Stained glass under painting

Steklooboi is a wall (sometimes and ceiling) decorative covering. It is made of special glass, which at a temperature of about 1200 ° C is pulled into thin fibers. From them, yarn of different thickness is created. And already this yarn goes to the production of fiberglass wallpaper. Steklooboi under painting every year are becoming more popular. They are both absolutely smooth and relief. The interlacing of fibers imitates various textures and glass mosaics under painting conditionally divided into such species as spiderweb, matting, herringbone and rhombuses.

The gluing of fiberglass does not differ from sticking the usual wallpaper on the ceiling. After drying, fiberglass wallpaper becomes so strong that they easily hold the screws on which the ceiling fixtures are mounted.
