Is it easy to remove? Is any wallpaper easy to remove? Joking aside it really does depend on the type of backing the paper has, and how it was applied. The majority of our wallpapers have a non-woven backing, which makes it easier to remove later.
What materials are used to make the wallpaper? Our wallpapers are manufactured using water based, non-toxic inks, which are environmentally safe and printed on responsibly sourced, recyclable, non woven substrates.
What does ‘non-woven’ mean? A non woven wallcovering is a product which fits halfway between a fabric and a paper. These wallpapers tends to have a more luxury feel and touch because they contain synthetic fibers – more like a fabric. Non-woven wallpapers are easily strippable due to the mix of fibers and paper.
How are the patterns printed? Patterns can be applied to the paper in a few different ways. Surface printing is a heritage technique that forms patterns that look as though they have been painted by hand. Digitally printed offers unlimited colors and dramatic large scale designs.
Some patterns are adorned with lavish, velvety flocks, glistening beads, high sheen foils, contemporary metallic and textured inks.
