Ecological hypoallergenic wallpaper for walls

The fashion for everything environmentally friendly, from food to cars, is growing from year to year and is not going to give up its positions. People suddenly realized that catastrophic environmental pollution turns into intractable problems, including serious diseases, unknown to our ancestors.

Every person lives somewhere, and it is good when his house is his fortress, safe both outside and inside. A lot can be said about the ecological cleanliness of the home, but this article will focus on ecological and hypoallergenic wallpaper for walls, which is not exactly the same.

The first thing to consider when choosing environmental wallpaper is an eco label.

The second is the presence of a quality certificate and instructions with a list of components included in the wallpaper. Among them should not be artificial dyes, heavy metals, formaldehydes and other chemical compounds.

Ecological wallpaper for walls

All paper wallpapers are considered environmentally friendly. However, some of their types are made using chlorine-containing bleaches and synthetic dyes. Therefore, truly environmentally friendly paper wallpapers are those that are made from unbleached paper and dyed with natural dyes.

Environmentally friendly non-woven wallpaper is a non-woven material consisting exclusively of natural ingredients - cellulose and textile fibers, without any toxic additives.

Another type of environmentally friendly and safe wallpaper is textile, the raw materials for which are natural fibers of cotton, viscose, silk or linen, known for their bactericidal properties, and paper is used as the basis.

The most environmentally friendly wallpapers are glass wallpapers made from quartz sand and other natural materials. They are harmless, antistatic, resistant to mold.

What other environmentally friendly wallpapers are offered by modern manufacturers:

Linkrust, created according to the original technology without chemical additives. Liquid wall-paper from natural natural components. Metal wallpapers that protect against electromagnetic radiation - however, they have a drawback: they do not "breathe", therefore, in a room with walls pasted over with them, it is necessary to maintain good air circulation.

Environmentally friendly wallpaper for painting consists only of materials of natural origin that are safe for humans. This group includes paper, non-woven, glass and linkrust. They are painted with paints that do not contain harmful substances - dispersion, acrylic, water-based. And after painting, they remain breathable.

Eco style wallpaper

Newfangled eco-style implies interior design using environmentally friendly building materials, furniture and other decorative elements with a predominance of natural shades, floral ornaments, images of natural landscapes.

Eco wallpapers for walls are made from raw materials harmless to human health - bamboo, algae, reed, cork, coconut shell, straw, leather, wood veneer, suede.

However, today the term "Eco wallpaper" is used in a broader sense, including to refer to environmentally friendly wallpaper as such, and the abbreviation ECO can often be found in the names of brands and collections.

For example - Swedish eco wallpaper Wallpaper. They are not always decorated with drawings in the style of flora and fauna, but they are made of eco-friendly paper, the raw material for which is trees grown in an ecologically clean area. In general, all eco-friendly wallpapers produced in Sweden are of good quality and environmental friendliness.

Environmentally friendly Japanese wallpaper for walls and want to be called "smart". They are able to regulate the level of moisture, resist bacteria, freshen the air, absorb and neutralize allergens. Only there is a small nuance: the environmental safety of wallpaper does not guarantee their hypoallergenic properties.

Hypoallergenic wallpaper for walls

Not all environmentally friendly wallpapers are suitable for allergy sufferers. For example, paper, fabric, embossed - those are still dust accumulators. The exception is their varieties treated with antistatic impregnation, but then the question arises about the environmental friendliness of this impregnation.

Of course, allergies are different, so you need to choose hypoallergenic wallpapers individually. If it’s not dust that causes an allergic reaction, but mold or fungus, air-permeable wallpapers are suitable here: paper, textile, non-woven, the above wallpaper for painting and other types of environmentally friendly wallpaper, especially those with bactericidal properties: linen, cork.

But what kind of wallpaper is actually hypoallergenic in every sense - this is glass wallpaper. They inhibit the development of pathogens, do not gather dust, but stick them with harmless mineral glue.

Speaking of glue. Environmentally friendly wallpaper paste should be made from natural ingredients such as starch or casein.

Buy environmentally friendly wallpaper

The cost of environmentally friendly wallpaper, as a rule, is slightly higher than the cost of their synthetic counterparts. This is understandable - really high-quality materials are not cheap. If the manufacturer claims that the wallpaper is environmentally friendly, and the price for them is clearly underestimated, it would be logical to doubt the veracity of this statement.

