But modern technology does not pass over this area: long ago gained popularity with the use of PVC wallpaper and textiles, non-woven materials. Most of them get the final form by printing the picture wallpaper. Technical development of printing machines, the use of modern technology, methods of printing has given unprecedented in its beauty and richness range. Patterned and without a pattern, solid-color and multicolored, different width and density of the story - now they can satisfy all the aesthetic and quality requirements.

There are three basic types of wallpapers: normal, moisture-resistant and absorbent (nap).
Ordinary wallpapers can be not grunted (Figure is printed directly on white or colored paper), grounded (figure applied to the pr-painted surface of the paper), background (no picture, monochromatic matte painting), stamped (with relief protruding pattern).
Moisture-resistant wallpapers can be: printed, made in paint with water-resistant polymers; printed with a protective film on the front side, formed polymer emulsions and varnishes, obtained by applying a thin colored polymer film on a paper basis, followed by embossing in the form of groundless opaque polymer film with a printed pattern . These can withstand repeated washing with warm soapy water and have increased resistance to abrasion, so they are called washable.
Sound-absorbing wallpaper manufacture of paper-based with a front surface formed pile of various fibrous materials (mainly textile waste). Cleaning the surface of the sound-absorbing wallpaper is made a vacuum cleaner.
Materials used on wallpaper are also divided into several types.
Paper wallpapers made only of paper. When she single-layer, the wallpaper have a very good light fastness. However, the lack of them is that they are leaky and are transparent.

CD-vinyl wallpaper. The main material used in their manufacture - paper of different density, covered with a layer of PVC. Spaced paper exposed rotogravure printing, and after - the heat treatment. At the core material to make a drawing and paints that do not form a relief. Vinyl wallpaper are very durable coating for walls and at the same time on the appearance meet the highest requirements.
Embossed wallpaper on the fibrous carrier. Used for the manufacture of new single-sided waterproof carrier material. It consists of long fiber pulp, textile fibers and polymer binders. Moisture-resistant, washable wallpaper made from this material are ideal for bathrooms. Their distinguishing feature - is that they are well passed steam and air, well covered with camouflage cracks on the walls and stabilize the soft undercoat. Monochrome embossed wallpaper perfectly suited for further staining colors.
Granular wallpaper manufactured using relatively new technology. At the two-layer ex-foliating paper through the press to apply the adhesive, then the method of dispersion granules, forming a picture. Between the deep and screen printing installed corrugation pattern, which makes printing cloth look.
Structure-shaped wallpaper. Two-ply specially fibered paper dissects the foam paste. Get a white wallpaper, wallpaper coarse-fibered, with a plaster or fabric structure. They can be multicolored, different resistance to contamination.
