WALLS HAVE YEARS WITH GLASSTEX

It’s fire proof, vandal proof and anti bacterial; it’s low maintenance and — not least - it looks good for years. So it’s little surprise that the Glasstex System is rapidly becoming architects and specifiers’ first choice for wallcovering.The Glasstex System, developed and distributed exclusively by Eclipse Wallcoverings, is the tough, natural and easy-to-apply wallcovering. Glasstex is literally becoming a permanent feature of public buildings, hospitals, medical centres, offices and homes across Europe. Allan Thomas from Eclipse said: “The great thing about Glasstex is that it has so many outstanding properties. It’s a real innovation in interior decorating because it can be applied so simply, so quickly and so effectively in so many environments. “Glasstex is already used as an internal wallcovering in 95 per cent of hospitals across Europe. It is rapidly gaining popularity among architects and specifiers working on projects as varied as hotels, restaurants, museums, offices and leisure facilities. “Indeed its properties are so good that Glasstex is increasingly used by responsible social landlords as the wall covering in public housing projects.” Glasstex, made from natural non-toxic materials, can be applied to almost any surface even cracked and uneven ones. Once in place the wallcovering actually strengthens the building’s structure, resisting even extreme wear and tear. The system also adds to a building’s aesthetic appeal. Glasstex comes in a wide range of textures and styles that can be mixed and matched, and then individualised with a colour, opaque or transparent finish. Because it can be applied to materials as varied as wood and plastic to gypsum board and concrete, it can be used on almost any surface including walls, cabinets, doors or dividers. Mr Thomas added: “Glasstex is incredibly tough. It will take knocks that would damage most other wallcoverings or plaster, and has a ‘Class 0’ fire resistance rating by stopping flames spreading horizontally or upwards to the ceiling. “Glasstex is also the healthy option. The nature of the system means it doesn’t harbour parasites like mites nor does it allow the build up of static electricity — a key element in many allergies. “Used with the right paint it resists moisture, mildew and mould, Glasstex can also be scrubbed and is very easy to clean. Glasstex, quite literally, provides the surface for a healthy life in work, home and leisure.”