If you are determined to buy hypoallergenic or eco wallpapers, it is better to choose reputable suppliers. And it doesn't matter which one you choose - let it be an online eco wallpaper store, Eco House - a liquid wallpaper manufacturer's dealer, or Ecostyle Moscow wallpaper factory. The main thing is to check eco-labels, certificates and carefully study the list of materials included in the composition.

Eco-friendly wallpaper for: apartment, bedroom, nursery, kitchen

It's great when the wallpaper for the bedroom is environmentally friendly, and even absorb sound - cork, for example. Thick paper, non-woven, fabric, liquid wallpapers also cope well with this function - they are all environmentally friendly and are quite suitable for the bedroom.

Among environmentally friendly wallpapers for a nursery, paper ones are usually chosen, especially if the child is small, because they understand that the artist will definitely wake up in him, and the walls will serve as an easel. Also good for children's ecological wallpaper for painting.

As for environmentally friendly wallpapers for the kitchen, it is desirable that they are washable, and glass wallpapers are just perfect. And do not write off vinyl eco wallpapers - there are some. They do not emit harmful substances, and thanks to micropores they “breathe”. You can distinguish them by marking with the sign of environmental safety.

Linkrust, textiles, any kind of eco-friendly wallpaper - bamboo, jute, leather, wood, as well as their harmonious combinations will look great in the living room.

Properly selected wallpapers can transform a space in an amazing way, add depth, expressiveness, and create the necessary atmosphere. However, when choosing wallpaper, it is worth considering not only their external characteristics, especially for rooms in which people with allergies and children will be. Their non-toxicity and safety for humans is also very important. Also, due to the depletion of natural resources and the constant increase in environmental pollution, wallpapers made from materials made from renewable resources are more preferable. wallpapers are now available in a large assortment and are quite easy to find if you know what to look for.

Guide how to choose eco-friendly wallpaper

What to look for:

paper wallpaper made using recycled paper or FSC-certified paper. Using recycled paper reduces pollution and energy consumption compared to making paper from new material. 3D wallpapers made from recycled paper have good acoustic properties and can be painted (however, I have not seen information about the sale of such wallpapers in Russia). FSC-certified wallpapers are made from trees grown in special, controlled forests. The FSC certificate is issued by an international organization called the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Paper wallpapers allow the walls to "breathe" and they are usually not very expensive. Their disadvantages include low wear resistance, the ability to absorb odors, lack of moisture resistance and fading.

Wallpaper from natural fibers. Although this wallpaper is not recommended when there are cats in the house, in all other cases they are good. These wallpapers are made from rapidly renewable materials such as seaweed, bamboo and reed, straw, linen, silk. Wallpapers made from natural fibers are very beautiful, they add warmth and naturalness to any room. They can be found in all sorts of colors and patterns. These wallpapers allow the walls to "breathe", they are quite durable, have high sound and heat insulation, but their cost is usually high and they tend to fade.

Cork wallpaper. These are eco-friendly wallpapers that are not afraid of the sun, moisture and fungus, have good sound and heat insulation, they are wear-resistant, elastic and hypoallergenic, and have a natural color.

Dyes on wallpaper must be water-based without chlorine and other harmful substances. You can find hand-painted wallpapers that can make any room special, but they are much more expensive.

What to avoid:

Vinyl (PVC)- a darling of the wallpaper industry. Thanks to their strength characteristics and a surface that can be smooth or embossed to hide wall imperfections, vinyl wallpapers have dominated the market for decades. Unfortunately, PVC coating has significant drawbacks. Vinyl production is a process with significant environmental costs. Even vinyl wallpaper pasted on a wall releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants into the air. Some scientists have linked vinyl wallpaper to diseases such as asthma and cancer. But the greatest danger of PVC lies in its decomposition products: chlorine, dioxins (highly toxic substances) and phthalates. When burning and the temperature rises above 220 °C, organochlorine compounds and heavy metals contained in PVC stabilizers are released, which can lead to human poisoning. Vinyl wallpaper does not "breathe", which encourages mold to build up between it and the wall in damp areas such as bathrooms.

Fire resistant wallpaper- you should not buy wallpaper with substances that prevent combustion (with the exception of wallpaper with borates, natural minerals), since these substances are released into the air over time.

VOC– can stand out for several years after gluing. Look for low VOC or VOC free wallpapers. Also, the wallpaper paste should be low or VOC-free.

Heavy metals- contained in some dyes, become a real problem when they end up in a landfill. From there, they can enter the groundwater and then return back to us. By opting for wallpaper that is free of heavy metals, you reduce the risk of drinking water deterioration for yourself and future generations.

