"Hornbill" - one of the types of this product, perhaps the most dense and secure. Such material is suitable for any premises, including those with high humidity, they are glued not only to walls and ceilings, but also doors and furniture.

Glass fiber is a material made on a special loom. It is based on glass cloth threads obtained by melting glass at high temperatures. To give strength, the resulting fabric is treated with starch impregnations, after which it is painted with water-based dyes with latex additives.The quality of fiberglass is determined by the number of threads that create a certain density and, accordingly, strength.

Roll coating varies in its texture and pattern, depending on the weaving. In this regard, such species as "Rhombus", "Fir-tree", "Gunny" are distinguished. However, different manufacturers may have other patterns and textures.

Covering "Hornbill" is available in the form of products with small, medium and large texture. The main difference between these types is the density of the material. Small products have a density of 120 g / m2, the average - 130 g / m2, the most durable and reliable fabric with a large invoice has an indicator from 130 to 200 g / m2. The coating is available in rolls of 25 or 50 meters with a standard width of 1 meter.

Also glass fiber materials can be classified by quality. Allocate products of the 1st grade, class "economy", 2nd grade. This means that first-class glass wall murals meet all the stated requirements and are a high-quality product. Material "economy" class less dense, and therefore less reliable in use. Second grade - is, to put it mildly, a marriage that professionals do not advise to acquire.
