tips and tricks - Preparatory treatment of wall surfaces
 
 
The surface must be dry, clean, smooth and stable. Depending on the condition, the surface should be carefully prepared.
Cracks, holes and uneven spots should be smoothed with a filler and a trowel.
Firm coats of paint, standard absorbent plaster, plaster stucco or plaster board must be pre-treated with primer-sealer.
Extremely smooth surfaces must be sanded, rough surfaces must be smoothed out.
Unstable surface coatings, wallpaper, woodchip paper, non-washable distempers or flaking coat must be completely removed.
The wall surface should be treated with primer-sealer.
If a silky or glossy coat of paint is to be applied to the glass déco fabric, any uneven plaster or plasterboard should be smoothed with a filler over the whole area.
The wall surface should be treated with primer-sealer.
Wall surfaces affected by mould or mildew should be pre-treated with a suitable agent. If wall surface is extensively affected by mould or mildew, clean mechanically and then wash thoroughly.
Wall surfaces stained with nicotine or soot should be treated with a special insulating primer.
Wax coated chipboard, wood and hard board should be sanded and then treated with primer before paste application.
 
 
 
Unstable wall surfaces
Loose, unstable material should be removed manually or mechanically and be repaired.
If this requirement is not met, the resulting surface finish may be affected considerably by partial peeling and/or formation of pockets.
The reinforcing effect of glass déco fabrics cannot be reached.

Unevenness of surface
Uneven wall surfaces will provide an unsuitable substrate particularly with fine to medium types of glass déco fabrics.
Only a smooth, well-prepared surface shows the elegance of the various glass déco fabric textures.
 
 
 
Wall repairs
Uneven wall repairs will remain visible after application of glass déco fabric, especially in the sidelight.
Please note:
The finer the texture of the fabric, the more carefully the surfaces should be treated.
