TESTIMONIAL THURSDAY - Invisible Decorators Skim Tape

The testimonial speaks for itself - our skim tape is practical, effective and a 'lovely' product to use.

When filling cracks, our invisible skim tape is a great option which will save you time. The tape is only 0.15mm thick, making it one of the thinnest tapes on the market and only requires one coat of filler.

Our tape is 10cm wide and is on a 25m roll - if you would like a sample, please send a message.

INVISIBLE DECORATORS' GLASS SCRIM

Our ‘Invisible Decorators' Glass Scrim’ is only 0.15mm thick, making it the thinnest glass scrim on the market.

This allows you to hide the scrim with one coat of filler, reducing drying time and ultimately allowing you to work faster.

The glass scrim is supplied on a roll 10cm wide and 25m long, as opposed to the traditional roll of 5cm by 20m.

We love to receive the volume of positive feedback we get on all our products, especially when people are using the VPP200 glass lining fleece. Below you will find a few words from Martin Jackson, of Buvura Designs at The Grand Hotel, Tynemouth.

"We have been using Vitrulan's VPP 200 product for over 12 years. It's the best for restoration work and to prevent the finished surface breaking down due to hair line cracks. Plus, with it being one meter wide, it easily covers larger areas, and you don't get any join lines. In summary, it's a fantastic product which we use for every job."

The VPP200 glass lining fleece is an exceptional solution that can offer remarkable advantages. Take a look at the wall depicted in this image; it is an ideal candidate for utilising the VPP200!

With the sun casting its glow on the surface, this remarkable product ensures a uniform and flawless finish. Not only that, but it also seamlessly reinforces the plaster work, making the joints practically invisible. The VPP200 is truly a game-changer in enhancing the aesthetics and durability of any surface it is applied to.

“Our property was built in 1831, the walls are lath and plaster and they were in a pretty bad condition”

“When we took the wallpaper off they were extremely lumpy and needed extensive filling and sanding before anything else could be done.”

"Our professional decorator, advised us 'It doesn’t matter how good you are with paper, they all start pulling at some stage, but the VPP200 glass lining fleece hung very easily and butted together nicely'".

“There was no movement in the VPP200, so when you butt it up it stays where it is, unlike lining paper.”

“We noticed that the wall covering bonded with the wall - In fact, the builder who did the property told us that when you drill holes into it, you’d think it was part of the wall, it was that stable.”

As a homeowner, ours was a major makeover but I thought the glass wall covering was worth trying.

“It is fantastic. The walls aren’t completely even – it’s an old house, that is never going to happen – but you can’t see the joins at all and the wall covering has done a super job.”
