Instructions on the use of glass fiber - smooth walls and ceiling

you want smooth and smooth walls, which in a few years will not be covered with a network of cracks?This can be achieved by paying a considerable amount of professional craftsmen.And you can stick a gossamer layer of paint, or, as they call it professional, paint fiberglass.

The structure fiberglass - non-woven fabric of glass fibers, which are pressed as paper, using special equipment.They look well - smooth and thin, but in contrast to the paper, not afraid of water, do not burn in the fire, do not accumulate dust and are resistant to most chemicals.The density of 25 g / m.(As office paper) to 50 g / m.

material without flaws

Fiberglass - absolutely environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic material.It is composed of only natural materials: silica sand, lime, soda and dolomite.The surface of the fabric passes vapor and air, in contrast to the vinyl and the mold under it can not be started.Additional benefits:

• reinforces the walls and ceiling, prevents the appearance of cracks,
• withstand most household mechanical damage (furniture, hands and toys),
• it is well retained screws and other fastening,
• not lit (can withstand temperatures up to 1300degrees) and it does not emit toxic substances,
• washable, including by means of household chemical goods, brushing.

Unlike fiberglass, fiberglass has no relief, the surface is smooth and it is extremely suitable for painting.After stickers and painting, he looks like a perfectly aligned and plastered wall, but the cost of such coverage is much lower.This material can be glued as concrete, plasterboard and the brick, even in the partitions of the sandwich panels.

What

need to paste fiberglass on the wall or ceiling you will need a minimum of materials.

1. Special glue needed - Glufix 99, Wellton, Holtex or Oskar, the latter is more common.
2. primer, such as the same of Oskar, Latex.One can use a dilute and weakly adhesive (2 parts water to 1 part adhesives).
3. short nap roller to apply glue and paint a shallow tray, for work in the corners - a narrow flat brush.
4. Durable stationery knife and a plastic spatula for trimming the edges.
5. water-based paint with latex through which the walls can "breathe."

also can not do without a partner.One person should be glued on the top panel and the second leveling it and stick the bottom.

choosing fiberglass in the store, you need to look at its edge: it must be smooth and not razlohmachennym.

Preparation: easier

If the wall has already been before the decorative coating, it is necessary to remove: and wallpaper and plaster falling off, and the layers of oil paint.An exception can be made to hold fast to the plaster with minor injuries - chips, cracks and traces of furniture.

Before sticker wall still better align putty and large cracks and chips, you can not as well as before painting or plastering.Small bumps and hollows are allowed.Wall or ceiling Neaten stiff brush from the dust, if there is grease stains, remove them solvent.Then cover it with diluted primer or adhesive.

Fiberglass sold in rolls, a standard width of 100 cm, but the length can vary -. 10, 20 and 50 m it must be pre-cut to the desired length of cloth, adding a few centimeters in reserve.Better to cut the piece then, than to find out that it is not enough just a few millimeters.

Bonding glass fiber on the wall

fiberglass glued, like non-woven and glass fiber.Clay smeared not cloth, but the wall itself, the area for a couple of centimeters wider than the wallpaper.Cut the cloth glued butt, starting from the top corner and making sure that they go straight up.Seam and the canvas itself is further smoothed and pressed with a spatula, the excess from the bottom - cut off office knife.

If the roll edge is still damaged during storage or need to paste a small section of a complex shape, the adjacent pieces can be glued lap, so disheveled sites completely blocked.This joint is not sealed, and immediately cut the middle office knife.Remove the top bar to the edge, gently pry the edge of the cloth is removed from the bottom piece.It is important to make a smooth cut to the ground, then the seam is invisible.The seam is smoothed with a spatula, if necessary, you can add a little glue under the flag by removing it with a paper towel residues.

glued fiberglass treated with primer, or, again, strongly diluted glue and left for 12 hours or more to dry.This treatment will significantly reduce the amount of paint that will be required for staining in the future.Fiberglass is not as sensitive to changes in temperature and drafts, like wallpaper, but the windows are better left closed.When it is completely dry and well-engages with the surface of the wall, you can begin to color.This coating can be repainted many times, it will not deform or deteriorate from this.
