Field of Application
By varying the design, type, colour, gloss level and coating technique, highly attractive, valuable and individual wall surfaces can be achieved with Capaver glass fabrics. If there is a desire to change the visual appearance or new usage requirements for surfaces, these can be realised simply, quickly and economically by coating as required.
Material Properties
- Pigmented pre-coating.
- Homogeneous, distinctive structural appearance.
- Highly resistant to moisture and safe to work with.
- Rot-proof, dimensionally stable.
- Crack-bridging.
- Classified according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
Material Base / Vehicle
Pre-coated glass fabrics (VB) are made from purely mineral and glass fibre yarns.✱VB German term: vorbeschichtet = pre-coated

Note
Pre-coated glass fabrics (VB) are made of glass fibres with a diameter > 5 µm and are therefore not respirable. Despite the highest level of integration of the glass particles, they can be released to a very limited extent when the fabric is cut to size and cause itching in people with sensitive skin, which subsides once the bonding work is complete. In principle, no more glass fibres are released after coating. We recommend that people who are sensitive to glass fibres take appropriate protective measures during the wallpapering work.
The internal structure of the yarns, combined with an environmentally friendly finish, results in high wet resistance, a closed fabric surface, high suppleness and skin compatibility during application.
For medium requirements and a white to slightly tinted coating with a matt interior colour, one coat is usually sufficient. Depending on the colour tone, gloss level, surface stress, light situation and surface appearance requirements, two coats may be necessary. In principle, the agreed service between the contractor and client applies. A test coating is recommended in advance.
Substrates
Interior surfaces made of mineral plasters of mortar groups PI, PII and PIII, gypsum plasters and finished plasters of mortar group PIV, gypsum plasterboard, gypsum boards, concrete surfaces.
High-contrast substrates such as concrete filigree ceilings must be primed with Caparol HaftGrund EG Other substrates must be tested in advance.
Substrate Preparation
The substrate must be solid, dry, load-bearing, clean, level and free from separating substances. Observe VOB, Part C, DIN 18366, Para. 3. and our Technical Information No. 650. The lower temperature limit for processing is +5 °C for object and ambient temperature.
Note Q2/Q3 levelling / thin layers of gypsum < 0.5 mm
When using gypsum-based, hydraulically setting levelling compounds in quality level Q2/Q3, a transparent, water-based primer is recommended. Please refer to the Maler&Lackierer Merkblatt Nr. 2 -9/2020 "Haftfestigkeitsstörungen von Beschichtungen auf verspachtelten Gips(karton)platten" des Bundesverbandes Farbe, Gestaltung, Bautenschutz und des Bundesausschusses Farbe und Sachwertschutz.
As an alternative to gypsum-based Q3 levelling, levelling with pasty levelling compounds has proven itself.
Method of Application
Adhesive in roll application:
- Apply CapaColl GK or CapaColl VK (up to a surface weight of 150g/m2) evenly with an 18 mm pile roller and lay 1-2 sheets depending on local temperature conditions.
- Caution! Take particular care to ensure that the adhesive is distributed as evenly as possible, as accumulations of adhesive under the fabric can have a negative effect on the final surface appearance.
Adhesive application by spraying:
- The spraying method is only suitable when at least 3 people are involved.
- CapaColl VK can be applied to the wall using airless equipment.
- CapaColl GK should be diluted with 20 % water depending on the local conditions.
- Important! When spraying, pay particular attention to the recommended material consumption and even distribution so that not too much adhesive is applied to the substrate.
Tip! For detailed information on spraying CapaColl, please refer to the corresponding spraying data sheet in the download area or in our spraying technology manual.
Embedding/bonding:
- To avoid structural differences, never glue upside down or upside down.
- We recommend butt-joint bonding for glass fabrics.
- Caution! The sheets must be tightly butted in the seam area. However, this must not lead to bulging in the joint area and therefore a poor seam appearance.
- Use a wallpapering trowel to press the bonded strips onto the substrate over the entire surface and without bubbles. Cut off any excess with the wallpapering trowel while fixing the edges.
- When bonding in the area of perpendicular external corners, the fabric must be guided at least 10 cm around the corner.
- For non-perpendicular outside corners, the fabric must be cut at the corner.
Surface Coating System
Intermediate Coat:The intermediate coat forms the basis to achieve a perfect finishing coat. The intermediate coat can only be applied when adhesive and fabric are completely dry, and should be tinted to match the finishing coat in shade. Apply one filling intermediate coat of Capaver Gewebegrundierung before applying coats of thin film paint, e.g. latex paints.
Finishing Coats:
Selection of suitable products for finishing coats is depending on the degree of expected loads and desired gloss level. Coatings must be applied wet-on-wet (also effective for trimming areas). See the following table for further information.

Drying/Drying Time
Allow bonded fabric lengths to dry thoroughly before any further coating.
Note
To avoid differences of appearance in texture/pattern, always place the fabrics running in one direction and not laterally inverted.Capaver wall coverings are thoroughly inspected by the manufacturer. In exceptional cases isolated production related weaving faults may occur. These faults are marked at the trimmed edges and correspondingly compensated. They do not entitle to any objection. While cutting and bonding the fabrics, ascertain whether there are no weaving faults. In case of complaint the label with the batch and product numbers (see original carton) must be kept ready. Claims based on material faults cannot be objected after the application of more than 10 fabric lengths.
