The main technical characteristics of wallpaper for the kitchen

Manufacturers indicate technical characteristics on the labels. Sellers do not always help at the point of sale due to employment or inexperience. Knowing the conventions, you can unmistakably independently select the roll material for finishing.Smooth canvases are suitable on a well-prepared base; in order to mask irregularities, you should choose heavy wallpaper with a relief. Correctly chosen characteristics will hide small defects on the wall surface.

Density

The density characteristic allows you to calculate the weight of the canvases per 1 sq. m. In this regard, they are divided into:

lungs - weight up to 110 g per 1 sq. m. This is most often single-layer wallpaper;
heavy - weight over 110 g per 1 sq. m., these include canvases with a multi-layer structure. The front layer of the wallpaper can have different textures and reliefs.

Vapor permeability

The vapor permeability indicator is not relevant if a good ventilation system is organized in the room, due to which air stagnation and the accumulation of condensate do not occur. When organizing the natural circulation of air flows, it is necessary to choose canvases that allow moisture to pass through.

Vinyl canvases, on the other hand, are moisture resistant, they collect condensation on the surface. Only the foamed type of vinyl has good vapor permeability. However, it is not suitable for kitchens due to its low water resistance.

Moisture resistance
