You can spend a lot of effort and money on finishing materials for an apartment, but in the end, due to the wrong technology, the result will quickly become worthless. It is especially difficult to produce, as new buildings shrink, and cracks are inevitable in the early years. In this article we will talk about fiberglass: its application, characteristics, prices, and most importantly - how to stick it with your own hands.
Beginners may confuse gossamer fiberglass with glass wall paper, but in fact they are different things, only outwardly they are very similar. Fiberglass is also made up of strands of fiberglass, but it is produced by pressing rather than on a loom. Fiberglass sheets are thin and translucent. The surface is smooth, but due to their structure, they are prickly.
This material has all the qualities of glass fiber, that is:
- resistant to fire, water, chemical and mechanical influences;
- does not cause allergies;
- consists of eco-friendly material;
- does not accumulate static electricity;
- allows air to pass through, so the walls "breathe".
However, despite the listed characteristics, the web has vulnerabilities. If a crack has formed parallel to or near the seam, it will come out. Often this happens when fiberglass is glued to drywall. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid gluing the canvas along the seams of the GKL and retreat at least a few centimeters.
Painting fiberglass is sold in rolls of 20 and 50 meters, 1 m wide. Its price depends on the density of the material (20-65 g / sq. M.), The cost varies between 380-800 rubles per 50 sq. m. m. The most optimal cobweb with a dense structure, 45-55 g / sq. m. 
Areas of use
Fiberglass "gossamer" is used to reinforce the base before finishing, but not as a topcoat. It is used for plasterboard structures, walls, ceilings. You can call it the most effective tool in the fight against cracks.
The video will show the technology and features of using fiberglass for interior decoration:
Adhesive selection
Glue for fiberglass is used special, for glass. Sometimes it comes with it right away. Be sure to follow the proportions indicated on the package when diluting the glue, it should not be liquid. Glue must be taken with a large margin, since the cost of fiberglass is much greater than for simple wallpaper.
Like any wallpaper, painting fiberglass is very afraid of drafts when it dries. Therefore, in no case do not open the windows during operation. According to SNiP 3.04.01-87. “Insulating and finishing coatings”, while wallpapering, it must be protected from drafts, direct sunlight and a constant humidity must be established in the room. The same rules apply when working with many floor coverings.
Preparatory work
The walls are prepared, as well as for wallpapering, but small cracks can not be repaired. If the width of the crack allows you to climb into it with a spatula, you must first treat it with a strong putty (for example, Knauf Uniflot), and then sand the surface. The surface must be smooth, puttied and treated with an appropriate primer.
Let's start gluing
Now let's figure out how to glue fiberglass on walls or ceilings. To do this, glue is abundantly applied to the surface. At first, it will be enough for the width of one sheet. The glue is quickly absorbed into the canvas, so it almost does not have to be expelled from there.
- Canvases can be cut to any length, as you wish. For walls, you can cut off the full height, and for the ceiling no more than 2 m.
When gluing, it is important to trace the position of the front of the canvas. Usually it is directed inside the roll. In appearance, both sides are almost the same, so check the label for this information.
- Place the first sheet on the surface and smooth it out gradually with your hands so that the edge matches the corner of the room. Then go over it with a plastic wallpaper spatula to remove excess and air bubbles from the inside. You need to do this with herringbone movements, from the middle to the edges.
- When the sheet is tightly seated, cut off the excess and soak the sheet again on top with glue so that it is well saturated. Then once again walk over the surface with a spatula, rubbing the glue inside. The sheet should be completely saturated and slightly darken from moisture.
- Then cut off the next sheet. You need to glue the overlap, on the ceiling it is better to place the canvas along the room.
- We glue the surface with an overlap on the old sheet. In the same way we glue it, soak it and press it. To get an even and invisible seam at the junction of two sheets, we take a sharp knife and cut a line through two layers of fiberglass. Additionally, the seam is impregnated with glue. The same technique applies to adjacent sheets. It's okay if the seam is uneven: the main thing is that it be smooth and invisible after finishing. In place of the corners, the canvas must be cut.
When working, it is necessary to observe safety precautions: use gloves, a respirator, a hat, long tucked sleeves. Sharp particles of fiberglass can be inhaled, on the skin and cause irritation.
- After a day, the glue will dry, and you can proceed to further finishing. To make fiberglass for painting, you need to putty it in at least two layers. This will hide its texture and reduce paint consumption. Under the wallpaper, one layer of putty is enough.
What to do if a crack appears?
