Types and features of wallpaper adhesives from the Quelyd brand

Glue properties and composition

The adhesive dry mixture is loose white shavings. "Kelid" consists of:

1. Cellulose additives that provide excellent adhesive properties and the desired consistency of the finished composition.
2. Ecologically safe insecticides for humans and pets, bactericidal components and fungicides that prevent mold and fungi from developing in the space between the wallpaper and the wall. The antiseptic properties of "Kelida" are especially important if the walls are covered with non-woven canvases or vinyl canvases, which do not allow air to pass through well.
3. The main component is modified starch or chalk. Mixtures with chalk additives are intended for vinyl wallpapers because they are heavier than paper ones.

On a note! Quelyd is recommended for use at temperatures from +5 to +25 degrees. If the room is too hot, the time for using the finished mixture is reduced, and problems may arise when gluing the canvases.

Closed bags of dry glue are stored for the period indicated on the packaging, and the finished composition retains its properties for more than 7 days. The liquid substance must be stored in an airtight container.

The price of the Kelid adhesive composition depends on what kind of paintings it is intended for gluing. The heavier the roll, the more expensive the product. But even the Quelyd mixture for paper wallpaper occupies the middle price segment in the domestic building materials market.

Main advantages

Quelyd does not operate on the principle of “quantity over quality”. The company demonstrates true French quality in its entire assortment, because it is not for nothing that the Kelid brand adhesive compositions are the most popular on the market.

The products have a whole list of advantages for which the company is so loved not only by ordinary amateurs, but also by professional workers.

Excellent adhesion

Thanks to its high-quality composition, the adhesive base of the mixture guarantees strong adhesion of any wallpaper to the wall surface. The presence of cellulose additives guarantees long-lasting adhesion even in hard-to-reach places, without the need for much effort.

An important fact is that if the canvas is incorrectly attached to the wall (the pattern does not match, the corner has moved and other problems), you can move the glued material to the desired place within 20-25 minutes.

Economical

An important advantage is the availability of the mixture. With excellent quality of the product, the Kelid brand keeps the price at an average level, which allows you to paste wallpaper even with a small renovation budget. But the low price of the product is not everything, because the material itself is consumed economically, which provides a way to save on the number of packages.

The consumption of a package weighing 250 grams will be 30-35 square meters, which is equivalent to 7 rolls.

Safety

Environmentally friendly ingredients and constant product quality controls guarantee the complete safety of Quelyd products. The use of the entire range is harmless to both people and animals.

Depending on the type of wallpaper

Experts say it is better to give preference to specialized species. They are produced taking into account the specifics of individual types of wallpaper, so it will be easier for a beginner to glue. There will be fewer problems with fixation. Working with universal formulations is more difficult, because it requires independent determination of the dilution density.

"Special interlining"

Wallpaper adhesive mixture, which is intended for non-woven wallpaper.

These compositions have good adhesive ability, are convenient to use and easy to prepare. Hermetically sealed, when prepared, they can be stored for more than a week. They are safe for the environment and people. You can buy them in dry and ready-made form.

Surface preparation

“Kelid” works best when gluing wallpaper to a clean, leveled wall. Before gluing canvases of any weight onto the surface to be decorated, it:

1. Thoroughly clean from dust, dirt, grease stains.
2. Remove the remnants of old wallpaper, adhesive paint, and peeling plaster.
3. Seal all holes, cracks, and smooth out any uneven areas with sandpaper.
4. If the surface is smooth and shiny, bring it to a matte state.
5. If necessary, treat with an alkaline detergent and rinse with water.
6. Dry it and start preparing the glue.

Mixture preparation process

The adhesive composition is mixed immediately before use, after the surface has been prepared and thoroughly cleaned. A person who does not have experience in preparing a liquid composition will be helped out by the detailed instructions printed on the product packaging.

Basic principles for preparing the adhesive mixture:

1. The required amount of cold, clean water is poured into a plastic container.
2. Continuously mix the liquid with a drill equipped with a special mixer attachment.
3. The dry composition is poured into the resulting funnel.
4. Pour out the required amount of the contents of the pack and stir until smooth, scraping the mass from the walls of the container.
5. Leave the finished mixture to stand for 5-10 minutes.
6. Stir before starting work to ensure the desired thickness and viscosity.

Materials and tools for cooking

When making glue, you don't need any items that you don't have at home. As a last resort, you can purchase all the items that you need at absolutely any hardware store, perhaps even at a hardware store.

It is extremely important that the items you use are perfectly clean, so they should be cleaned and washed beforehand.

Next, we'll look at the items you'll need to prepare:

1. Wallpaper glue, which can be purchased at a hardware store, is worth looking at what types of coatings it is intended for before purchasing, and then purchasing it.
2. A special container for cooking - a basin or a regular bucket is perfect for these purposes. Do not use a container that is too small or large. Since there is an option to face the fact that your solution will not fit, or it will be inconvenient to use it.
3. Clean water, the desired temperature should be - 25 degrees, then your composition will turn out without lumps. If your water is warmer, you should use a mixer and simply break up large lumps.
4. A stick to stir the solution, you can also use a construction mixer or a drill with a construction attachment. Some people use a kitchen mixer for this procedure, but you need to be careful so that the entire mixture does not scatter.

Applying glue and wallpapering

When the mixture is ready, cover the floors with clean paper and begin cutting out the wallpaper. If they have a geometric pattern, it needs to be joined on different canvases. In this case, cutting of the material is inevitable. If the wallpaper is smooth or has a small, dim pattern, you don’t have to bother with precise cutting.

The cut canvases are stacked on top of each other with the finishing side down, pushing each subsequent one slightly to the side. Let them sit for a while to straighten out.

The glue is applied with a roller or brush in a thick layer directly onto dry, cleaned wallpaper. The width of the adhesive strip should be greater than the wallpaper. As a rule, enough glue is applied to the wall to glue several canvases at once.

Important! Quelyd sets after 15-20 minutes, although it holds the wallpaper well, so adjusting the position of the canvases on the wall is quite easy. This makes it possible to carefully dock them.

Convenience, simplicity, cost-effectiveness, a wide range of products on the building materials market are qualities for which the French brand Quelyd is preferred not only by specialists, but also by people who require high-quality glue for independent work.

Description and purpose

Products of the Kelid brand are designed not only for a professional builder, but also for an ordinary person who does home renovations himself, because the company primarily thinks about the quality and ease of use of the compositions.

Among the assortment there is wallpaper glue for all types of fabrics. Of course, other companies often offer universal compositions, but such a compromise can not only reduce the quality of repairs, but even lead to re-gluing of wallpaper. The universal composition is an average option between all types of glue, which does not guarantee the durability of adhesion of all types of wallpaper.

Therefore, Quelyd offers a highly targeted composition for all wallpaper options - vinyl, fleece, glue for paper wallpaper, for glass wallpaper, and even indicator glue. We’ll talk about the features and methods of using each of them separately.
