Before the technological chemical revolution took place 50 years ago in the former Soviet Union, paper wallpapers were the main and only decor of apartments and houses. And they were in short supply. Later, vinyl, non-woven coatings appeared. Today they are the main rivals of paper trellises, bamboo and other finishing materials.
The first in conversations is called polyvinylchloride or PVC, although they are a real chemical radical with a complicated formula. The household "vinyl", which began with flexible records, won a place in the market of finishing materials.

paper wallpaper
Paper wallpapers came from the countries of East Asia, and in Europe they spread in the 18th century. They went from all types of wallpaper, turning these tapestries into the classics of finishing the walls and ceilings. They would have long since sunk into oblivion, if they had not been constantly improved both on the upper layer of the covering (external charm) and the lower one (strength and ability to gently lay on the walls). Contemporary wallpaper in the interior will decorate both a large and small apartment, a country house.
