Features and Benefits

Johns Manville glass textile wall coverings give both style and strength to your walls, with textured panels that are environmentally friendly and easy to apply.

A Healthier Indoor Environment

Our glass textile fabrics are Oeko-Tex certified which means they have no toxic components or substances that could cause an allergic reaction. Their flame retardant composition brings additional safety to your home. They are free of odors and plasticizers, with minimal VOC’s, and also mold and mildew resistant for a healthier indoor environment.

Quality Materials

Glass textile fabric is a natural, environmentally friendly product. Sand, soda, lime and clay are melted into glass which is spun into a thread. These threads are made into a textile in a variety of patterns and structures. This pliable wall canvas can then be applied edge to edge then painted over to provide a seamless surface.

Easy To Install

Glass textile fabrics can be applied to almost any surface, even rough textures. Soft, pliable and easy to handle, they regain their shape without creases, making installation around corners and edges easier than other wall coverings. Adhesive is applied to the wall rather than the covering for a faster, cleaner job.

Competitively Priced

Compared to vinyl, wallpaper and paint, the installed costs of glass textile fabrics are very competitive. But they provide even greater value on a life-cycle basis. The durable finish requires minimal maintenance and can be repainted up to 8 times, adding years to the life of your walls.

Durable and Decorative

Glass textile fabrics have the dimensional stability and resiliency to go over irregular surfaces, and even cracks in the wall. Certain textures can even be applied directly over existing paneling. Its strength can hide many imperfections. Once applied it stands up to tough treatment and, depending on the paint used, is easily cleaned.

Environmentally Friendly

Made from natural materials, glass textile fabrics become an integral component of the wall as well as a sustainable architecture. They contain no harmful chemicals and emits no VOC's in either its production or when installed in your home.
