is the sixth generation interior wall ecological material in Europe, and the application of German wall base fabric in China is becoming more and more widespread. Many people are curious: What is wall base fabric? Is it wallpaper? Is it wall covering ? Is it latex paint? Is diatom mud ? Or art paint ? Not really.
Those who have been to Europe, if you observe carefully, you will find that in developed European countries such as France, Germany, Austria , and Northern Europe, interior wall decoration materials all use a base cloth that can be painted, which is actually the wall base cloth. Whether in hotels, government agencies, hospitals, offices, airports, restaurants, or European homes, wall base fabrics can almost be seen. Wall base fabrics are widely used in Europe.
wall base fabric was invented by a German company and was first used for interior wall reinforcement, anti-cracking and decoration. As the sixth generation of interior wall ecological materials after latex paint, wallpaper, wall covering, diatom mud and art paint, wall base fabric was rapidly promoted once it was launched in Europe, and now it has developed into a must-have for interior wall decoration in Europe. Prepare materials and processes.

What brand of wall base fabric is the best? Germany is the hometown of wall base fabric, so Germany's wall base fabric technology, materials, and craftsmanship are naturally the best in the world. When it comes to the quality and price of wall base fabrics, there are three main considerations: 1. The most basic one is the function 2. The higher level is the decorative effect after matching with painting (tip: the quality of the wall base fabric Good or bad must be identified after the matching paint is applied; taking out a sample of the wall base fabric alone will not be able to identify the quality of the finished wall base fabric after the final painting) 3. The highest level is the environmental protection level of the raw materials and production process. .

Picture: Germany's LECO Group is the world's top wall base fabric brand. A century-old brand with a development history of more than 120 years. It has the largest product series, and its high-end crystal diamond series and flagship all-round series represent the top brands and technologies of wall base fabrics in the world.
1. Basic functions:
is anti-cracking, breathable and mildew-proof, can be renovated and renovated many times, and can be used to renovate old houses without having to deal with the base layer of the wall, etc. This is the most basic function of a wall base fabric. That is to say, whether the wall base fabric is originated in Germany or domestically produced, it generally has these most basic functions.
2. Decorative effect:
The quality of the decorative effect is the watershed of the quality of the wall base fabric. The high-end feel of the finished wall fabrics produced in Germany is essentially different from the low-priced products. This is mainly reflected in the wide width of
, generally 1 meter to 1.06 meters. This is because Germany has developed large-scale modern industrial equipment. It can produce larger width , so the decorative effect is better and the number of seams after being installed on the wall is smaller.
After painting the German original wall base fabric, the seams are not obvious. Many models can achieve the effect of almost invisible seams after painting the German original paint. This is due to the precise verticality of the large German laser cutting equipment. The trimming technology is very mature; but if it is a low-priced product and the trimming process is backward, then the wall base fabric produced will have very obvious positions of each seam after the wall is painted, which greatly affects the aesthetics. It is also very important whether
is equipped with German original wall covering paint. Special paint for wall coverings is specially developed for wall coverings. Major German manufacturers have mature experience in R&D and production of special paints for wall base fabrics. However, small manufacturers of wall base fabrics do not have the ability to develop special paint for wall base fabrics. They often randomly purchase wall paint on the market instead of the original factory special paint. This will cause the wall base fabric to be damaged after painting. The finished product, decorative effect and environmental protection level are greatly reduced.
3. Environmental protection level.
This is currently the most important factor to consider when measuring the price of a wall-based fabric. Many customers will ask a question: How much does wall base fabric cost per square meter? This is mainly determined by the environmental protection level of the raw materials of the wall base cloth. The environmental protection level of materials and production processes plays a decisive factor in the price of a wall base fabric.For a wall base fabric that has obtained EU confidence textile: OEKE-TEX certification, the procurement cost of its raw materials is often 3-4 times that of non-certified materials. This is because the raw materials that have passed OEKE-TEX textile certification have a uniform diameter and should not be too thick to irritate the skin, nor too thin to cause inhalation by construction workers. The wall base fabric that has passed the OEKO-TEX certification on the label is non-irritating to the skin, there is no fiber dust during the construction process, the wall base fabric after painting is more delicate and smooth, and the fiber material that has passed the certification has reached the EU baby level textile grade.
Special paints for wall base fabrics originating in Germany often pass the Flower of the European Union or German Blue Angel certification, and are tested by the German TUV testing agency. Many of the raw material grades of latex paint have reached E0 level, so Germany imports Flower of the European Union or German Blue Angel. The purchasing cost of raw materials for Blue Angel certified paint is also 3-5 times that of non-certified paint. Every batch of imported paint from Germany must pass customs sampling inspection before it can be put on the market for sale. This is virtually equivalent to authoritative agencies such as customs endorsing the products purchased by end consumers. This has also resulted in a longer storage and transportation cycle for latex paint imported from Germany, further raising the cost of latex paint imported from Germany. (About: The price of wall base cloth? How much does wall base cloth cost per square meter? This is actually mainly determined by the environmental protection level of the raw materials of glue, cloth, and topcoat. There is a big difference between different environmental certification levels. It may be Reaching 3-5 times; the prices of products that have obtained various top EU certifications are relatively high) The hometown of
wall base fabric is Germany. So when it comes to wall base fabric ranking list franchise, which brand of wall base fabric is better?
Naturally, German brands are indispensable. Wall base fabric was first introduced to China from Europe, so almost all wall base fabric brands and factories with a long history are in Europe.

