Glass fiber is a breathable material. Due to the air throughput in the room, comfortable conditions are created. Excess moisture, which causes the formation of fungus and bacteria, does not accumulate under the trim and on it.

Due to the special composition of the wallpaper does not accumulate an electric charge, since the glass does not conduct electricity. Due to the special effect, the cleaning process is much easier, because dust practically does not accumulate on the surface. This is a plus from an aesthetic point of view.

Material with glass fibers boasts its durability. The service life of fabrics is many times greater than the performance of wallpaper from other materials, such as paper or fabric. On average, it has about 30 years. Wallpapers are also practical and durable, they do not need to be especially careful, and they are not afraid of injuries from the paws of pets or a bicycle.

Fire safety is very important regardless of the significance of the object. The melting point of glass is 1300 degrees Celsius. Given this fact, the wallpaper from the above material can not be a cause of fire. Under the influence of open fire and high temperatures, the material does not emit harmful substances hazardous to others.
