Applying priming emulsion is a key step before attaching wallpaper. Priming the surface not only improves bonding of the adhesive, but also strengthens the wall structure by reducing its absorbency. Proper substrate preparation ensures that the wallpaper remains in place for many years. It also prevents problems associated with wallpaper peeling off or uneven adhesion. To achieve optimal results, you should know how to apply priming emulsion in the right way.
Surface preparation
Before applying priming emulsion, prepare the wall properly. First, thoroughly clean the surface of all dirt, dust, greasy stains and old paint coatings that may weaken primer bonding. Remove any loose fragments of old paint or plaster on the wall and fill any holes with joint compound. After it has dried, smooth the surface with sandpaper to make it even and uniform. Now the wall is ready for priming, which will ensure better bonding of the adhesive and wallpaper. The Pronicel Group, which is CMC producer poland, sells Polish wallpaper adhesives.
How to choose and prepare the priming emulsion?
Choosing the right priming emulsion is as important as the surface preparation. Priming emulsions are available with different parameters, depending on the type of substrate they will be applied to. Pay attention to the information on the packaging in order to choose the right primer for your walls, whether they are made of plaster, gypsum, concrete or drywall. Before applying the emulsion, stir it thoroughly to ensure all components are equally dispelled. Some emulsions need to be diluted with water, as recommended by the manufacturer, to ensure better penetration of the substrate.

Application of the priming emulsion
Apply the priming emulsion with a paint roller, brush or spray head, depending on the size of the surface and your preference. Start at the corners and edges and then move on to larger areas. Make sure that the emulsion is spread evenly to avoid the formation of streaks or accumulations in a localised spot. Apply one coat of the emulsion, taking care not to repeat movements in the same areas to prevent uneven drying of the primer. Pay attention to the emulsion drying time, which may vary depending on the conditions in the room and the type of product. Follow the recommended drying time before attaching wallpaper.
