Find guidance on materials, applications, and performance in our FAQs below.
What is wallcovering?
Wallcovering (or wall covering) is a material used to decorate, protect, and enhance the appearance of walls and vertical surfaces in residential or commercial interiors. In the commercial sector, wallcoverings should be durable and easy to maintain as well as meet design standards, local fire codes, and acoustic requirements.
What materials are used for wallcoverings?
Wallcovering materials include synthetics like woven vinyl and natural fibers like sisal and wool, which bring woven texture, warmth, and visual interest to interior walls. Sisal offers a structured, organic appearance, while wool provides a softer textile finish. Both are suitable for a range of residential and commercial applications, depending on the product's specifications.
Do wallcoverings help absorb sound?
Textile wallcoverings can contribute to acoustic comfort by absorbing some sound and reducing reflections within a room. Performance varies by material, construction, and installation method. For projects where sound absorption is a priority, consider acoustic wallcoverings such as Acousticord, and review the product's acoustic ratings and specifications.
What is unbacked sisal?
Unbacked sisal is also known as sisal fabric or sisal wallcovering. It is woven sisal that has no applied backing, like latex, on the underside and is not a floor covering.
Instead, sisal wallcovering covers walls to add visual interest, protect the walls, and absorb sound in commercial settings, offices, boutique shops, and hospitality spaces.
