Material family

Paper and non-woven

Printed or plain, from a quiet texture to a large repeat.

Consider it when
You want a printed pattern or a quieter, more even visual finish.
The trade-off
Print, backing and care vary substantially between products.
Before ordering
Confirm the repeat, match, usable width and actual cleaning instructions.

Joins

Seams are part of a hung wall. The match follows the repeat: free or straight. Half-drop and murals are set out on site, not by the simple calculator.

Where it belongs

Homes and hotels

Handling

The wall has to be sound first. Lining is used when the maker or the wall requires it.

Care

Follow the maker. Many papers are not washable. We do not call a family washable, fire-rated or seamless unless that product’s own data says so.

Digital colour is a guide. Order a cutting or a sample before you commit to a room. We can install material you have already bought, or source a family and install it. Either way, the next step is a short note about the room.
