EQ-DEKOR: decorated fibreglass wall covering for walls, floors and wet surfaces.
The collaboration between Inkiostro Bianco and Mapei has resulted in the creation of a revolutionary covering with a dual decorative and protective function.
EQ-dekor is a bi-directional fibreglass fabric reinforcement with characteristics of greater stability, efficiency, lightness and flexibility than a traditional wallpaper.
Because of its high resistance to wear, it is ideal for application in wet areas or areas with high footfall, such as floors, kitchens and bathrooms.
When decoration is synonymous with protection
Mapei's fibreglass was created as a structural component for the building industry with the aim of minimising the risk of components detaching from walls in the event of an earthquake.
Inkiostro Bianco's intuition was to propose printing the material for decorative purposes. This led to the creation of EQ-dekor which, thanks to its original function, has superior wear resistance characteristics to other glass fibres available on the market.
The material
EQ-dekor is a special bi-directional fabric consisting of glass fibres that have been surface-treated with an alkali-resistant, polyurethane-based primer. It is to be used in combination with a ready-to-use one-component water-based adhesive with a polyurethane dispersion base and the FINISH 58 top coat.
Advantages
- resists tensile strength, weathering abrasion and scuffing
- unalterable resistant to chemical attack by concrete
- high dimensional stability
- does not rust
- light and easy to handle
- easy to cut and adapt to the substrate shape
- quick application and commissioning
- does not yellow
- odourless
- resistant to ultraviolet rays
EQ-dekor is made entirely in Italy and complies with European health and environmental regulations.
The raw material is purchased in the form of rolls from Mapei which ensures the maximum guarantee of product quality.
Production is in-house in all its phases: from the creation of the graphics, to printing with advanced digital technologies that guarantee maximum resolution even on large sizes. All projects are characterised by a strong possibility of customisation.
GEOMETRIC
Lines and colours change the surfaces into a composition of different shapes. The Geometric style of Wallcovering Collection 2017/18 breaks the rules with its geometric regularity.
VINYL WALLPAPER
Vinyl wallpaper is made up by two layers: the front layer in vinyl, which is printable, and the back layer in TNT (non-woven fabric), which confers high dimensional stability during the installation and the drying procedure. Also worth noting is the ease of installation and of the possible removal from the surface.
The vinyl wallpaper is the creative decoration for wall surfaces and furnitures.
EQ•DEKOR FIBRA DI VETRO
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 more stability, efficiency and flexibility than traditional wallpapers. EQ•Dekor is a structural component and its aim is to reduce the risk of detachment in case of eathquake.
Decorated glass fibre glass for floorings, bathrooms and kitchens.
Thanks to its extraordinary wear resistance and its waterproof features, it is suitable for the installation in wet areas, in rooms prone to splashes and spillage such as bathrooms, showers and SPA as well as heavy underfoot wear and tear such as floor and kitchens.
TELA® TAFFETÀ - The new covering for temporary set-ups. A type of Made in Italy polyester stretched fabric with very high resistance due to the exclusive weft composition of 110 threads per inch.
Every ambience has a story to tell. Decorations morph into art which communicates.
Look at surfaces through different eyes.Every space hides concealed harmonies awaiting to be unveiled. All surfaces seek their own individual identity. Wall decoration then becomes a tool for artistic expression and personal storytelling.
Wallpaper stands as an out-and-out element for expressing your own individual style and identity, as well as the evolution of interior design. Evocative visuals spread out on the walls will amplify the perception of the space while transforming the feel of living in the surroundings itself.
There’s a time for creating, and one for expressing. There’s a time for designing, and one for living. Every moment is right to decore.
Creative Thinking.Creative thinking is a continuous stimuli. A natural instinct to look beyond the surface. An impulse to modify the matter and space to create unchartered feelings which let emotions come alive. Overcome limitations.

The evolution of materials.Inkiostro Bianco creates new dimensions through experimenting with various materials. Wall covering moves from one surface to the other across a creative path which alternates art, digital graphics and technology. All artworks can be printed on different materials, depending on the final surface where they will be hung.
New artists joined the already active cooperation thus widening the offer of the company creative portfolio. Giulia Ronchetti’s artworks get their inspiration from fairytales but moreover from the animal and natural universe. Daniela Dallavalle lets her imagination run wild through multiple creative expressions, Marco Lazzarato and his pieces of arts and the eclectic designs by Andrea Stramigioli. Nerodiseppia creations complete the artistic range with a variety of unique inspirational artworks as well as the artistic works of the young Indian artist Eesha Chordia.
All phases of production are carried out internally: from the creation of graphics, created by a network of designers and artists, to the printing of paper using advanced digital technologies. Most of the projects can be customized on demand.
