But if you see inexpensive vinyl from an unknown manufacturer with a strange odor on the counter, you better pass by. Such wallpapers can actually emit harmful substances.

Vinyl does not have pores, and therefore air exchange is impossible. But this is not so much a disadvantage as a feature: vinyl loves good ventilation in the room. Otherwise, under the wallpaper may appear mold and fungus, which gradually appear outside. Therefore, these wallpapers are not suitable for those who live in places of high humidity, on the top floor or in an apartment, on the walls of which there is already mold. But if this does not apply to your home, then feel free to choose vinyl wallpaper. They can be glued where the humidity level is 60-70 percent, good ventilation and heating.
