Fiberglass: production technology, application features, prices and reviews. The use of glass fiber painting for repairs Which side of the glass fiber is front

You can spend a lot of effort and money on finishing materials for an apartment, but in the end, due to improper technology, the result will quickly become unusable. It is especially difficult to manufacture as new buildings shrink and cracks are inevitable in the early years. In this article we will tell you about fiberglass: its application, characteristics, prices, and most importantly - how to stick it with your own hands.

Beginners may confuse the "cobweb" fiberglass painting with fiberglass, but in fact they are different things, only outwardly they are very similar. Fiberglass is also composed 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 fiberglass, that is:

  • resistant to fire, water, chemical and mechanical influences;
  • does not cause allergies;
  • consists of environmentally friendly material;
  • does not accumulate static electricity;
  • allows air to pass through, so the walls "breathe".

However, despite the listed characteristics, the cobweb has vulnerabilities. If a crack has formed parallel to or near the seam, it will pop out. This often happens when fiberglass is glued to drywall. Therefore, you need to avoid gluing the canvas along the seams of the gypsum board 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. It can be called the most effective remedy in the fight against cracks.

The video will show the technology and features of the use of fiberglass for interior decoration:

Adhesive selection

Special glue for fiberglass is used for fiberglass wallpaper. Sometimes it comes immediately in the kit. Be sure to observe the proportions indicated on the package when diluting the glue, it should not be liquid. The glue must be taken with a large margin, since the consumption for fiberglass is much higher than for plain wallpaper.

Like any wallpaper, glass canvas painting is very afraid of drafts when it dries. Therefore, in no case open the vents during operation. According to SNiP 3.04.01-87. "Insulation and finishing coatings", during gluing the wallpaper must be protected from drafts, direct sunlight and constant humidity must be set in the room. The same rules apply when working with many floor coverings.

Preparatory work

The walls are prepared, as well as for gluing wallpaper, but small cracks can not be repaired. If the width of the crack allows you to crawl 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 level, putty and primed with an appropriate primer.

Getting started gluing

Now let's figure out how to glue the fiberglass on the walls or ceiling. For this, glue is abundantly applied to the surface. At first, it will be enough in the width of one sheet. The glue will quickly be absorbed into the canvas, so you hardly have to expel it from there.

    • The canvases can be cut to any length, as it is more convenient for you. For walls, you can cut 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 towards the inside of the roll. Both sides look almost the same, so check the label for this information.

    • Attach the first sheet to the surface and smooth it gradually with your hands so that the edge coincides with the corner of the room. Then, use a plastic wallpaper spatula to brush over it to remove excess air and air bubbles from the inside. This should be done with herringbone movements, from the middle to the edges.

    • When the sheet is firmly seated, cut off the excess and saturate the sheet again with glue on top so that it is thoroughly saturated. Then, once again go over the surface with a spatula, rubbing the glue inward. The sheet should be completely saturated and darken slightly with moisture.

    • Then we cut off the next sheet. You need to glue with an 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, impregnate it and press it. To get an even and invisible seam at the junction of two sheets, 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 turns out to be uneven: the main thing is that it is smooth and invisible after finishing. In place of the corners, the canvas needs to be cut.

When working, it is necessary to observe safety precautions: use gloves, a respirator, a hat, long tucked sleeves. Sharp fiberglass particles can enter the respiratory tract and skin and cause irritation.

  • After a day, the glue will dry, and you can proceed to further finishing. To make a fiberglass for painting, you need to putty it in at least two layers. This will hide its texture and reduce paint consumption. One layer of putty is enough under the wallpaper.

What 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 wider than the crack.

Then we take a knife, press it down well and make an incision around the perimeter: through the patch, a layer of putty and an old canvas. We remove the layer of putty and glue the patch obtained exactly to the size. Apply several layers of putty on top.
If you want to extend the lifespan of your finish, be sure to use an inexpensive but highly useful material like fiberglass. It is especially relevant for repairing cracks in plasterboard ceilings and boxes, which often crack at the seams. If you follow the technology of installation of the structure and add to this the correct reinforcement of the joints, you will forever forget about microcracks.

