Glass fiber "matting" in interior design

Glass wallpaper is an innovative coating that, due to its strength and durability, is gradually replacing the usual paper wallpaper. "Rogozhka" - one of the types of this product, perhaps the most dense and safe. Such material is suitable for any premises, including those with high humidity, they are pasted over with it not only walls and ceilings, but also doors and pieces of furniture.

Glass fiber is a material made on a special weaving machine. It is based on fiberglass threads obtained by melting glass at high temperatures. To impart strength, the resulting fabric is treated with starch impregnations, after which it is painted with water-based dyes with latex additives. The quality of fiberglass is determined by the number of threads that create a certain density and, accordingly, strength.

The roll cover differs in its texture and pattern, depending on the weaving. In this regard, such species as "Rhombus", "Yolochka", "Rogozhka" are distinguished. However, different patterns and textures may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

The coating "Rogozhka" is produced in the form of products with small, medium and large texture. The main difference between these types is the density of the material. Small products have a density of 120 g / m2, medium - 130 g / m2, the most durable and reliable fabric with a large texture has an indicator from 130 to 200 g / m2. The coating is available in rolls of 25 or 50 meters with a standard width of 1 meter.

Also, fiberglass materials can be classified by quality. Allocate products of the 1st grade, class "economy", 2nd grade. This means that the first-class fiberglass wallpaper meets all the stated requirements and is a high-quality product. Economy class material is less dense, and therefore less reliable in use. The second grade is, to put it mildly, a marriage that professionals do not advise to acquire.
