How to glue and paint fiberglass wallpaper

Fiberglass wallpaper is particularly prominent among modern types of wallpaper. It is a product characterized by excellent strength characteristics, wear and moisture resistance, and aesthetic appearance. It is easy to glue the glass walls yourself, and then, if desired, paint them. What does this procedure look like?

1. Surface preparation for fiberglass

Of course, due to its large thickness and density, fiberglass wallpaper can mask minor irregularities on the walls. But still, it is better to prepare the rough foundation more carefully at the preparatory stage.

Preparation begins with the removal of old materials and dirt remaining under them. The wall is primed and a leveling layer of plaster or putty is applied. When the applied composition dries, it is again treated with primer.

2. Gluing fiberglass wallpaper

It is not always possible for the owner to immediately determine where the front side of this material is located. The easiest way to do this is by touch. The relief is more pronounced on the front side. In addition to the finishing material itself, you will need an adhesive compound specially designed for it. This adhesive has intense setting properties.

After cutting the glass panels into separate canvases, they are treated with glue, and then the adhesive composition is applied to the walls. After about 5-10 minutes, they proceed directly to gluing.

The cloth is applied to the treated area, smoothed with a roller, sponge or cloth. There is no need to be afraid of damaging the material, as it is immune to strong mechanical influences. Fiberglass sheets are laid without overlap. They are dense enough to prevent shrinkage.

3. Staining fiberglass wallpaper

It takes about a day for the glue to dry completely. Then they proceed to coloring. Compositions of the water-dispersion type are especially suitable for glass walls. The paint is applied in two layers. The first one plays the role of a primer, and the second one allows you to get the brightest shade. It is better to apply with a soft roller or spray gun to paint the finishing material to the full depth of the relief. By the way, it is not necessary to paint fiberglass wallpaper. Here, the owner must decide for himself whether he is satisfied with the original shade of the material.

There is nothing complicated about this procedure. And by doing it correctly, the owner will receive an excellent wall finish that will last, perhaps, even a whole decade.