When carrying out finishing work, great importance is attached to each material involved in the finishing. Modern trends dictate their own rules, which extends to the high level of cladding. Let's pay attention to the fiberglass for painting: today this material is in great demand among professional craftsmen. Let's consider its features, pros and cons, methods of work and recommendations of specialists.

Peculiarities

Fiberglass is nothing more than a new generation of building material, which prepares the base surface for finishing. This is not fiberglass, as those who are unfamiliar with this material mistakenly believe. This raw material is in the form of a spider web, which is sold in rolls with a length of 50 m at a meter width. It appeared on the construction market relatively recently. However, the quality of the material allows what was previously difficult to do when finishing.

The fiberglass texture is a non-woven material. It consists of the finest fiberglass filaments that can be pressed. Externally, the fiberglass is thin and transparent. On a roll, the color of the spider web appears white. When viewed, these are cobweb threads, interconnected in a chaotic manner using an adhesive 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, lower density varieties are used for vertical surfaces. For the walls, the one that is denser is needed. With an increase in density, the mass of the 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 on the base, it is putty, and then the surface is painted or pasted over with wallpaper.

Fiberglass for painting is used on different bases(from concrete to plastered and plasterboard). Due to its high qualities and performance characteristics, it can be used in rooms of different 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 being reinforced with a cobweb will retain its attractive appearance for many years. You don't have to mask the cracks by touching them up with fresh paint.

In addition, paintable fiberglass can be used in the construction industry for:

  • increasing the service life of metal pipes;
  • manufacturing of floor cladding and wall panels;
  • waterproofing structures;
  • execution of drainage devices;
  • preparation of mastics used to create the roof.

Pros and cons

Like any building material, fiberglass has advantages and disadvantages.

Let's note the advantages.

  • It is resistant to temperature changes. You can prepare the plane for painting at a mode from -40 to +60 degrees. This will not affect the quality of the foundation preparation.
  • Fiberglass is breathable and hygienic. Its use eliminates the formation of condensation and a medium for the appearance of fungus, as well as mold.
  • The material is not electrified, as it is antistatic. For this reason, it does not accumulate dust.
  • The use of the material has no negative impact on the health of the household. This is due to the environmental friendliness of the fiberglass.
  • It is hypoallergenic. This nuance is especially important for allergy sufferers.

  • Refractoriness 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 makes it possible to make repairs inexpensive and of high quality. You can buy it at hardware stores.
  • The fiberglass is highly wear-resistant. It doesn't deteriorate over time, so you don't have to repair it often.
  • This material can be dyed. Its uniqueness is the fact that painting can be repeated several times.

Having studied the positive characteristics, we note the disadvantages, because they are not so harmless.

It is necessary to work with fiberglass 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. Digging into the skin, they can cause significant harm to health, getting on the skin of the hands, body, sometimes in the eyes and respiratory system. In some cases, itching is possible; if it gets into the eyes, you will have to consult a doctor.

Working with fiberglass requires the obligatory use of closed clothing. You need to put on gloves on your hands, on your face - a respirator and goggles.

How to stick?

Consider the intricacies of using fiberglass for painting. This will allow you to better get acquainted with the material and understand the features of its application. Initially, we create optimal working conditions. It is better to carry out them at temperatures from +18 to +25 degrees. Windows should be closed during preparatory work. Drafts are excluded, you need to make sure that the fiberglass does not lie under the sun.

There is a small instruction to follow.

  • 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 imperfections 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 high penetrating primer. It will even out the surface structure, bind dust, and fill microcracks.

  • After applying the primer, let it dry. During the drying process of 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 crate film will be broken.
  • Fiberglass is not fixed with a whole piece of cloth. 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 the fiberglass glue. Apply it to the back side along the sides and width. Spread the adhesive evenly in a thin layer (max. 1 mm).
  • Start from the corner of the plane. It can be a ceiling or a wall. After gluing the first strip, the second is attached next to it, and so on all the others. In this case, a small overlap is formed, which must be trimmed after final fixation.
  • So that the joints of the fiberglass strips do not diverge, it is necessary to additionally impregnate them with glue, pressing them especially carefully with a spatula. Experts emphasize the importance of this stage.

Now let the base dry for 2 days. Then putty it, then touch up with sandpaper to make it smooth. Re-prime the surface before painting and allow 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, the types of which there are many today.

You can choose paint:

  • water-based;
  • acrylic;
  • silicone;
  • latex.