Since 1878, brothers Adolf Müller and Hermann Müller have jointly determined the style of wallpaper and wall coverings in the German Angel Wall Company, keeping up with the spirit of the times. They used very advanced technical equipment at the time. With the production of the first 8-color printing equipment in 1889, the tones of the products became more and more colorful. The architect Emil Müller was largely responsible for Erismann's successful development: in 1897 he built the company's new printing workshop. At that time, the wallpaper and wall covering industry was booming.

Picture: Mr. BENGT HEDESTAM, founder of HGT brand, Austrian. The background is one of the raw materials of HGT: high-purity polycrystalline stone. The HGT Haigibu brand was initially produced only in Austrian factories, and the founder of the brand was also an Austrian national. Therefore, Haigibu was often called Austrian Haigibu by users to distinguish it. At present, the origins of Austrian Hegibu brand products are mainly in Germany, and some are also produced in Austria, the Czech Republic, etc. All HGT Haijibu brand products are imported to China from Europe. Haigibu has developed from a local Austrian brand into an international brand with production bases across Europe.
Although Haijibu is a registered trademark, because Haijibu was the first to introduce wall base fabric from Europe to China and is very well-known in the domestic market, many customers mistakenly think that the wall base fabric is Haijibu. Haijibu and its homonym haijibu have almost become synonymous with wall base cloth. Many customers habitually use wall base fabric as Haiji fabric or Haiji fabric.
Austria is the birthplace of the HGT brand. HGT was originally produced by the HORNSTEIN GLASTEXTILE Group in Austria. H is pronounced as sea in German , and G is pronounced as Ji in German. TEXTILE means textile cloth. The Chinese name of the brand was developed from this.So far, HGT has developed into one of the largest wall fabric groups in Europe.

HGT Haijibu brand was invited to participate in the World Architects Congress held in China in 1998. Since then, it has rapidly become popular in the field of architectural decoration. A large number of national key projects, such as the earliest National Congress site, the Dalian yacht inspected by Chairman Jiang, and the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, all use imported HGT sea cloth. Although all HGT Haijibu products are originally imported from Europe, their prices are relatively low among imported brands, and imported products are more cost-effective. Since the brand has not implemented a brand store system, the professionalism of the agents is not high, and there are many fakes of this brand in the domestic market. Most of the agents are consignments. Currently, the brand is only found in Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places. Specialty store, not yet found in other cities. Consumers still need to have certain professional knowledge when purchasing. It is best to learn the details of the brand through official channels such as the official website of the HGT brand and Tmall flagship store .