If a crack does appear, it can be easily fixed. A fiber patch is glued directly on top of the putty so that its width is at least 6 cm larger than the crack.
Then we take a knife, press hard and make an incision along the perimeter: through the patch, the putty layer and the old canvas. We remove the layer of putty and glue the patch obtained exactly in size. On top we apply several layers of putty.
If you want to extend the life of your finish, be sure to use such an inexpensive, but very useful material as fiberglass. It is especially relevant for repairing cracks in plasterboard ceilings and boxes, which often burst at the seams. If you follow the installation technology of the structure and add the correct reinforcement of the joints to this, you will forever forget about microcracks.
When carrying out finishing work, great importance is given to each material involved in the finishing. Modern trends dictate their own rules, which applies to a high level of cladding. Let's pay attention to fiberglass for painting: today this material is in great demand among professional craftsmen. Consider its features, pros and cons, methods of work and recommendations of specialists.
Peculiarities
Fiberglass is nothing more than a new generation building material that prepares the base surface for finishing. This is not cullet, as those who are unfamiliar with this material mistakenly believe. This raw material is in the form of a cobweb, which is sold in rolls 50 m long with a meter wide. It appeared on the construction market relatively recently. However, the quality of the material allows what was previously difficult to do when finishing.
The texture of fiberglass is a non-woven material. It consists of the finest fiberglass threads that can be pressed. Externally, fiberglass is thin and transparent. In a roll, the color of the gossamer seems to be white. When viewed, these are cobweb threads interconnected in a chaotic manner with the help of an adhesive substance based on organic resins.
The raw material for the production of fiberglass is quartz sand. The density of the preparatory material for painting can vary from 25 to 50 g/m2. It matters when choosing raw materials for different planes. Typically, for vertical surfaces, varieties with a lower density are used. For walls, you need one that is denser. With increasing density, the mass of fiberglass becomes larger.
Scope of application
The scope of this material is extensive. Its use allows you to get rid of visual irregularities and obvious defects in the base without global preparatory work. Its function is reinforcement. This is a non-decorative material: after it is fixed to the base, it is puttied, and then the surface is painted or wallpapered.
Fiberglass for painting is used on different grounds(from concrete to plastered and drywall). Due to its high quality and performance characteristics, it can be used in rooms of various purposes. The type of premises can be residential or auxiliary. Often such material is used in the preparation of the base of bedrooms, living rooms, offices, home libraries, bathrooms, hallways, corridors.
The popularity of fiberglass for painting is due to the prevention of cracks. A plane finished with paint after reinforcing with a gossamer will retain its attractive appearance for many years. You don't have to mask cracks by painting them with fresh paint.
In addition, fiberglass for painting can be used in the construction industry for:
- increase the service life of metal pipes;
- production of floor cladding and wall panels;
- waterproofing structures;
- implementation of drainage devices;
- preparation of mastics used in the creation of the roof.
Pros and cons
Like any building material, fiberglass has advantages and disadvantages.
Let's take a look at the benefits.
- It is resistant to temperature changes. You can prepare the surface for painting in the mode from -40 to +60 degrees. This will not affect the quality of the preparation of the base.
- Fiberglass is breathable and hygienic. Its use eliminates the formation of condensate and the environment for the appearance of fungus, as well as mold.
- The material does not electrify, as it is antistatic. For this reason, it does not accumulate dust.
- The use of the material does not have a negative impact on the health of households. This is due to the environmental friendliness of fiberglass.
- It is hypoallergenic. This nuance is especially important for allergy sufferers.
- Fire resistance is one of the most significant advantages. Such material is appreciated by every experienced craftsman.
- The price of fiberglass is available to every buyer, which allows you to make repairs inexpensive and of high quality. It can be bought at hardware stores.
- Fiberglass is highly durable. It does not deteriorate over time, so you do not have to do repairs often.
- This material can be dyed. Its uniqueness is the fact that painting can be repeated.
Having studied the positive characteristics, we note the disadvantages, because they are not so harmless.
Fiberglass must be handled with extreme caution. This is due to the fact that in the process of leveling the base, small glass fragments can break off from the canvas. Sticking into the skin, they can cause significant harm to health, getting on the skin of the hands, body, sometimes in the eyes and respiratory organs. In some cases, skin itching is possible, if it gets into the eyes, you will have to consult a doctor.
Working with fiberglass requires the mandatory use of closed clothing. You need to wear gloves on your hands, a respirator and goggles on your face.
How to stick?
