Description:

VITRULAN wall coverings are made by weaving textile glassyarns.
VITRULAN prevent cracks
Available in many 3D design textures.

Q. What is VITRULAN wallcovering?

 

A. VITRULAN wall coverings are made by weavingtextile glass yarns. Glass is melted at very high temperature (morethan 1500° C) & extruded as yarn. These yarns are woventogether as a fabric in various 3D design textures.

 

Q. How is it installed?

 

A. VITRULAN wall coverings are stuck to the wallusing special adhesive like a normal wall paper. After the adhesivehas dried, painting must be done over it.

 

Q. What type of substrate / surface isrequired for installing the VITRULAN?

 

A. The surface has to be smooth, stable & wellprimed, if the wall is suspected to have dampness, the surfacingfor that area has to be done with good quality white cement puttywhich has to be sanded & primed.

 

Q. Is painting a must over VITRULAN wallcoverings?

 

A. Yes. Painting with appropriate paint forms aperfect composite which solves all the wall problems.

 

Q. What are the benefits of using VITRULANWall coverings?

 

A. The following are the benefits of VITRULAN wallcoverings,

 

1. Prevents cracks: VITRULAN wall coveringsreinforce the wall. It is known a fact that glass is stronger thansteel when compared weight to strength (i.e. 1 kg of Glass fabricis stronger than 1 Kg of Steel sheet)
2. Breathable walls: Because of its wovenstructure, the wall is kept breathable even after several coats ofpaints. By having breathable walls the indoor air quality improves& keeps the wall dry.
3. Economical: VITRILAN wall coverings have along service of 20 years .
4. Convenience: VITRULAN can be re-painted overthe existing painted surface without scrapping the old paint.
5. No-Paint flaking: The micro filament inVITRULAN wall Covering reinforces the paint & reduces theflaking of paints.
6. Washable: VIRTULAN wall coverings withappropriate paints can be washed, scrubbed & disinfected.
7. Anti Static: Glass does not conductelectricity, thereby reducing static electricity in the room &accumulation of dust on walls.
8. Eco-friendly: Glass fabric is an inorganicmaterial which neither contaminates nor does it pollute. Itincreases the life of the plaster reducing debris in the landfill.
9. Fire Resistant: VITRULAN wall coverings arefire resistant; glass melts at 1300° C but cannot burn.
10. Problem Solver: VITRULAN has proved to solve85% of all the wall problems.

 

 

 

Q. Why do cracks appear onwalls? 

 

A. Cracks appear because of 6 main reasons whichare as follows:

 

1. Different rate of expansion & contraction of column &masonry work.
2. Settlement on beams; columns for new building.
3. Shrinkage of plaster after evaporation of water.
4. Vibration & impact rendered on the structure because ofrepairs & hammering etc.
5. Substandard building material & substandardworkmanship.
6. Cracks also develop between old & new plaster

 

Q. How does VITRULAN preventcracks?

 

A. It is a known fact that the tensile strength ispoor compared to its compressive strength, so VITRULAN wallcoverings compensate by giving huge tensile & sheer strength,thus reinforcing the wall. The maximum elongation of VITRULAN glassyarns is 4% so it is the best & ultimate reinforcement for thewall.

 

Q. Why does the paint peel, the wallssprout & become powder?

 

A. The following are the 2 causes:

1. Walls retaining dampness because of reverse capillary action ordead walls exposed to humidity & water.
2. Salts retained in the sand used for plastering, salts tend toabsorb moisture & release moisture in tandem to the relativehumidity.

Moisture travels from a high humidity to lowerhumidity (like osmosis). Most of the paints seal the surfacebecause of which the dampness gets retained in the wall, which isan invitation to microbial growth & damage to thesubstrate.

 

 

Q. How does VITRULAN prevent peeling paints& flaking?

 

A. VITRULAN is a breathable fabric (but waterrepellant on using appropriate coatings), this lets the water vaporescape easily without damaging the wall.

 

Q. How is VITRULAN different or superior towall paper?

 

A. The following are the benefits of VITRULANvis-à-vis Wall Paper (besides the above mentioned benefits):

 

Wall Paper	Vinyl Wall covering	VITRULAN Wall covering
Decorative	Decorative	Decorative problem solver
Life of 2 - 3 years	Life of 3 years max	Life of 20 years
Joints open up	Joints open up	Joints never open up
Lack of flexibility (to change the look the wholewall paper has to be removed.)	Lack of flexibility (to change the look the wholewall paper has to be removed.)	Super convenient (Just repaint the surface on theexisting surface; no need of removing the previous colour.)
