Light as paper and strong as steel, glass fibre wallcoverings have been a design staple in Europe for decades, and now, they’re finally arriving in the Caribbean! Unlike traditional wallpapers, Systexx glass fibre by Nordic Look is an ultra-durable, textile-based wallcovering that withstands heavy wear and tear. It also tightly bonds to surfaces and is breathable, which prevents peeling even in high humidity—perfect for Caribbean climates.
Recently, Harris Paints, the official distributor for Systexx in the Caribbean, invited Rasmus Gullander, CEO and founder of Nordic Look, to showcase this innovative product in Barbados. During a seminar for architects, construction professionals, and hoteliers, Gullander highlighted Systexx’s seamless, easy-to-apply design and demonstrated how effortlessly it can be repaired.
Widely trusted by top hotel brands like Sandals, Marriott, Hilton, and Hard Rock, Systexx wallcoverings are known for exceptional durability and performance in these key areas:
Quick Application: Unlike traditional wallpaper, Systexx comes in rolls and doesn’t require perfectly smooth, crack-free walls. It easily covers cracks and holes up to 2mm, allowing you to skip multiple rounds of wall prep. As a result, projects move faster, and costs decrease significantly.
Renovation Ready: For renovation projects, Systexx can be applied over old surfaces, reducing the dust and delay associated with demolition. It’s a fantastic solution for tight turnarounds.
Impact and Scratch Resistant: Systexx isn’t your typical wallpaper—it’s built tough to withstand daily wear, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
Crack Resistant: Systexx not only hides existing cracks but reinforces walls to prevent new cracks, reducing maintenance.
Fire Resistant: Rated Class A for fire resistance, Systexx offers enhanced safety, particularly important for commercial and public spaces.
Moisture Resistant: The breathable, vapor-permeable material resists mold and mildew, ideal for humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Its breathable nature means mildew won’t form behind it, and unlike vinyl wall coverings, Systexx won’t peel in high humidity.
Long-Lasting: Minimal upkeep and decades-long durability make Systexx a fantastic alternative to paper or vinyl wallcoverings.
Washable & Repairable: Cleaning is easy, and minor damages can be patched without replacing entire sections, keeping spaces looking fresh with minimal effort.
Effortless Application: No adhesive is necessary—simply activate the textile with water and apply. The easy installation makes it a straightforward project for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
Sound Insulation: Systexx includes special acoustic textiles that reduce sound transmission, great for noise-sensitive spaces.
High Hygiene: Seamless applications withstand rigorous cleaning, making them perfect for healthcare settings.
Low VOC: Free from harmful agents, Systexx has low VOC emissions, supporting healthier indoor air quality.
Eco-Friendly: Made from natural quartz, Systexx aligns with sustainable building practices.
