Products
Glass wall coverings and reinforcing mesh provide clients with an engineered solution to an extensive range of building and product requirements. All products are extremely easy to install and the company can offer on or off-site training which covers measuring, adhesive application and applying the product to the wall or ceiling surface. The unique properties of glass fabric make it ideal for a wide range of applications. Glass is inorganic and contains no harmful chemicals or softeners and cannot harbour moulds or fungi. With a high tensile strength, glass fabrics are extremely impact resistant and are extensively used in heavy footfall areas such as hotels, hospitals and school corridors.
Glass fabric products suited to renovation projects, transforming crumbling plaster walls into smooth surfaces, hiding existing cracks and preventing the occurrence of more cracks. Glass fabrics are fire retardant, breathable and environmentally friendly. For areas where hygiene is of paramount importance such as hospitals and other medical environments, glass fibre can be accompanied by a suitable paint to provide sealed walls that can be scrubbed with strong disinfectants as part of the continued fight against the spread of superbugs.
Wall Coverings
Glass can be manufactured in the form of yarn and woven into a fabric, providing an unrivalled finish to meet and exceed the most rigid of standards set out by architects and specifiers. Glass fabric wall coverings are extremely hardwearing, cost effective and resistant to wear and tear that greatly affects painted plaster walls and wallpapered surfaces. Glass fabric wall coverings are easy to apply in a vast range of finishes including smooth and textured finishes. A magnetic finish is also available which allows for the creation of notice boards that do not require pins, nails or sticky tape. The magnetic wall covering is hung in a similar way to traditional wallpaper and allows the use of magnets that will not damage the surface, whilst providing the same hygienic and reinforcement properties of the other products.
Glass Mesh
The Glass Fabric Company offers a wide range of glass reinforcing mesh fabrics and mesh/mat composites. Reinforcing mesh provides significant benefits when applied to a plaster system either internally or externally, especially with EWI (External Wall Insulation) systems or where superior quality, crack resistant, long lasting results must be achieved for internal ceilings and walls. Glass mesh is also used to reinforce polystyrene and mineral wool systems, in bitumen roofing membranes, acoustic panels, cement and foam core board products. The product range can be manufactured to meet individual specifications such as low PCS values and is supplied in widths of up to three metres and in glass reinforced coils.
The Glass Fabric Company is dedicated to providing customers with a product that is right for each particular application. With many years of industry experience, the team has built up an extensive knowledge and understanding of the systems and their benefits. The cost effective solutions are designed to be robust, hygienic, fire resistant, eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. The company welcomes enquiries from private and commercial clients for both small and large scale projects.
