EQ•dekor Fiber Glass

The anti-seismic and waterproof wallpaper suitable for enhancing and decorating the wet areas: bathrooms, showers, kitchens and flooring.

The revolutionary covering with protective and decorative function originates from the cooperation between Inkiostro Bianco and Mapei. EQ•dekor is a structure of bidirectional fabric made of fiber glass with much stability, efficiency and flexibility than traditional wallpaper.

Wallpaper where you wouldn’t expect it!

Because of its elevated technical performances, it can be installed on surfaces where normal wallpaper would not be suitable, such as the inside of the shower, the back of the kitchen and the floor of domestic and high-traffic rooms.

When decoration means protection.

The fiber glass by Mapei is a structural component for the construction industry and its aim is to reduce the risk of detachment in case of earthquake.
Inkiostro Bianco had the idea to print a decoration on this material. This is the birth of EQ•dekor, that, thanks to its early function, has a better wear resistance rather than the other fibre glass products on the market.
