They look great both on the walls, and on the ceiling or furniture facades.
Glass-cloth wallpaper is characterized by increased strength and has many positive characteristics:

- ease of operation - the ability to remove contaminants from the surface, both water and detergents;
- strength - the fabric withstands high loads;

Technology of glazing
- First of all, it is necessary to prepare the surface for pasting. To do this, remove the old paint or wallpaper before the layer of plaster. Existing irregularities and surface defects need to be plastered. And puttying is not necessary, since the texture structure of the wallpaper will hide small flaws. The preparatory stage of the treatment is completed by applying to the surface a fungicidal composition and a primer for protection against mold and fracture.
- The next stage is the selection and preparation of glue for fiberglass wallpaper. The glass wool sheet has much more weight than a strip of paper wallpaper, so choosing the right glue for fiberglass with the appropriate technical characteristics is very important. This mixture has higher adhesive properties, so you can not remove wallpaper from fiberglass without the use of special solvents. In most cases, the manufacturer applies special glue to each roll of wallpaper. If, however, in the complete set with the wallpaper there was no special glutinous mixture, you can buy such glue for fiberglass wallpaper:
- Adhesive for heavy types of wallpaper (the inscription should be present on the package). Such glue mixtures based on PVA have excellent adhesive properties and reliably adhere the web to the surface;
- Dispersive adhesives are designed specifically for fiberglass wallpaper and are particularly strong.
If necessary, you can buy glass-adhesive glue with additional qualities to increase the drying speed, increase moisture resistance or prevent the appearance of fungus and biological parasites. The consumption of glue is calculated from the calculation of 200-300 g per 1 square meter. glass wallpapers.
How to glue glass walls?

In the roll, glass piles are arranged face-to-face. Also for convenience, the wrong side is marked with a colored strip. Glue for wallpaper made of fiberglass is applied exclusively on the surface to be treated, and not on wallpaper.
Next, the gluing of glass coverings coincides with the process of pasting with any other kinds of wallpaper. The roll is cut into sheets, which are glued to butt. If there is a picture, then the bands are respectively combined. The air is removed with a plastic spatula, and the joints are wiped with a clean cloth.
After the glue has completely dried, it remains only to paint the wallpaper with paint. And the possibility of multiple staining of fiberglass, will make the surface okleennoy neat and beautiful for many years.
