Fine fibers from raw materials are obtained by heating up to 1200 ºC, then the blanks are sent to looms. Finished wallpapers of the 1st grade are sold in rolls 1 m wide and 25, 30 and 50 m long.

Recommendations for choosing glass and working with them

You need to choose the material taking into account how often you plan to repaint it. Pay attention to the density of the wallpaper: the higher the indicator, the stronger and more durable they are. The best option is glass fiber with a density of 100 g / m². Such material is able to serve real 15-30 years and withstand up to 20 repaints.

Focusing only on the density indicated on the package is not worth it. It is better to choose not a flat material, but a wallpaper with a texture.

They better hide minor defects on the walls, and after contact with glue they become not as soft as flat glass wallpapers without a pattern.

When working with the material, we advise you to:

  • Carefully prepare for gluing. The base must be primed and treated with 1 thin layer of adhesive 12-24 hours before the start of work.
  • Use only specialized glue. The best solution is the adhesive of the same brand as the wallpaper.
  • Dress in closed clothes. Yes, cullet is not glass wool, but small glass fibers in contact with the skin can cause irritation. By the way, after painting the surface of the material loses this unpleasant property.
  • Immediately mark and cut the material. When wet during the gluing process, the wallpaper is difficult to cut: they stretch, tear.
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions for gluing. The instructions for this type of material must be read. Otherwise, the result of the work may greatly disappoint you.

The most important thing is that glass wallpapers are always rolled up with the right side inward, and not vice versa, as is the case with ordinary wallpaper. Keep this in mind when you start gluing.
