Does Vertical Glass Self-Level After Application?

Self-Levelling Explained with Vertical Glass

Vertical Glass is intentionally formulated not to self-level when applied to upright or sloping surfaces. Unlike traditional, runnier epoxy resins that settle into a flat, uniform layer, this unique property means Vertical Glass stays in place where you spread it, preserving sharp lines, embossed details, or creative textures. As a result, you have better control over the aesthetic and dimensional qualities of your wall coverings or cladding panels.

Tips for Applying Vertical Glass Resin

Because Vertical Glass doesn’t self-level, application technique matters. Use a spatula or trowel to distribute the resin evenly over the surface. The resin is ideal for a range of materials, including tiles, cement, bricks, timber, and sanitary ware. For pronounced effects, you can build up areas or create patterns that would be softened or flattened by self-levelling products. Always follow the recommended surface preparation steps and allow the coating to cure fully—typically, you can sand the resin after 48 hours if you’d like a satin instead of a glossy finish.

When Choosing a Non-Self-Levelling Resin Matters

• For projects where maintaining detailed textures, reliefs, or artwork is vital.
• When you want maximum control over the final appearance, without losing sharpness through resin movement.
• For creative wall features or contemporary cladding installations requiring a handcrafted or bespoke finish.
