Only wallcovering gives you the combinations of colour, pattern, texture and finish that create unique and inspiring aesthetic effects. A painted wall can deliver colour, but it can’t easily achieve a texture or pattern. This is why wallcovering is so versatile.
Wallcoverings don’t just provide aesthetic benefits, they also have a number of performance benefits, including:
- Durability. The inclusion of vinyl and woven fabric backing material means that Muraspec heavy-duty wallcoverings can take more wear and tear than ordinary wallpaper. Our wallcovering also protects the wall better than paint.
- Uneven walls or surfaces in poor condition. Certain Muraspec products have particular emboss/print combinations that make them exceptionally good at hiding cracks or other damage that may lay beneath them.
- Fire resistance. Muraspec wallcoverings are tested to the highest fire safety standards and many now achieve Class B under new European legislation on all commonly used substrates.
- Washable. Our products can be washed and in many cases scrubbed repeatedly to remove any accidental marks without damaging the product itself.
- Bio-Pruf coating. Bio-Pruf contains an ingredient that inhibits the growth of bacteria and micro-organisms, making it especially suitable for use in hospitals, where it can reduce the risk of cross-infection.
- Stain resistance. Our products can be optionally coated with Tedlar, a film that enables the wallcovering to withstand staining.
- Quicker to apply. The decorated area is ready for use immediately. No waiting for several coats of paint to dry and odours to disperse.
- Cost effective. Taking into account maintenance costs and the longer lifespan of wallcoverings, it needn't cost more than paint, and in fact can often be a more cost effective solution. Download the pdf document for more details.
When you add up these advantages it is easy to see why wallcoverings are the long-lasting solution.
