Selecting the proper weight and thickness of vinyl wall covering is critical to installation and long-term success. Some standard wall coverings are manufactured with special coatings that are designed to address different performance criteria.
Traditional craftsmanship a thing of the past? Not so, says Lewisville, TX-based, award-winning wall covering installer. The durability and long life of vinyl wallcovering makes it an ideal medium for residential and commercial projects.
Why Vinyl?
If it’s a question of durability, vinyl wall coverings are the answer. In high traffic areas where other wall coverings become dirty or damaged, vinyl manages to retain its good looks—for years. When vinyl does become dirty, it’s easily cleaned. Similarly, if vinyl wall covering gets damaged, it’s easily repaired. Its fire-retardant properties make it a preferable choice for schools and its ability to accept sterile coatings makes it particularly useful in medical centers.
Vinyl Defined
According to Hatfield, selecting the proper weight and thickness of vinyl wall covering is critical to installation and long-term success. There are three types to consider:
Number 1 is commonly used in light-wear areas such as offices;
Number 2 is a heavier, multi-purpose grade used in high traffic corridors, commercial buildings, and health care applications; Number 3 is used where extreme durability is required.
In addition, some standard wall coverings are manufactured with special coatings that are designed to address different performance criteria. As an example, sterile coatings are most often used in hospital settings, where extreme cleanliness is necessary.