A distinctive feature of such painting is the need to apply several layers. You cannot 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. At the same time, it is unlikely that you will be able to paint such a surface several times.

It is important to choose the right tool for the paint application to be of high quality. The brush in this case is only suitable for painting joints and corners. Using a roller will 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 dye composition.

Dip the roller into a container of paint, squeeze it out a little and roll it flat. Do not use a tool with a foam rubber coat: the foam rubber will crumble into pieces. An analogue with a pile is needed. Movements should be in different directions: this will allow the paint to lie better and smoother. Do not forget that surfaces must be putty and primed before painting. When painting, two or three coats of the composition can be applied.

In order to prepare the surface for painting with fiberglass to be of high quality, refer to the recommendations of professionals in the field of construction and decoration.

  • After you have glued the spider web to the surface, strengthen its fixation. To do this, dilute the glue to a liquid consistency and spread on top. It must saturate the fiberglass.
  • Do not ignore the start-up work if it is really necessary. If you do not have enough experience, you can invite a specialist to help prepare the foundation.
  • Do the job 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 with which glass fiber is glued. 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 glue is appropriate here.

  • When choosing dry glue, dilute it correctly. Pay attention to the harmless compositions of Bostik, Wellton, Oscar, Pufas: they have positive reviews from buyers and construction professionals.
  • If you need a glossy type of surface, buy latex paint.

If the base for wallpaper is created by weaving fiberglass threads on weaving machines, then the fiberglass spider web is obtained by stamping. The arrangement of the threads in such a canvas is chaotic; they are glued together using organic resins in a random manner.

The material is produced with various degrees of density: from 25 to 65 g / m2. It is very light, which is why it is called cobweb. The least dense fiberglass is used for finishing ceilings, the heavier one is used for reinforcing wall putty or as a finishing material for painting. Painting glass canvas has no patterns, therefore it is a very good base for repeated painting in various ways in order to obtain a smooth surface.

Scope of use

The cobweb 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?

  1. Due to its excellent reinforcing properties, it effectively strengthens the surface for finishing. If a low-quality drywall is used as a leveling material, then the fiberglass will make such a surface strong and reliable. The use of fiberglass does not exempt the use of serpyanka when sealing joints.
  2. It can replace the last layer of the starting filler or completely the initial filler, depending on the condition of the substrate.
  3. The use of fiberglass helps to prevent cracks and cavities. Makes conditions for finishing more comfortable.
  4. The cobweb is used as a solid base for painting, if it is planned to make the wall or ceiling smooth, without embossed patterns.
  5. It is very convenient to carry out repairs with fiberglass of 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 works and to protect drainage pipelines, as well as one of the components of a waterproofing cake.

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 final purpose of using this material. In any case, the basic leveling and rough preparation of the wall or ceiling surface must first be done.

Next, you need to carry out priming with deep penetration impregnation and then decide what to glue the fiberglass. 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. 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 cured, forms a film that prevents the formation of mold and fungal manifestations.

The sticker process consists of the following stages:

  • 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 using a roller, spatula and brush;
  • the first canvas is glued from corner to center, it must be tightly smoothed and smoothed with a plastic spatula;
  • spider webs are glued end-to-end; if it is necessary to make a small overlap, then after sticking it is cut with a sharp knife and the excess is removed in order 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 putty or painting in several stages. But by itself it does not create an absolutely flat surface, since the glue easily penetrates between the glass fibers. Now you should wait until the wall or ceiling is dry and you can proceed to further work.

Final 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 so that the surface is completely flat and smooth. Since the first layers of the dye composition will penetrate between the threads of the cobweb, thereby creating uneven dyeing.

However, you can go the other way - before painting, cover the fiberglass with one or two layers of finishing putty. It will hide all irregularities and save expensive paint consumption. Properly applied fiberglass under the putty will help create an ideal and very durable surface. Protects it from shrinkage cracks and extends the life of the cladding.

When decorating premises, many do not want to give up such familiar material as paper, vinyl, non-woven wallpaper or some others. At the same time, the question is asked: 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, with the use of insulation, then fiberglass can not only be used, but absolutely necessary. For better adherence of the wallpaper to the surface, reinforced with fiberglass, it must be covered with a putty. After drying, treat with a primer and you can stick any wallpaper. They will hold firmly and serve for a long time.

