What is PURE COTTON wall covering?

PURE COTTON is also known as LIQUID WALLPAPER, COTTON PLASTER or JAPANESE DECORATIVE PLASTER.

Our product is very similar to that, but our product is made from 100% pure new cotton with natural dyes from MICA stones.

The accent pieces are also made of a sustainable, natural material. Furthermore, our own plantation and production process are sustainable (solar panels) and naturally dried by the sun.

Liquid wallpaper, also called Japanese decorative plaster or cotton plaster, is a decorative wall covering sold as a dry mixture. The mixture consists of natural fibers, such as cotton, and linseed oil as a binder and decorative additives. Adding water creates a liquid mass that is applied to the wall with a trowel.

Composition and properties

Liquid wallpaper is made from the following materials:

• Natural fibers: The base consists of cotton, with or without silk.
• Binder: Linseed oil as a binder and a water-based adhesive.
• Decorative elements: Think of glass glitter, mica stone minerals.

Advantages

• Seamless finish: Because liquid wallpaper is applied seamlessly, there are no visible seams or transitions, which is often the case with traditional wallpaper.
• Hides imperfections: The material can fill small cracks and imperfections in the wall, creating a smoother finish.
• Easy to repair: Damage can easily be repaired by wetting the damaged area, removing the material and applying a new layer.
• Eco-friendly and breathable: Made with natural materials and free of harmful VOCs. The breathable structure also helps regulate humidity.
• Sound and heat insulation: The fibrous structure of the material provides additional sound and heat insulation.
• Anti-static: It repels dust and dirt.
• Suitable for ceilings: The seamless finish also makes it ideal for covering ceilings.
• Fire resistant properties with fire safety certificate.

Disadvantages

• Cost: Liquid wallpaper is generally slightly more expensive than traditional wallpaper or paint.
• Long drying time: Applying liquid wallpaper is time-consuming and can take up to 48 hours to dry completely.

Application

1. Preparation: The wall must be cleaned (and possibly pre-treated with a primer) to ensure that the cotton adheres properly.
2. Mixing: The dry mixture is mixed with water according to the instructions on the packaging.
3. Application: The paste is spread over the surface with a special transparent trowel. It is important to apply it in an even layer.
4. Drying time: Let the cotton dry completely. The exact time depends on the thickness and environmental factors.
