Where can I use VP Fibreglass Wallpaper?
To create smooth walls and protect them from hairline cracks. VP Fibreglass Wallpaper is commonly used in new-build projects because hairline cracks often appear after a few years. Applying VP Fibreglass Wallpaper prevents these cracks from being visible, maintaining a clean and smooth wall appearance. We always advise ensuring walls are prepped for wallpapering before fibreglass wallpaper is applied. If the wall is not ready for wallpapering, stripes or lines may remain visible.
What does pre-painted or pre-treated mean?
Pre-painted or pre-treated refers to a process where the wallpaper is pigmented in the factory. This ensures the wallpaper is already saturated with a coating, meaning only one coat of wall paint is needed instead of two. However, always ensure the appropriate primer is used on absorbent surfaces.
Why should I always choose pre-treated VP Fibreglass Wallpaper?
Without pre-treatment, VP Fibreglass Wallpaper tends to be translucent, exposing all repairs on the wall. The major drawback is that two layers of wall paint are needed instead of one. This not only requires extra paint but also significantly more time. We frequently see untreated fibreglass wallpaper sold in DIY stores, but in the long run, it ends up being a false economy.
What is the product’s coverage per m²?
Estimating coverage can be tricky as customers need to measure their area accurately. We typically account for a cutting loss of 10–20%. Professionals, however, can often achieve a loss of less than 10%.
Which surfaces can VP Fibreglass Wallpaper be applied to?
VP Fibreglass Wallpaper can be applied to any masonry surface. It is essential that all surfaces are prepped and ready for wallpapering.
What weight do you recommend?
Fibreglass wallpaper is available in various types and qualities, with weight being a vital factor. Lightweight wallpaper offers less protection and may allow hairline cracks to become visible. Excessively heavy wallpaper can be challenging to apply. Here’s our advice:
- For new-build projects with prepped walls, 130 grams is sufficient. This is also the most popular weight due to its flexibility and ease of application. Additionally, it effectively conceals hairline cracks and delivers a smooth finish.
- Heavier variants, such as 180 or 200 grams, are recommended for projects like schools and hospitals where durability is paramount.
Which wall paint should I use with VP Fibreglass Wallpaper?
We recommend always using professional wall paint. Combined with our fibreglass wallpaper, it ensures instant full coverage. Relius R1 Pro is arguably the best wall paint on the market. A great alternative is VP Extra Matt, which also delivers excellent coverage in just one application.
Which adhesive do I need and how much?
VP Fibreglass Wallpaper should ideally be applied using fibreglass adhesive, which perfectly complements the wallpaper. Our adhesive is pre-mixed and ready for use. The coverage is approximately 50m² per 10 litres of adhesive.
How much sealant do I need, and which type?
To properly finish Renovlies, sealant is always needed. Use it in corners and along ceilings for a neat and professional finish. First, seal the corners before applying the wall paint so the sealant blends seamlessly. Ceiling edges should not be painted over. Typically, you’ll need one tube of sealant per 25m², depending on the thickness of the sealant beads. We recommend using Seal-it 110 Acrylic sealant, which is flexible and can easily adapt to contractions and expansions.