When working with glass materials, one must not forget about safety rules. Work should be done with gloves and, preferably, wear protective goggles and a respirator. This is to prevent the glass fluff from accidentally getting into the respiratory tract and eyes.

In the process of finishing concrete ceilings, it is often necessary to deal with cracks and irregularities. To make the screed strong and not crack, the base of such a surface is reinforced with a painting "cobweb". To achieve a good quality of the procedure, before carrying out it, you need to figure out what it is for. In the previous publication, the article about intentionally did not touch upon the issue of working with glass fiber. This topic was planned for consideration in a separate article, which is now offered to your attention.

The main characteristics of the material

The basis of this material is glass: in the process of manufacturing it is melted, pulled into threads and twisted into fibers: they serve as the basis for obtaining glass fiber by weaving. Along with tensile strength, glass filaments are characterized by elasticity, which protects the finished fabric from deformation. At the final stage of manufacturing, the "cobweb" is treated with a special impregnation, which 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:

  1. Environmental Safety. For the manufacture of the material, exclusively natural ingredients are used that do not cause allergic reactions.
  2. High strength and durability. Fiberglass copes well with both mechanical and temperature influences.
  3. Does not collect dust. Electrostatic inertness avoids the attraction of light debris to the surface of the finish.
  4. Fire safety. Exceptional resistance to fire allows the use of fiberglass to decorate the corridors of large buildings, through which people are evacuated in case of fire.
  5. High reinforcing ability. Cobwebbed base provides durability for the finish coat.
  6. Biological inertness. Fiberglass is not a breeding ground for microorganisms, including mildew and mildew. This is facilitated by the fact that glass fibers are not afraid of water and do not rot in conditions of constant humidity.
  7. High vapor permeability. This makes it possible to avoid "clogging" of the reinforced bases.
  8. 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 appear when cutting the canvases. It is recommended to work in protective clothing, gloves, goggles and a respirator.

Where is the "gossamer" used?

What is fiberglass for:

  1. Reinforcement of walls and ceilings. It can be used to strengthen concrete, brick and other foundations in rooms for various purposes. This is especially true when the surface is being prepared for painting. Thanks to the fiberglass reinforcement, the base is well leveled, without the threat of subsequent cracking.
  2. Corrosion protection. The anti-corrosion properties of glass fibers make it possible to use them to protect metal pipelines for various purposes.
  3. Manufacturing of high quality building materials. Wall panels are often reinforced with fiberglass. In addition, it is included in the composition, indispensable for the arrangement of a soft roof.
  4. Arrangement of waterproofing protection and drainage.

What is fiberglass

The most commonly used types of "cobweb":

      1. 25 g / cm 2. The best fiberglass for the ceiling to be painted, which is facilitated by its light weight and strength. Ceiling "spider web" has a small absorbency, which allows you to save painting material.
      1. 40 g / cm 2. A versatile material that is twice as strong as the previous version. With its help, surfaces that are exposed to increased operational loads (rooms with a high level of vibration) are reinforced. With regard to strengthening the universal "gossamer" ceiling surfaces, this is justified only in the presence of dilapidated plaster and cracks.
      1. 50 g / cm2. This durable material is designed to reinforce large cracks. In addition, it is often used to reinforce enclosing structures in workshops, workshops and garages to protect them from mechanical damage. The increased cost of this type of work is explained by the high cost of the material and the increased consumption of glue for fixing it.
      1. Wellton. This Finnish material can withstand multiple repaints very well.
      2. Oskar. A less expensive Russian analogue, which can be repainted several times, with a small consumption of material. The domestic glass cloth TechnoNIKOL also possesses similar qualities. .
      3. Spectrum. This Dutch company offers high-quality fiberglass of various densities.
      4. Nortex. Chinese manufacturer offering a fairly high quality "spider web". However, its choice is limited only by the universal variety (50 g / cm2).

How to glue the fiberglass on the concrete ceiling yourself


To strengthen a concrete ceiling, a so-called "ceiling spider web" with a density of 25 g / cm2 is usually used. Optimal working conditions are of great importance, since it is recommended to use fiberglass at an air temperature of + 15-25º and a humidity of no more than 60%.

