The category
Not paint. Not wallpaper. A different kind of wall surface.
BELKA arrives dry, in a bag. You mix it with water, let it rest, and spread it on the wall with a trowel. It dries into roughly 2 mm of cotton fibre with visible depth and a textile feel.
You may have found us as BELKA wallpaper. It is the name the product has carried in English for years — but what arrives is not a roll of wallpaper. It is a cotton wall coating, and that difference is the whole point.
- Not paint
- Not roll wallpaper
- No seams or pattern repeat
- Cotton fibre, applied wet
Supplied dry
Natural cotton fibres in a sealed bag. BELKA is supplied dry rather than pre-mixed in a tin.
Mixed with water
Emptied into clean water, mixed by hand, left to rest, then kneaded. No machine, no specialist equipment.
Applied seamlessly
Spread with a trowel in a thin layer. Corners, curves and recesses are worked continuously — there is nothing to line up.
Independently tested
Nine test reports. Eight quality areas.
Every measured value below comes from independent testing. Each card links directly to its source report.

What changes
What a BELKA wall actually does
Six differences you notice in the room, and what each one rests on.
One surface, not many strips
No butt joints, no lifting edges, no repeat to line up. Corners, curves and recesses are worked continuously.
Nothing to match, nothing to come apart
The room sounds softer
Open cotton fibre absorbs sound instead of reflecting it. A room finished in BELKA can have less reflected sound, which can make room echo less pronounced compared with hard walls.
Up to 80% sound absorption · TÜV NORD
The wall feels less cold
A fibre layer sits between you and the masonry, which is why a BELKA wall feels less cold to the touch than bare plaster.

VOC-free
Emissions into room air were measured by an independent institute and documented in full on the certificates page.
Damage is repairable in place
A knocked corner or a scuff is re-wetted, smoothed back and left to dry. With no seams and no pattern, the repair can blend into the surrounding surface — especially with material kept from the original batch.
Local repair, not a re-do of the wall
It feels like textile
Warm and slightly yielding under the hand, with depth that moves as the daylight moves across it.

Surfaces
Works on many prepared interior surfaces
BELKA goes onto what is already there, once the wall is clean, dry, stable and evenly coloured. In most rooms the old surface does not have to come off first — which is what keeps a renovation from becoming a building site.
- Plaster
- Drywall and plasterboard
- Concrete
- Existing wallpaper
- Wood panels
- Chipboard and MDF
- Brick and block
- Primed metal
Absorbent or dusty walls
Prime first, so the wall takes the material evenly instead of drinking it.
Dark or patchy colour underneath
An even base coat stops the old colour showing through a light finish.
Old walls with an unknown history
Send us a photo before you order. We will tell you what the wall needs.
Application
Four steps, no specialist equipment
Customers who had never done a DIY job before describe the application as straightforward. For the application itself the core tools are a trowel, clean water and a mixing container.
-
Prepare the surface
Clean, dry, stable and evenly coloured. Absorbent, dusty or dark walls get a primer or base coat first.
-
Mix with water
Empty the bag into clean water, mix it through by hand, let it rest, then knead it once more before you start.
-
Spread it on
A thin layer with the trowel, about 2 mm, working across the wall in one continuous pass. Wet edges blend into each other.
-
Let it dry
Ventilate the room well and allow enough time. Drying depends on room temperature, air circulation, the substrate and how thickly the material was applied.
Planning
One wall is a complete project
You do not have to empty a house to start. BELKA is planned wall by wall, room by room, at whatever pace the household can take.
-
Work out how much you need
One kilogram covers about 3 m² at the normal application thickness. The wall area calculator subtracts your windows and doors and gives the quantity in kg.
-
Start with the wall that matters
A single feature wall changes how the whole room reads. The rest can follow next month, or next year.
-
Match colours before you commit
Compare tones side by side, or ask us for a recommendation against the light your room actually gets.
In the room
What changes when the wall stops being flat
A painted wall reflects light back at you in one plane. A fibre surface catches it, so the wall has depth that shifts through the day rather than sitting still.
- Daylight moves across the texture instead of flattening it
- Small irregularities in the old wall can become less noticeable
- Reduced reflected sound can make the echo in a room less pronounced
- The fibre surface can feel less cold to the touch than bare plaster
After the wall is finished
What comes up again and again
Four themes recur across the published customer reviews — the awkward one included.
Support
Help at the point where it matters
Most questions come before the order, not after it — which wall, which colour, how much. Ask before you buy.
-
Advice before you order
Send a photo of the wall and tell us the room. We will tell you what it needs and roughly how much.
-
Documentation for specifiers
Nine test reports across eight quality areas, available as documents you can attach to a submittal.

Supply outside Europe
Trade enquiries, container quantities and territory partnerships are handled by the same team.
Before your first wall
The questions people ask first
What exactly is BELKA cotton wall coating?
A dry material made mainly of natural cotton fibres, supplied in a bag. It is mixed with water and spread onto the wall with a trowel, where it dries into a continuous fibre surface of around 2 mm. It is neither paint nor roll wallpaper.
How much do I need for my wall?
One kilogram covers about 3 m² at the normal application thickness. Measure width by height, subtract doors and windows, divide by three, and round up to the next whole pack — or let the wall area calculator do it for you.
Can I apply it myself, or do I need a decorator?
BELKA can be applied as a DIY project, and the published customer reviews include people who started with no DIY experience at all. There is a short learning curve over the first square metre, and after that the pace picks up. For the application itself the core tools are a trowel, clean water and a mixing container.
Which surfaces does it work on?
Plaster, drywall and plasterboard, concrete, existing wallpaper, wood panels, chipboard and MDF, brick and block, and primed metal. The wall has to be clean, dry, stable and evenly coloured. Absorbent, dusty or dark surfaces are primed first.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying depends on room temperature, air circulation, the substrate and how thickly the material was applied. Ventilate the room well, allow enough time, and leave the wall alone until it is dry all the way through.
Is it suitable for bedrooms and children's rooms?
Yes. BELKA is VOC-free — emissions into room air were measured by an independent institute and the full values are published on our certificates page. Material purity was tested separately by SGS.
What happens if the wall gets damaged?
The damaged spot is re-wetted, smoothed back and left to dry. Because there are no seams and no pattern, the repair can blend into the surrounding surface rather than showing as a patch — most reliably with material kept from the original batch. Keep a small amount when you order.
Does it really make a room quieter?
Acoustic performance was measured by TÜV NORD at αw 0.4, absorption Class D, with up to 80% sound absorption. The measured absorption reduces reflected sound, which can make the echo in a room less pronounced.
Do you supply distributors and trade partners?
Yes. BELKA is supplied in more than 40 countries, in container quantities, with territory partnerships available where the market is open. See partnership and supply.
