What exactly is PVC Wallpapers?

PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a carbon-based plastic commonly used to produce wallpapers. The manufacturing process of PVC-based wallpapers often involves the use of chemicals, which can be released into the air and pose risks to indoor air quality.

How is PVC-free wallpaper different?

PVC-Free Wallpapers offer a alternative to traditional commercial wallpapers. Unlike conventional wallpapers, our Vision Effex Sustainable Wallpaper Range is completely free of PVC, a synthetic plastic material that can be harmful to the environment.

In contrast, PVC-free wallpapers is a recyclable product that is made from paper with no PVC coating. Here is some of the benefits of Tint Designs Vision Effex Sustainable Wallpapers:

1. They come with a Grade 1 fire rating, ensuring high levels of fire resistance and making them an ideal choice for commercial and institutional settings.

2. Deliver high opacity, ensuring excellent coverage even over hairline cracks

3. High durability

4. The water-resistant coating removes the necessity for liquid lamination, while the pre-pasted adhesive ensures easy installation.

While traditional wallpapers may offer a wider range of textures, our PVC-free wallpaper range features a smooth, uniform surface that provides a sleek and modern aesthetic. The beauty lies in the ability to absorb the inks into the wallpaper, creating a vivid and art-like effect, which enhances the look and feel of any space.

As of September 2024, Tint Design will be completely phasing out all PVC wallpaper.

The decision to phase out PVC wallpapers is part of Tint Design's broader strategy to prioritise environmentally friendly products and practices and have options for those wanting an environmentally friendly alternative solution and assisting our clients in lowering the carbon emission on their projects.

By choosing our TD Vision Effex Sustainable Wallpaper Range, you can enjoy the benefits of a sustainable, safe, and visually appealing alternative to conventional commercial wallpapers, without compromising on quality or design.