Surface preparation

  1. Before gluing the fiberglass to the ceiling for painting, its surface must be completely cleaned of whitewash, wallpaper and old putty - a bare concrete slab must remain.
  2. If defects in the base are found, they must be eliminated. All protrusions are knocked down with a pickaxe, and the depressions are sealed.
  3. If possible, it is better to lay a leveling layer of starting putty on the concrete surface.

Padding

  1. Primer. After the ceiling is completely dry, it is impregnated with a deep penetration primer. Acrylic compounds are very good in this regard. Thanks 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).
  2. Glue preparation. For this, it is recommended to use special compounds, since it will not work correctly to glue the fiberglass for painting with conventional wallpaper materials. As for PVA, it holds fiberglass well, but later its surface may become covered with yellow spots. It is best to use a special glue for fiberglass and fiberglass, which is sold dry or ready-made (as a rule, good brands of painting canvas are completed with mounting glue 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 webs

  1. Having measured the length and width of the room, then cut the required number of pieces of "cobweb". This is easy to do, since the material is sold in rolls for convenience. The length of the stripes is taken with a certain margin (about 10 cm). The same applies to the width - here you 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 exposure of sharp particles to the skin of the hands, eyes and respiratory system.
  2. The first strip is mounted from the edge of the ceiling, having previously smeared this area with an abundant layer of glue (the canvas absorbs a lot of it). For convenience, it is recommended to beat off a 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 efforts when pressing the tool should not be applied so that the glass fiber does not break (at this stage it is very vulnerable).

How to properly glue the fiberglass strips

The next strip is glued next to the first with a slight overlap (it is immediately cut with a sharp knife, removing the excess parts). For a better finish, it is recommended to additionally coat the joint areas with glue. In the course of gluing the fiberglass, it is important to maintain the continuity of the process by gluing the sheets one by one.

There are inner and outer sides on the painting canvas - it is advisable not to confuse them. The outside is usually rolled inside the roll (it is smoother to the touch).

After the entire ceiling is glued, 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 diluted a little). Fiberglass under the 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" for painting. Enough 1-2 layers of a soft solution of gypsum (Satengips) or ready-made (acrylic) mixture. Such a ceiling should be sanded very carefully, without exposing the fiberglass. As for painting, for this you can use the usual water-based, acrylic or latex paint, which is applied with a fabric roller in two layers.

The putty can be skipped, however, for high-quality painting, in this case, you will have to use 5-6 layers, since the fiberglass has significant absorbing characteristics.

Outcomes

Correctly glued masking fiberglass guarantees excellent quality of the ceiling screed: it will not crack and chip even in conditions of strong vibration. It is allowed to paint such a surface many times. The decision to use or not to use the "cobweb" is influenced by the initial state of the rough base.

Sometimes it is difficult to paint. Sometimes this is a rather difficult task, for the completion of which a certain level of qualification of the master is required. 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, dries not very evenly.

Quite noticeable tears may appear on the surface, which can spoil the appearance. Special material, painting glass canvas, greatly facilitates painting work. It simplifies the preparation of any surfaces for subsequent painting, in addition, prevents the appearance of small and flaws.

The result of painting work from this significantly deteriorates, since the appearance of the surfaces inevitably deteriorates. It is to prevent their formation that a special painting non-woven... With the help of this material, the finishing surface itself is reinforced, that is, reinforced.

What is this miracle fabric? It is a non-woven, rather thin material. It is made up of many glass fibers, differing in their thickness. Their chaotic connection with each other just ensures the impossibility of the formation of noticeable cracks.

Microscopic defects, of course, are 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 the ceiling and walls.

Fiberglass painting cobweb

Its technology is as follows:


All procedures are quite simple, but the main thing when performing them is thoroughness and accuracy. Then you will get the desired result.

When performing all work, certain conditions must be met:

  • there should be no drafts in the room;
  • 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;
  • it is advisable to curtain the windows from bright sunlight.

Painting fiberglass: features and benefits


The material is made from organic resins and mineral fiberglass, and is considered environmentally friendly. Its solid canvas has impressive tensile strength.

Its constituent fibers 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 glass non-woven.

The people call him simply “ cobweb”, Which it somewhat resembles with its soft structure. By type, the material is divided into different 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:
