Which material for a bathroom?

Non-woven paste-the-wall for a powder room or a bathroom with good ventilation, Type II vinyl where walls get wet or wiped daily. Peel-and-stick fabric does not like standing steam.

Which material for a rental?

Peel-and-stick fabric on smooth painted walls that cured at least 30 days. It peels off in one piece; our removability guarantee covers exactly those walls.

My walls are textured (orange peel, knockdown). What now?

Non-woven paste-the-wall. Adhesive-backed fabric needs contact area that texture takes away; paste bridges it. Heavy texture is worth a photo to us first.

Is the finish glossy?

No. Everything prints matte. Peel-and-stick fabric shows a faint cloth texture up close, the canvas vinyl has a woven texture you can feel, non-woven and pre-pasted are smooth, and Type II vinyl comes in Canvas, Sand, Plaster or Grasscloth texture.

Do you print on textured stock?

Yes: the peel-and-stick canvas vinyl, and Type II vinyl in Canvas, Sand, Plaster or Grasscloth texture. Those are embossed vinyl surfaces. Natural fibre grasscloth, silk and metallic papers we do not print on.

Why does peel-and-stick cost more than non-woven?

The adhesive-backed fabric costs us more to buy and carries its own glue, so you skip paste and an installer. Non-woven is the cheaper stock and the classic.

Can I see the material before I order a wall?

Yes. A 12×12 inch sample of the actual design on the material you pick is $8 and comes off the wall order.

Non-Woven Paste-the-Wall

The classic. What most designers specify. $10.00 per square foot.

What it is: A breathable non-woven backing (cellulose and polyester fibres) printed with water-based inks. Matte finish, no shine.
How it hangs: Paste goes on the wall, not on the paper, and the dry panel is laid into it. Non-woven does not stretch when wet, so seams butt edge to edge with no overlap and stay closed as it dries.
Walls it suits: Smooth and lightly textured painted walls, plaster, primed drywall. The forgiving choice for an older house.
Taking it down: Dry-strippable: at the end of its life it peels off in whole panels without steaming, leaving the paste to wash off.
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth. Not scrubbable.
Best for: Living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, feature walls that stay up for years.
Not for: Renters who need to remove it without a trace, and rooms with standing steam.

Traditional Pre-Pasted

Traditional wallpaper, paste already on the back. $10.00 per square foot.

What it is: A PVC-free paper with a dry paste layer on the back that is activated with water. Matte.
How it hangs: Wet the back (a water tray or a sponge), let it rest for the time on the label, then hang. Seams butt edge to edge. No paste bucket.
Walls it suits: Smooth and lightly textured painted walls, primed drywall, plaster.
Taking it down: Comes down with water and a scraper when you redecorate; plan it like traditional wallpaper, not like peel-and-stick.
Cleaning: Wipe gently with a damp cloth.
Best for: People who like traditional wallpaper but want to skip mixing paste; owners, not renters.
Not for: Rentals and rooms with standing steam.

Peel & Stick Fabric

Peel it, stick it, move it if you must. $10.00 per square foot.

What it is: A woven polyester fabric with a low-tack, repositionable adhesive on the back. PVC-free. Matte, with the faint texture of cloth.
How it hangs: No paste, no tools beyond a squeegee and a knife. Panels overlap by half an inch; you can lift and re-lay a panel while hanging.
Walls it suits: Smooth walls painted in eggshell, satin, semi-gloss or gloss that cured at least 30 days. Contact area is everything for an adhesive.
Taking it down: Peels off in one piece from the walls above. On flat or fresh paint and on textured walls it can pull paint, which is why we say so before checkout, not in the returns policy.
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth.
Best for: Rentals, nurseries and kids rooms that change every few years, a first wallpaper project without an installer.
Not for: Textured walls, flat paint, bathrooms with a shower.

Commercial Vinyl (Type II)

For walls that get touched, bumped and scrubbed. $10.00 per square foot.

What it is: Type II commercial vinyl, the medium-duty class of the CFFA-W-101 wallcovering standard (about 20 oz per square yard). Matte, smooth or lightly textured depending on the stock we quote.
How it hangs: Paste the wall, butt seams, 24-inch panels. We recommend a professional installer for this one.
Walls it suits: Primed drywall and plaster in offices, clinics, restaurants, hotel corridors and shops.
Taking it down: Strippable in sheets when the space is refitted.
Cleaning: Scrubbable with mild detergent; that is the point of it.
Best for: Commercial interiors and any wall a fire marshal or a facilities manager will ask about. Fire-rated stock is available; ask for the certificate with your quote. Comes in four surface textures: Canvas, Sand, Plaster and Grasscloth.
Not for: Rentals and quick changes: it is priced and built to stay.

Peel & Stick Vinyl, Smooth

Peel-and-stick that wipes down. $10.00 per square foot.

What it is: A matte self-adhesive vinyl film. The print sits on a smooth, closed surface, so marks wipe off more easily than on fabric.
How it hangs: No paste. Peel the liner and lay the panel; it can be lifted and re-laid while hanging. Panels overlap by half an inch.
Walls it suits: Smooth walls painted in eggshell, satin, semi-gloss or gloss that cured at least 30 days.
Taking it down: Peels off from the walls above. Like any adhesive, it can pull flat or fresh paint and does not belong on texture.
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Best for: Kids rooms, kitchens away from the stove, hallways that get touched, rentals with smooth walls.
Not for: Textured walls, flat or fresh paint, showers.

Peel & Stick Vinyl, Canvas Texture

Peel-and-stick with a texture you can feel. $10.00 per square foot.

What it is: Self-adhesive vinyl with an embossed woven canvas texture. Matte. The texture softens the print and catches the light like a painted surface.
How it hangs: No paste. Peel the liner and lay the panel; panels overlap by half an inch and can be repositioned while hanging.
Walls it suits: Smooth walls painted in eggshell, satin, semi-gloss or gloss that cured at least 30 days.
Taking it down: Peels off from the walls above; it can pull flat or fresh paint and does not belong on texture.
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth.
Best for: Murals and painterly designs where a canvas surface reads better than a flat print: living rooms, bedrooms, offices.
Not for: Textured walls, flat or fresh paint, showers.

What we do not print on yet

Natural fibre grasscloth, silk, metallic and flocked papers. The linen and seagrass designs print on any material; for a surface you can feel, choose the canvas vinyl or Type II vinyl in its Grasscloth texture.
