The simplest wallpaper for painting are paper wallpapers.
But this is not ordinary paper wallpaper, but rather dense, saturated with water-repellent and consists of two layers.
Between these two layers of paper is a filler in the form of wood chips and sawdust.
The filler gives the paper wallpaper a beautiful embossed surface.
But, in addition to filler, to create a embossed surface, a method of producing paper wallpaper using embossing is used.
The production technology is as follows: first two layers of paper are glued together, then they are passed between special rollers, on which a special pattern is applied.
A convex pattern is applied on one roller, and a recessed shape on another roller.
Such a process of applying a picture to a roller allows squeezing it on a paper-based wallpaper.
In addition to embossed and embossed wallpapers, there are smooth paper wallpapers - such wallpapers also have two layers, but their surface is snow-white and even.
Paper wallpapers have drawbacks: they have low strength, and therefore, with inept and careless handling, they can tear, stretch or sag during operation.

non-woven wallpaper for painting: pros and cons
Non-woven wallpapers are of good quality and average cost.
The work has established itself as a durable wallpaper, as it is a nonwoven material made from cellulose and textile fibers, and the polymer binds these fibers.