Consider the intricacies of using fiberglass for painting. This will allow you to get to know the material better and understand the features of its application. Initially, we create optimal conditions for work. It is better to carry them out at a temperature of +18 to +25 degrees. Windows should be closed during preparatory work. Drafts are excluded, you need to ensure that the fiberglass does not lie under the sun.
You have to follow a little instruction.
- Examine the surface of the base. If it has significant defects (potholes, large chips), set aside the fiberglass. In this case, you first need to get rid of visible flaws with a putty or plaster mixture.
- After that, it is necessary to treat the base with a special primer. It is advisable to use a primer with a high penetrating power. It will level the surface structure, bind dust, fill microcracks.
- After applying the primer, let it dry. In the process of drying the material, a fine crystal lattice is formed on the surface, which contributes to high adhesion. If you do not wait until the end of drying, the lattice film will be broken.
- Fiberglass is not fixed with a whole panel. It must be cut into strips of such a size that it is convenient for you to work. At the same time, add small allowances to the edges (1-2 cm is enough).
- Prepare glue for fiberglass. Apply it to the back of the sides and width. Spread the adhesive evenly in a thin layer (no more than 1 mm).
- Start work from the corner of the plane. It can be a ceiling or a wall. After gluing the first strip, the second one is attached next to it, and so on all the rest. At the same time, a small overlap is formed, which, after the final fixation, must be cut.
- So that the joints of the strips of fiberglass do not diverge, it is necessary to additionally impregnate them with glue, pressing them very carefully with a spatula. Experts emphasize the importance of this stage.
Now leave the base for 2 days to dry. Then putty it, then touch up with sandpaper to make it smooth. Before painting the surface, re-treat with a primer and allow it to dry.
How to paint?
After the surface is prepared, you can start painting. So that it does not cause trouble, it is important to choose the right coloring composition, of which there are many types today.
You can choose paint:
- water emulsion;
- acrylic;
- silicone;
- latex.
A distinctive feature of this painting is the need to apply several layers. It is impossible to apply two layers at once: it will shrink or peel off in layers in a fairly short time, exposing the bases with putty. Failure to comply with the technology for the use of coloring compositions is fraught with a reduction in the life of the paint. In this case, it is unlikely that you will be able to paint such a surface several times.
In order for the application of paint to be of high quality, it is important to choose the right tool. The brush in this case is suitable only for painting joints and corners. The use of a roller would be more appropriate. It will speed up the time for painting, allow you to put a thin layer, which will reduce the consumption of the coloring composition.
Dip the roller in a container of paint, wring it out a little and roll it on a flat surface. Do not use a tool with a foam coat: the foam will crumble into pieces. Need an analogue with a pile. The movements should be in different directions: this will allow the paint to lie better and more evenly. Do not forget that the planes must be puttied and primed before painting. When painting, two or three layers of the composition can be applied.
To prepare the surface for painting with fiberglass to be of high quality, Let's turn to the recommendations of professionals in the field of construction and decoration.
- After you have glued the cobweb to the surface, strengthen its fixation. To do this, dilute the glue to a liquid consistency and coat it on top. It must soak the fiberglass.
- Do not ignore the start-up work, if they are really necessary. If you do not have enough experience, you can invite a specialist to help prepare the foundation.
- Get the job done efficiently and without haste. The strength and reliability of the entire base will depend on how firmly you glue the fiberglass.
- As an adhesive, you can use the glue that glues the glass. The composition of such mixtures contains special inclusions that prevent the formation of fungus. If in doubt about the choice, ask the seller: not every wallpaper paste is appropriate here.
- When choosing dry glue, dilute it correctly. Pay attention to the harmless formulations of Bostik, Wellton, Oscar, Pufas: they have positive feedback from buyers and construction professionals.
- If you need a glossy surface type, buy latex paint.
If the basis for the wallpaper is created by interlacing fiberglass threads on looms, then the gossamer fiberglass is obtained by stamping. The arrangement of the threads in such a canvas is chaotic, they are randomly glued together with organic resins.
The material is produced with different degrees of density: from 25 to 65g/m2. It is very light, which is why it is called a cobweb. The least dense fiberglass is used for finishing ceilings, the heavier one is used to reinforce wall putty or as a finishing material for painting. Painting fiberglass has no patterns, therefore it is a very good basis for repeated painting in various ways in order to obtain a smooth surface.
Scope of use
The web is easily attached to any surface, it is actively used in the process of new construction and for more convenient repair work. What is fiberglass for?
