technology changes. This option is suitable for walls with not very noticeable differences.

It is not worth installing the ceiling forward, as it creates obstacles to the quality of leveling work. It is also important to remember the amount of dust that is generated during rubbing of uneven surfaces after puttying.

When the walls become smooth, you can begin further work.

Ceiling to wallpaper

Let's consider the first option to resolve the issue. If you make a tension system before gluing, this will avoid some difficulties in the future. For example, all holes will be drilled without the risk of damaging or dusting the finish. In addition, it should be remembered that the canvas is stretched in a heated state. Sharp temperature fluctuations are detrimental to some types of wallpaper.

However, if the ceiling is installed first, you will encounter a lot of disadvantages:

• Difficulty applying primer and adhesive because they can stain the finish.
• Risk of damage to the canvas when cutting the edges of wallpaper sheets.
• The possibility of distortion of the color of the material when foreign substances come into contact with it. Solvents are especially dangerous.

To protect the canvas and frame, you can glue the ceiling perimeter with masking tape.

If this is neglected, part of the finishing may fall off or become blistered.

In general, this sequence of work is considered far from ideal, since there are more risks than benefits. Therefore, it makes sense to use it when an alternative is not possible or is associated with even greater process shortcomings.

Wallpaper to the ceiling

A more suitable option is to first arrange the finishing of the walls. The following facts support this decision:

• High quality processing. It becomes possible to better coat the surface of the walls with glue and primer, without the risk of touching the beautiful and expensive ceiling.
• Protection from damage and dirt. When installing a tension structure, there will also be dust, but much less.
• Simple adjustment of wallpaper at the joints. You do not risk cutting off part of the ceiling trim.
• Free movement of the canvas. To align the side joints or the pattern, you will have to move the wallpaper sheet, in the process you can stain the finished ceiling with glue.

We must not forget about the disadvantages of this approach. These include:

• The covering of the walls will be partially behind the tension structure, and therefore during the next repair you will have to first make cuts and carefully peel off the old wallpaper.
• Dust from drilling holes in the frame system will settle on the walls. You can protect the material with a special tool with a vacuum cleaner or film.
• The high temperature created by a heat gun can damage the wallpaper, but if safety rules are followed and the coating is properly dried, such risks disappear by themselves.
• Mechanical damage during installation cannot be ruled out, but this largely depends on the level of accuracy of the workers.

As you can see, it is possible to prevent the negative consequences of repairs in this case, and the end result will look better and more advantageous.