What is the best thermal insulation? Assessment from the point of view of environmental friendliness

For many happy parents, the choice of finishing materials for the children's room becomes the most difficult task of all repairs. And indeed, you need to cover a whole range of nuances that all materials must meet. In this article we will talk about what wallpaper to choose for the nursery, and what should be guided by when making a decision.

The modern building materials market is full of a variety of types of wallpaper. From simple paper, to large format, with a photo or some kind of drawing.

In all this diversity, it is not surprising to get confused, and if, for example, for a living room or kitchen, you can be guided only by personal preferences and practicality, then for a children's room, there are much more nuances.

• The more versatile the pattern, the better.. Children grow fast and their tastes change much more often than you can re-paste wallpaper. Try to choose wallpaper with such a pattern so that the child does not lose interest in them for at least a few years.
• Dirt resistance. Everyone, even the cleanest children, will sooner or later get to the wallpaper. It is important that they are as resistant as possible to dirt and mechanical stress.
• Ease of cleaning. One way or another, but the wallpaper will have to be washed, and they must endure it. Moreover, some dirt cannot be removed with just water, so they will have to be washed with strong detergents.
• Safety and environmental friendliness. The child's body is very susceptible to all kinds of harmful materials that can cause an allergic reaction or even illness. That is why it is so important that the wallpaper for the nursery be made from natural materials and completely harmless.
• Color spectrum. A very important aspect that should not be forgotten. Any person is very susceptible to the colors that surround him. They can affect the psyche and change the emotional background, which is why it is so important that there are no annoying or overly gloomy shades in the children's room.

Important! When deciding on the question of what color to choose wallpaper for the nursery, be sure to consult with experts in the field of the child's psyche, who will tell you what shades it is desirable to avoid in the child's room.

natural wallpaper

Natural wallpapers are all those that are made without the use of synthetic materials.

The main group includes the following types:

• Non-woven. Fabric wallpaper, which may differ in base material. An expensive type of wallpaper with a relatively low resistance to dirt and mechanical damage.
• Paper. The most common type of wallpaper. Their main advantage can be considered a relatively low cost, but the overall technical performance will also be low.
• Cork wallpaper. Heavy and expensive type, characterized by increased stability.

It is believed that wallpapers made from natural materials (see How to glue natural wallpapers: do it right) are the most environmentally friendly. This is partly true, but do not forget that almost every type is produced with the addition of synthetic materials to the composition, which improve quality characteristics.

So, for example, non-woven wallpaper, most often have a vinyl base, and it is thanks to him that they can be wiped with a damp cloth.

Modern paper wallpapers also cannot be fully called natural, since synthetic types of glue are added to their composition, which make the material more stable and durable compared to ordinary paper. Another question is that it is unnecessary to be afraid of the word vinyl or synthetics, it is not necessary that they are harmful to health, especially since without their use, any natural material becomes fragile and unreliable.

As for the question of which wallpaper to choose for a children's room, it is natural materials that experts advise to bypass. Yes, they look very attractive, but very quickly become unusable. Especially if the child begins to show artistic inclinations, and draw on them with paints or even more so with felt-tip pens.

The liquid wallpaper

We deliberately put this type of wallpaper in a separate subheading, as they are fundamentally different from all other options. First of all, this is the way they are applied, that is, the wallpaper is not glued to the wall in the form of a canvas, but is applied in liquid form using a spatula or trowel.

The main advantage of this type of wallpaper is the fact that in case of damage or heavy pollution, you do not have to re-glue the entire room, but just soak the desired area with water, remove the old coating and apply a new one in its place. But it is precisely the fact that liquid wallpaper (see Finishing with liquid wallpaper: choose and apply correctly) easily dissolves in water and is their main drawback, since you can forget about wet cleaning, and even more so washing.

It is impossible not to mention the fact that it is quite possible to create any drawings from liquid wallpaper (see Liquid wallpaper and drawings: application technology), which gives just endless possibilities for the manifestation of your imagination.

Advice! If you decide to use liquid wallpaper in a nursery, be sure to watch themed videos before sticking, or read articles on the Internet where detailed instructions will be described. The process is quite simple, but you still need to know some of the nuances, especially if you do it yourself.

It should be noted that liquid wallpaper is quite easily damaged, but there is a way to significantly increase their strength - apply a layer of colorless protective varnish over the wallpaper. Such a coating is much more difficult to damage, but we must not forget that it will be much more difficult to restore it later.

unnatural wallpaper

Deciding on the question of which wallpaper to choose in the children's room, more and more people prefer this particular option. In particular, we are now talking about vinyl-based wallpaper.

A few years ago, the very word vinyl, or even more so polyvinyl chloride, scared off potential buyers, and the point here is not the low quality of the material or its harmfulness, but rather elementary ignorance. Modern vinyl is, of course, a product of the chemical industry, but, despite this, it is completely safe for health, and moreover, it is approved by regulatory authorities for use in children's institutions.

Unfortunately, this material is not perfect, and has equally both advantages and disadvantages. In order not to mislead anyone and not to draw idealistic pictures, we will simply talk about the most characteristic qualities of vinyl wallpaper.

pros

• Vinyl wallpaper is very thick., due to which, it is very difficult to damage them in any way, and this is true even for accidental contact with sharp objects.
• By themselves, the wallpaper is difficult to stain, since most of them have a protective coating on the surface that repels dust. But even if contamination has occurred, the wallpaper can be safely washed using strong detergents.
• Textures and patterns of vinyl wallpaper, can rightfully be considered the most diverse. The production technology allows you to apply any drawings to the surface, and even make wallpaper with a textured print, which makes it possible to choose exactly the option that will meet all the requirements.
• Relatively low cost. The price of vinyl wallpaper is several times lower than that of non-woven, or, especially cork.

Interesting! Many types of so-called natural wallpaper have a vinyl base, which provides more reliable adhesion to the surface, so you can’t call them completely natural, it’s more like a marketing ploy.

Minuses

• Vinyl, in itself, is a dense material that does not allow moisture to pass through at all, therefore the wallpaper is considered “non-breathable”, therefore it is necessary to ventilate the room more often, and carefully treat the wall with special antiseptics before gluing.
• By themselves, vinyl wallpapers are non-combustible and do not support combustion, but when melted, they begin to emit toxic gases that can significantly harm health.
• Vinyl is a dense and heavy material that creates an additional load on the walls. This fact must be taken into account when choosing glue.
• It will be very difficult to remove vinyl wallpaper if necessary. Unlike fabric or paper types, vinyl does not soak under the influence of water and soapy water.

As you can see, the quality characteristics of vinyl wallpaper are quite controversial, but one thing is for sure, if your child shows artistic inclinations and most often chooses walls for his creativity, then this is exactly the option that you need.

In this case, you can easily remove not only watercolors, but also complex felt-tip drawings.

Wall mural

When deciding which wallpaper to choose for a nursery, we strongly recommend that you pay attention to this option. Photo wallpapers are attractive for their diversity, you can pick up absolutely any thematic drawing, and even if nothing suitable was found in the stores, there is an opportunity to make a custom-made print in any large-format printing studio.

Wall murals can decorate any interior and become its key element, and it has been noticed that a child often loses the desire to spoil such wallpapers precisely because of their external attractiveness.

The main difficulty in the question of which wallpaper to choose for a nursery is to decide on the theme of the picture, because, as we said above, children grow up very quickly, and cartoon characters that are interesting for a very small child will become irrelevant in a couple of years.

That is why it is necessary to choose something neutral for photo wallpapers, for example, photo wallpapers depicting natural landscapes will look very interesting and relevant, they will not get bored for a long time, and will constantly set the child up for positive thinking, which is very important in our age of computer games and movies with violent scenes .

In addition to natural landscapes, prints with images of all kinds of animals will harmoniously look in the children's room. It can be both peace-loving horses (see. Horse wallpaper: how to use it in the interior), or lions or tigers. In any case, in the modern world, we really lack contact with nature, and such photo wallpapers, albeit partially, compensate for this lack.

And before choosing wallpaper for a children's room with photo printing, be sure to read the list below, which will help to fit them into the interior as harmoniously as possible.

• Try to avoid images with large objects. Such wallpapers will put pressure on the psyche, and make the interior uncomfortable.
• A minimum of aggressive colors, if we are talking about thematic drawings. With images of nature, there will be no such problems, since there all the shades are soft and non-irritating, which is why they are most often the choice of consumers.
• Wall murals visually expand the space of the room, but, despite this, they should not be glued to all the walls, since the resulting visual illusion will only disorient the child in space and introduce a certain dissonance into the interior.
• If the child is over 4 years old, do not try to impose your opinion on him in choosing a pattern for photo wallpaper, this will only cause negative. Try to come to a common opinion, taking into account the wishes of the baby and consulting with him.

Summing up all the above, we can conclude that murals for a nursery are an excellent choice with which you can kill two birds with one stone: create a truly original interior, and bring positive notes to it that will form the correct perception in the child the surrounding world.

And in conclusion

We hope that we were able to fully answer the question of which wallpaper for the nursery to choose. Then it's up to you, and most importantly, remember that wallpaper for a child should not only look interesting, but also carry the right emotional mood. Everything else is already the technical side of the issue, which, of course, can only be solved by adults.

Everyone has heard about the presence on the market of low-quality, unhealthy building materials. Therefore, the issue of choosing environmentally friendly coatings has become very relevant, in particular, many people are trying to purchase the most environmentally friendly wallpaper for walls, but which canvases should be preferred? Next, I will try to answer the question posed, and tell you which trellises are the most environmentally friendly.

What does "eco-friendly trellis" mean?

First of all, I note that it is not entirely correct to talk about which wallpapers are environmentally friendly. The fact is that all wallpapers comply with certain standards and do not cause harm to health, unless, of course, they are of high quality and certified.

Therefore, the main rule when choosing eco-friendly materials, and any, is not to chase the price, but to purchase products from well-known manufacturers in large stores. It practically does not matter what material they are made of.

But when buying "from hand", even the most, at first glance, safe paper tapestries may not be harmless.

But, most people, when talking about eco-friendly tapestries, mean canvases made from natural materials, and not just those that meet safety certificates. Therefore, further I want to tell you about four types of such wallpapers.

Types of eco-friendly trellises

So, we can say with confidence that the most environmentally friendly tapestries, if we talk about materials, are as follows:

Below we will take a closer look at all types of these tapestries.

Option 1: paper

Eco-friendly breathable paper wallpapers need no introduction. They are well known to everyone since Soviet times. True, since then the tapestries have nevertheless undergone some changes:

• Modern printing technologies have made them much more attractive. Often, with their decorative qualities, they are not inferior to more expensive counterparts;

• So-called duplex trellises appeared on sale, which are characterized by increased density and wear resistance.

The main advantage of paper tapestries is low cost. But durability, of course, leaves much to be desired. In addition, they are very afraid of moisture.

To increase the durability and moisture resistance of paper wallpapers, they can be varnished.

Option 2: non-woven

Many people question the environmental friendliness of non-woven wallpaper, but is there a reason for this? This material is made on the basis of cellulose fibers and modified, as a rule, with polyester. In other words, it is paper-like material.

As for polyester, ie. synthetic components, then you should not worry. This material is now often used to make clothes, bedding, etc. The only thing, do not forget what I said at the beginning of the article - environmental friendliness largely depends on the quality of the wallpaper.

By itself, interlining refers to environmentally friendly and breathable materials. Therefore, it should not be avoided.

Advantages. Among the positive qualities of non-woven coatings, we highlight several main ones:

• Strength and durability. With these properties, these tapestries are significantly superior to paper counterparts;
• Moisture resistance. Of course, the coating cannot be washed with water, but, nevertheless, it tolerates moisture much better than paper;

• Attractive look. As a rule, the material has a deep embossing, as a result of which it looks very interesting.

Flaws:

• Should not be used in wet areas. As I said, you can’t wash the canvases, so you shouldn’t use them for the walls in the bathroom;
• Textured surface. This leads to the accumulation of dust on the walls. True, not all types of this coating have deep embossing.

Option 3: fabric

For residential premises, fabric trellises are an excellent solution. They can be made of linen, silk, jute and other materials. The only thing, if you want the coating to be truly natural, pay attention to the absence of synthetics in the composition.

Advantages. Cloths have the following positive qualities:

• Design. Tapestries have a sophisticated appearance;
• Abrasion resistance. The surface pasted over by them can be cleaned even with a brush.

Flaws:

• High price. Fabric wallpapers are more expensive than all of the above analogues;
• Moisture resistance. The fabric quickly absorbs water, so this coating is not suitable for wet rooms;

• Bad stains. It is very difficult to remove dirt from fabric, especially fat.

Option 4: cork

If all of the above coatings require careful treatment, then bamboo eco-wallpaper for walls is absolutely undemanding to operating conditions. They can be used in the kitchen, bathroom or even on the balcony.

