Maybe you have already seen photographs of showers with colourful walls, or wonderful kitchens decorated with wallpaper… Have you ever wondered how that was possible? Certainly the old-fashioned upholstery was not suitable for these uses, and this is infact the difference. The development of new supports and materials, in addition to advances in digital technologies, has made it possible to have high-performance wallpapers to meet the needs of all environments… even those that once seemed the most difficult. So let’s find out together all the characteristics of the fibreglass wallpaper, the most suitable for wet areas.
Fibreglass wallpaper: what material is it?
A fundamental aspect to take into consideration, especially if you are facing a do-it-yourself renovation, or if you are dedicating yourself to furnishing your home online (a very useful practice these days): the materials. In fact, it is important to know the technical characteristics of a support and how this can do for you, or not.
To begin with, Ambientha’s fibreglass wallpaper is a revolutionary fabric with a guarantee of excellent dimensional stability and resistance, certified for fire resistance according to European standards and ideal for wet environments. Given its technical characteristics, it allows good surface coverage and excellent protection against cracks and settling cracks in the walls. Lastly, it is resistant to shocks, tears, abrasions and detergents.
In-depth study: for which environments is the use of fibreglass recommended?
Among the Ambientha wallpapers you can choose the most suitable material for the environment you want to decorate:
Fibreglass wallpapers – ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, covered terraces
PRO vinyl wallpapers – ideal for high traffic spaces (entrances, commercial and public spaces)
LIVING wallpapers in non-woven fabric only – ideal for residential environments, bedrooms and children’s bedrooms
After a quick guide, let’s get into detail. Given its composition, fibreglass has an embossed finish and is the ideal wallpaper for more complicated decoration projects which usually involve damp environments or even walls in direct contact with water… But not only! In fact, it is also possible to choose the solution to improve the acoustic comfort in the interior: the Acoustic fibreglass!
Not just wet areas: Wet fibreglass and Acoustic fibreglass
The acoustics in an environment, especially in the catering sector or in work spaces such as offices and meeting rooms, is a decisive factor in creating comfortable situations and relaxing atmospheres. In very large spaces with essential furnishings (where minimal style reigns supreme with the “less is more” principle) or in rooms with many windows, bright but not very insulating, it is necessary to keep this aspect under control.
In these cases you can choose, in addition to the sound-absorbing materials for the coverings, a wall decoration such as Acoustic wallpaper with fibreglass fabric coupled with an acoustic support. Interior decoration acquires a functional value and not just an aesthetic and decorative value.
