What Are The Precautions For Diatom Mud Wall Cloth Construction?

Jan 12, 2021

With the development of technology, there are more and more types of wall coverings. Different types of wall coverings have different construction methods. In the construction of wallpaper wall covering, different methods need to be used for different materials, so as to better present the construction effect. Today, I will introduce the characteristics of diatom mud wall coverings that are popular on the market recently, and the precautions for construction.

Features of diatom mud wall covering

Diatom mud wall coverings are also called imitation diatom mud wall coverings, colored mud wall coverings, and artistic paint wall coverings. Generally, they refer to wall coverings made by direct printing on spunlace cotton non-woven substrates with imitation diatom mud or artistic paint texture printing. . It is a non-woven wall covering that does not require warp and weft yarns to weave. Compared with jacquard wall coverings, it is very different in flexibility and ease of cleaning.


The diatom mud wall covering has the following characteristics:

1. It can imitate the texture of diatom mud and artistic paint, and the texture that can be made is rich;

2. Compared with the jacquard wall covering, the abrasion resistance and abrasion resistance are more prominent;

3. It is not easy to penetrate the glue.

4. The surface has a certain degree of water repellency, which is easy to take care of every day and can be wiped with a wet towel.


Precautions for construction of diatom mud wall cloth

1. Imitation diatom mud wall cloth has relatively poor flexibility due to material reasons, so you need to reserve more cloth when cutting. If the internal angle is not straight, local cutting can be adopted.

2. When constructing the inner corner, try not to scrape it up and down, so as to avoid whitening of the inner corner.

3. Because it is not a fabric wall covering that has no warp and weft threads, it can be spliced locally, and the splicing effect is better, but pay attention to the splicing position and whether the texture density is consistent to prevent color difference.

4. If the internal corner needs to be cut, pay attention to check whether the internal corner of the wall meets the standard (no arc or collapse is required). When cutting, use a thin scraper knife at 45 degrees, which will achieve the best results.

5. If wrinkles are found after construction, you can inject glue with a syringe and blow dry with a hot air gun.

6. It is not easy to apply too thick glue. Because of the poor air permeability of imitation diatom mud wall covering, too thick glue will not dry out easily.

7. Attention! ! The imitation diatom mud wall covering cannot be ironed at high temperature with a steam iron. The imitation diatom mud wall covering has poor color fastness. High temperature will damage the surface slurry and cause local discoloration.