Advantages. Other advantages of the material include:

• Durability. Since the coating is not afraid of negative influences, it can last for many years;

• Heat and noise insulation properties. Cork is a soft porous material, so it can even insulate walls to some extent;
• Practicality. Cork sheets are not difficult to wash with your own hands.

Instructions for sticking bamboo wallpaper has its own characteristics. Therefore, before proceeding with their installation, read the recommendations from the manufacturer.

The disadvantages include only the peculiar appearance of cork cloths. Therefore, they are not suitable for every interior.

Price

Finally, I will give the cost of all of the above coatings:

The prices in the table are valid in the winter of 2017/2018.

Conclusion

We have got acquainted with the popular options for eco-friendly wallpaper and their types, which will surely help you decide on their type. Finally, watch the video in this article. And if you have any difficulties with the choice - write comments, and I will be happy to help you with advice.

Ecology of consumption.Home: In the world of modern home design, eco-friendly wallpaper for walls is far from the last position. Now such canvases have even received a separate name "ECO wallpaper", which reflects their environmental friendliness and safety for humans.

In the world of modern home design, eco-friendly wallpaper for walls is far from the last position. Now such canvases have even received a separate name "ECO wallpaper", which reflects their environmental friendliness and safety for humans. In addition, these canvases are composed of natural and natural ingredients, which reflects the desire of people to be closer to nature.

ECO wallpapers have really come into fashion, and not by accident. The search for clean and safe materials is dictated by the increase in the education of people and the deterioration of the overall environmental situation. Today, chemistry surrounds us from all sides. It is clear that our compatriots want to bring a natural, natural atmosphere into the atmosphere of housing. Moreover, the variety of choice of environmentally friendly wallpaper is quite large.

Since the topic of ECO wallpapers is likely to arouse the interest of readers, several articles will be published on the oboi-steny.ru website at once. There is so much information about environmentally friendly wallpaper that it is impossible to fit it into one small text. In addition, we will provide each of our articles with a mass of relevant photographs with finished works.

Characteristics and features of environmentally friendly wallpaper

First you need to understand that various finishing materials, which include natural elements, can belong to the category of ECO canvases. However, here it is also necessary to mention relatively natural wallpapers, in which there is only a small proportion of harmless artificial components (like paints and adhesives).

In any case, environmentally friendly canvases will be distinguished by a mass of positive qualities that other types of finishes do not have. It:

1. Harmlessness. Natural natural elements do not emit harmful particles that can in any way harm a person or a living being. Often, such components, on the contrary, act as antiseptics, “healing” the atmosphere of a residential building.

2. Comfort. Natural materials of ecological wallpaper easily let steam and air through, which makes being in a room a natural comfort. Air exchange with such a wall or ceiling finish does not suffer in any way, air flows move in normal mode. This means that the room is well ventilated, ventilated, it is easy to breathe in it.

3. Thermal insulation. The thermal insulation properties of natural materials have been tested by time. Of course, the degree of thermal insulation for different ECO wallpapers will be different, but it will be! And it's good twice. Firstly, the heat of the room will be stored inside. Secondly, external temperatures will have a lesser effect on the atmosphere at home.

4. Versatility. As you might guess, wallpaper for walls made from environmentally friendly materials is applicable anywhere and everywhere. This decoration is especially relevant in rooms where residents spend most of their time. For example, ECO wallpapers are good in bedrooms, recreation areas, children's rooms, workrooms and even nurseries.

5. Durability, practicality. Separate groups of ECO canvases are resistant to mechanical stress, moisture resistance. As an illustrative example, we can consider cork and bamboo canvases, consisting of a dense and durable natural material. Such a finish will serve you for decades, which is very profitable and practical.

Cons of eco-friendly wallpaper

Obviously, such luxury cannot be cheap. The greater the margin of safety materials are characterized by, the less artificial components they contain, the higher their exoticism, the more significant the price will be. Among the most expensive types of finishes, I would like to name:

palm leaf;
- reed stalk;
- high-quality textiles;
- exclusive wood fiber;
- special vegetable fiber;
- cork sheets.

In addition, the natural elements of ECO wallpaper are able to absorb pungent odors. For example, if you paste over the kitchen with such sheets, the finish will have to be changed very soon. This is the second negative point, which can be easily blocked by the same finishing varnish or wax impregnation.

By protecting the outer surface of the ECO linen, you significantly increase their service life, but varnishes will have to be selected especially carefully! Cheap and low-quality finishes can negate all the advantages of environmental wallpaper. published
