How to glue glass masonry under painting?

Wall-papers (glass fabric wallpaper) are a woven fabric made of fiberglass of various thickness and density. To give stability, the finished fabric is impregnated with a special composition based on modified starch.

Fiberglass fabric wallpaper possess a number of advantages in comparison with usual wallpaper, in particular:

• 
  fireproof properties;
• 
  ecological compatibility (glass piles are made of natural components);
• 
  strength and durability;
• 
  ease of operation (easy to clean and clean).

Because glass piles are fabric fabric, their surface is textured. Therefore usually during repair glue white glass walls for painting: the paint helps the texture to "play". Fiberglass wallpaper is painted with latex paints or acrylic water-based paints: they are wear-resistant and emphasize the structure of glass walls without clogging it. Steklooboi under the paint can withstand up to 20 repaints, preserving the relief.

How to glue glass masonry under painting?

The technology of gluing glass coverings has its ownfeatures. Nothing complicated, but a few simple rules to know are worth. Firstly, despite the fact that glass piles at first glance seem to be the same on both sides, they have front and back. According to the standard, glass-cloth wallpaper is rolled up face-down inside. On the wallpaper of some manufacturers there is a special strip of blue or gray, indicating the wrong side.

Secondly, the glass pavement needs to be glued for painting special glue for heavy types of wallpaper. It can be bought in ready-made liquid form or inform of powder. The basis of the glue is modified starch, which is also used in the impregnation of fiberglass. The glue is not applied to the canvas itself (as is the case with most other types of wallpaper), but to the glued surface using a roller. If the surface is highly absorbent, the glue is diluted with water.

Before gluing glass cuts are cut using scissors or a paint knife. Work should be in gloves and clothes with long sleeves, because when cutting, glass cloth can crumble, and its particles can cause skin irritation. Cut wallpaper with a small allowance (5-10 cm), so that you can then combine the picture.

Steklooboi can be glued to any surface, it is desirable to prime it beforehand. Steklooboi glue butt, neatly and tightly joining the seams and correctly combining the pattern, so that the texture of the pasted surface eventually turned out to be uniform.

Before you apply to painting the wallpaper, you need Wait until the glue dries. Because both the wallpaper glue, and their impregnationare made on the same basis, they react when drying, and as a result, the fabric is very firmly attached to the surface of the wall or ceiling. Usually such special glue dries about a day. As in the case of conventional wallpaper, glass sheets should be protected from drafts and direct sunlight immediately after gluing.

As already mentioned above, the glass pavements are painted with water-emulsion or water-dispersive paint with high wear characteristics. Before painting glassworks need primed with a dilute glue solution. The fact that the glass wool very well absorbs the paint, so without a primer you will take much more paint. It is recommended to apply the paint in two layers with an interval of 10-12 hours.

If after some time you want to changeinterior of the room and repaint the fiberglass wallpaper, you can apply a new layer of paint directly over the old one. In the event that you plan to repaint the wallpaper, you need to purchase painting under painting with a deep texture - if the texture of the wallpaper is poorly expressed, after a few colorings it will be lost.

Steklooboi under painting can be glued not only inresidential, but also in public premises (offices, hotels). Some even believe that they are more suitable for public premises, because their it is quite difficult to tear off the wall. But if you do not plan for abrupt changes in the interior, then the wallpaper for painting is what you need.