- Thanks to its excellent reinforcing properties, it effectively strengthens the surface for finishing. If low-quality drywall is used as a leveling material, then fiberglass will make such a surface durable and reliable. The use of fiberglass does not exempt the use of sickle when sealing joints.
- It can replace the last layer of starting putty or completely primary putty, depending on the condition of the substrate.
- The use of fiberglass helps to prevent the occurrence of cracks, shells. Makes the conditions for finishing more comfortable.
- The web is used as a solid base for painting, if it is intended to make the wall or ceiling smooth, without embossed patterns.
- It is very convenient to repair with fiberglass those sections of walls or partitions that are covered with small cracks.
In addition, fiberglass has found its application in the production of wall panels, floor coverings. It is often used in roofing and to protect the pipelines of drainage systems, as well as one of the components of a waterproofing pie.
How and what to glue the cobweb
The process of gluing fiberglass to the surface of the wall and ceiling is not much different from working with wallpaper and depends on the ultimate purpose of using this material. In any case, you first need to perform a basic alignment and rough preparation of the surface of the wall or ceiling.
Next, you need to perform priming with deep penetration impregnation and then decide what to glue the fiberglass onto. The correct selection of glue is a very important procedure, since the strength of fixation and the service life of the finish depend on the quality of the adhesive composition. It is worth using only special formulations from well-known brands, for example, Wellton, Pufas, Bostik. They contain high quality components and are completely harmless to humans. Glue for fiberglass, when solidified, forms a film that prevents the formation of mold and fungal manifestations.
The sticker process consists of the following steps:
- a roll of fiberglass - the cobwebs are unfolded and cut into canvases of the desired size;
- an adhesive composition is applied to the surface of the wall or ceiling with a roller, spatula and brush;
- the first canvas is glued from the corner to the center, it must be tightly smoothed and leveled with a plastic spatula;
- webs of cobwebs are glued end-to-end; if it is necessary to make a small overlap, then after gluing it is cut with a sharp knife and the excess is removed to strengthen the reinforcing purpose of the material.
After the surface is completely finished with a cobweb, it is covered with a layer of the same glue, only in a diluted state. This layer serves as a good basis for finishing puttying or painting in several steps. But by itself, it does not create an absolutely flat surface, since the glue easily penetrates between the glass fibers. Now you should wait for the wall or ceiling to dry out and you can proceed to further work.
Finishing
Fiberglass for painting can be used immediately after the glue has dried. However, this process cannot be called too simple in terms of labor intensity. You will need to apply several layers of paint to make the surface completely flat and smooth. Since the first layers of the coloring composition will penetrate between the threads of the cobweb, thereby creating uneven coloring.
However, you can go the other way - before painting, cover the fiberglass with one or two layers of finishing putty. It will hide all the bumps and save expensive paint. Properly applied fiberglass for putty will help create an ideal and very durable surface. It will protect it from the occurrence of shrinkage cracks and extend the life of the cladding.
When decorating the premises, many do not want to give up such familiar material as wallpaper, paper, vinyl, non-woven or some other. At the same time, they ask the question: is it possible to glue wallpaper on fiberglass? If the walls of your house are made of wood, lined with PVC panels, composite boards such as chipboard or fiberboard, using insulation, then fiberglass can not only be used, but absolutely necessary. For a better fit of the wallpaper to the surface reinforced with fiberglass, it must be covered with putty. After drying, treat with a primer and you can stick any wallpaper. They will stay strong and last a long time.
When working with glass materials, one should not forget about safety rules. Work should be done with gloves and, preferably, use goggles and a respirator. This is necessary so that the glass pile does not accidentally get into the respiratory tract and eyes.
In the process of finishing concrete ceilings, it is often necessary to deal with cracks and irregularities. In order for the screed to be strong and not crack, the base of such a surface is reinforced with a paint “cobweb”. To achieve a good quality of the procedure, before it is carried out, it is necessary to understand what it is for. In the previous publication, in the material about, the issue of working with fiberglass was not deliberately raised. This topic was planned for consideration in a separate article, which is now offered to your attention.
Main characteristics of the material
The basis of this material is glass: during the manufacturing process, it is melted, stretched into threads and twisted into fibers: they serve as the basis for obtaining fiberglass by weaving. For glass threads, along with tensile strength, elasticity is characteristic, which protects the finished canvas from deformation. At the final stage of production, the "spider web" is treated with a special impregnation that increases its stability. The density of the finished material is in the range of 25-65 g/m 2 .
Fiberglass has a number of advantages:
- Environmental Safety. For the manufacture of the material, only natural components that do not cause allergic reactions are used.
- High strength and durability. Fiberglass copes well with both mechanical and thermal influences.
- Does not collect dust. Electrostatic inertness makes it possible to avoid attracting light debris to the surface of the finish.
- Fire safety. Exceptional resistance to fire makes it possible to use fiberglass for finishing the corridors of large buildings, through which people are evacuated in case of fire.
- High reinforcing ability. The gossamer-finished base provides strength for the finish coat.
- biological inertia. Fiberglass is not a breeding ground for microorganisms, including fungus and mold. This is facilitated by the fact that glass fibers are not afraid of water and do not rot in conditions of constant humidity.
- High vapor permeability. This makes it possible to avoid "clogging" of the reinforced bases.
- Excellent interaction with most building materials.
Despite the great similarity, reinforcing fiberglass and are two materials that are different in purpose.
As for the disadvantages of the "cobweb", the main one is some inconvenience due to small glass particles that occur when cutting the canvases. It is recommended to work in protective clothing, gloves, goggles and a respirator.
Where is the "cobweb" used
What is fiberglass for?
- Reinforcement of walls and ceilings. With it, you can strengthen concrete, brick and other bases in rooms for various purposes. This is especially true when the surface is being prepared for painting. Thanks to fiberglass reinforcement, the base is well leveled, without the threat of subsequent cracking.
- Corrosion protection. The presence of anti-corrosion characteristics of glass fibers allows them to be used to protect metal pipelines for various purposes.
- Manufacture of high quality building materials. Fiberglass is often reinforced and wall panels. In addition, it is included in the composition, indispensable in the arrangement of a soft roof.
- Arrangement of waterproofing protection and drainage.
What is fiberglass
The most commonly used types of "cobweb":
- 25 g/cm2. The best fiberglass for the ceiling for painting, which is facilitated by its light weight and strength. Ceiling "gossamer" has a small absorbent capacity, which saves paint material.
- 40 g/cm2. A versatile material that is twice as strong as the previous version. With its help, surfaces that are subject to increased operational loads (rooms with a high level of vibration) are reinforced. As for strengthening the ceiling surfaces with a universal "cobweb", this is justified only in the presence of dilapidated plaster and cracks.
- 50 g/cm2. This durable material is designed to reinforce large cracks. In addition, it is often used to reinforce building envelopes in workshops, workshops and garages to protect against mechanical damage. The increased cost of this type of work is due to the high cost of the material and the increased consumption of glue for fixing it.
- wellton. This Finnish material withstands numerous repaints very well.
- Oskar. Less expensive Russian analogue, which can be repainted several times, with a small consumption of material. Domestic fiberglass technonikol also has similar qualities. .
- Spectrum. This Dutch company offers high-quality fiberglass of various densities.
- nortex. A Chinese manufacturer offering a fairly high-quality "web". However, its choice is limited only by the universal variety (50 g/cm2).
How to glue fiberglass on a concrete ceiling yourself
To strengthen the ceiling of concrete, the so-called "ceiling cobweb" with a density of 25 g / cm2 is usually used. Optimum working conditions are of great importance, since it is recommended to use fiberglass at an air temperature of + 15-25º and a humidity of not more than 60%.
Surface preparation
- Before gluing fiberglass to the ceiling for painting, its surface must be completely cleaned of whitewash, wallpaper and old putty - a bare concrete slab should remain.
- If defects in the base are found, they must be eliminated. All protrusions are knocked down with a pick, and the depressions are sealed.
- If possible, it is better to lay a leveling layer of starting putty on the concrete surface.
Padding
- Primer. After the ceiling is completely dry, it is impregnated with a deep penetration primer. Acrylic compositions are very good in this regard. Due to this, the surface of the ceiling acquires the necessary adhesion for the subsequent application of the adhesive. The primer must be allowed to dry completely (usually 30-40 minutes).
- Glue preparation. For this, it is recommended to use special compositions, since it will not work correctly to glue fiberglass for painting with conventional wallpaper materials. As for PVA, it holds fiberglass well, but subsequently its surface may become covered with yellow spots. It is best to use a special glue for fiberglass and glass wall paper, which is sold dry or ready-made (as a rule, good brands of painting canvas are equipped with mounting adhesive from the same manufacturer). A pack of dry composition is diluted in a 10-liter bucket of clean warm water: this volume is enough for gluing a "cobweb" with an area of 50 m 2.
Cutting and gluing
- Having measured the length and width of the room, then cut the required number of pieces of "cobwebs". It is not difficult to do this, since the material is sold in rolls for convenience. The length of the strips is taken with some margin (about 10 cm). The same applies to the width - here one should take into account the fact that the strips are glued with a slight overlap (up to 20 mm). When cutting, be sure to wear a respirator, goggles and gloves to avoid getting sharp particles on the skin of the hands, eyes and respiratory organs.
- The first strip is mounted from the edge of the ceiling, having previously smeared this area with a plentiful layer of glue (the canvas absorbs a lot of it). For convenience, it is recommended to beat off the line to the width of the strip along the entire length of the surface. Having applied the edge of the canvas along the line, it is necessary to smooth it from the center in all directions, expelling air bubbles and excess glue. This operation is most conveniently performed with a plastic wallpaper spatula. Excessive force when pressing the tool should not be applied so that the fiberglass does not break (at this stage it is very vulnerable).
How to glue fiberglass strips correctly
The next strip is glued next to the first with a slight overlap (it is immediately cut with a sharp knife, removing excess parts). For a better quality finish, the butt sections are recommended to be additionally coated with glue. In the course of gluing fiberglass, it is important to maintain the continuity of the process by gluing the sheets one by one.
On the painting canvas there is an inner and outer side - it is advisable not to confuse them. The outer side is usually twisted inside the roll (it is smoother to the touch).
After the entire ceiling is sealed, excess pieces of material are trimmed around its entire perimeter. Further, the entire area of the laid canvas is covered with a layer of the same glue (it is usually slightly diluted). Fiberglass for putty should dry well (1-2 days).
Finishing features
The painting canvas creates a peculiar texture on the surface of the ceiling: therefore, it is advisable to putty the fiberglass "cobweb" under painting. Enough 1-2 layers of a soft solution of gypsum (Satengips) or ready-made (acrylic) mixture. Grinding such a ceiling should be very careful, without exposing the fiberglass. As for painting, for this you can use ordinary water-based, acrylic or latex paint, which is applied with a fabric roller in two layers.
Putty can be skipped, however, for high-quality painting in this case, you will have to use 5-6 layers, since fiberglass has significant absorbing characteristics.
Results
Properly glued painting fiberglass guarantees excellent quality of the ceiling screed: cracks and chips will not appear on it even under conditions of strong vibration. It is allowed to paint such a surface many times. The decision to apply or not to use the "cobweb" is influenced by the initial state of the rough foundation.
Sometimes it is difficult to color. Sometimes this is a rather difficult task, which requires a certain level of skill of the master. However, even the skill of the workers is not always able to save the finished surface from the formation of various. The fact is that the new structure begins to shrink, it does not dry very evenly.
Quite noticeable gaps can appear on the surface, which can spoil the appearance. special material, painting fiberglass, greatly facilitates painting work. It simplifies the preparation of any planes for subsequent painting, in addition, it prevents the appearance of small and flaws.
The result of painting work from this significantly worsens, since the appearance of the surfaces inevitably deteriorates. It is to prevent their formation that a special painting interlining. With the help of this material, the finishing surface itself is strengthened, that is, reinforced.
What is this miracle tissue? It is a non-woven, rather thin material. It is made up of many glass fibers that differ in their thickness. Their chaotic connection with each other just ensures the impossibility of the formation of noticeable cracks.
Microscopic defects are, of course, possible, but they are not noticeable.
This ability determines the scope of use of fiberglass: a noticeable improvement in various types of final finishing of ceilings and walls.
Fiberglass painting gossamer
Its technology is as follows:
All procedures are quite simple, but the main thing in their implementation is thoroughness and accuracy. Then you will get the desired result.
When performing all work, certain conditions must be met:
- the room should be completely free of drafts;
- temperature indicators should be at least 15 degrees;
- the humidity in the room should also be within the normal range;
- and it is better to keep the doors closed until completely dry;
- From bright sunlight it is desirable to curtain the windows.
Painting fiberglass: features and benefits
The material is made from organic resins and mineral fiberglass, and is considered environmentally friendly. Its continuous web has impressive tensile strength.
The fibers that make it up are not intertwined, as in similar ones, but are glued together in a rather chaotic manner. The material has a fairly affordable cost, and received a common name fiberglass.
People call him simply " gossamer”, which he somewhat resembles with his soft structure. By type, the material is divided into various classes, differing in density and thickness.
These indicators affect its cost: the more they are, the higher it is. Lighter and thinner articles are recommended for the ceiling. More dense species are able to withstand significant loads without damage.
The material has the following performance characteristics:
