  1. INTD 54 wallcoverings

  2. characteristics determined by materials used in manufacture • washable • scrubbable • stain resistance • abrasion resistance • colorfastness • peelable • strippable • prepasted

  8. dye lots dye lot or “run number” printed on each roll represents a particular group of rolls printed on the same run ensures uniformity in color and pattern record pattern numbers & dye lot numbers in case additional rolls are needed

  9. pattern match/repeats random match—pattern matches no matter how adjoining strips are positioned; produces much less waste; example—grasscloth straight-across match—design elements match on adjoining strips; every strip same at ceiling line; example—stripes

  10. pattern match/repeats drop-match— half-drop—every other strip is the same at ceiling line; design elements run diagonally; takes 3 strips to repeat multiple-drop—takes 4 or more strips to repeat

  11. types vinyl—variety of price points; most durable; 3 types: paper-backed, fabric-backed, vinyl-impregnated cloth paper—more delicate; do not scrub; best used in low-maintenance rooms embossed—have texture rolled into them; hide imperfections of wall flocked—rayon & nylon fibers-washable; brushing against them flattens flock

  12. types foil—aluminum laminated to paper & simulated metallic; wash & dry carefully; show any wall imperfections grasscloth—oriental import; variation of color throughout; vacuum gently to clean hemp, hulu, burlap—also oriental, loom woven, delicate and unwashable

  13. types fabric as wallcovering • certain companies will back any fabric • be careful not to stretch • be careful with glue—soak through • laminated creates wet, shiny look appropriate for bathrooms/kitchens • foam-backed gives upholstered appearance, accoustical properties

  14. types

  15. printing techniques • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzoTrYgY4o0&feature=related • most widely used: machine printing • roto(gravure)—technically consistent, machined look & feel • surface—textured, hand-painted look • (flexo)graphic—clean appearance of a block print • rotary-screen—hand-printed look with clean, crisp appearance

  16. hand printing hand block—separate wood block for each motif in pattern; very time-consuming & expensive silk-screened—elaborate, beautiful, expensive; each motif has own frame; small irregularities custom wallcoverings • one-of-a-kind • requires minimum order • up-front charge • also a charge for setting up (strike-off)

  17. wallcovering terminology • scrim/Osnaburg—loosely woven fabric backing material • drill—dense woven fabric; better dimensional stability • string—fairly new, strings in various colors, sizes, textures; seams don’t show • murals—photo, scenic, antique/ documentaries • blank paper stock— wall lining, used to smooth out damaged walls, protects expensive/antique papers

  18. packaging • European wallcoverings (20-22 inches wide) • American-made wallcoverings (27-inches wide) • Oriental wallcoverings (36-inches wide) • Commercial wallcoverings (54-inches wide) although usually priced by the yard or single roll, packaged in double or triple roll bolts

  19. books used to sell wallcoverings include: • samples • valuable specifications • installation requirements • care instructions • fire rating

  20. participation activity: wallcovering research …using the resources available search for and select wallcoverings to serve as examples of the following categories: …carefully cut uniformly sized blocks of each and mount them on the given handout …fill in the details for each of the samples • vinyl—paper backed & fabric backed • paper • embossed • flocked • foil • grasscloth • fabric
