Wall coverings

This category brings together paintable technical wall coverings and their accessories: renovation fleece, fibreglass fabric, anti-crack tapes and decorative corner beads. These products are used to prepare and reinforce a surface before painting. They conceal minor imperfections, stabilise hairline cracks and create an even base on walls and ceilings. They suit tradespeople renovating tired plasterwork as well as homeowners restoring an older house, a common situation in Belgium, where original plaster is often cracked. Choose your product according to the condition of the surface and how the room is used. A lightweight renovation fleece is enough to smooth a ceiling or a wall with minor damage. A heavier-weight fibreglass fabric provides greater durability in hallways, stairwells and high-traffic rooms. For an isolated crack or a plasterboard joint, a locally applied anti-crack tape saves you from re-covering the entire wall. Finally, protect external corners exposed to knocks with paintable corner beads, and work out the number of rolls from the actual surface area, allowing extra for pattern matching and offcuts.
