4 Types of Commercial Wallpaper and Their Advantages
by Kim Schroeder
Commercial wallcovering offers a stylish and practical solution for sprucing up office walls! With a wide range of designs, textures, and durability options available, it can really enhance the aesthetic appeal of a commercial space, while also providing functional benefits like easy maintenance and durability. Whether it's adding a pop of color, a subtle texture, or a bold pattern, commercial wallpaper can help create a more inspiring and professional environment for both employees and visitors alike.
One key advantage of commercial wallpaper is increased thickness and durability properties. By withstanding scratches, dents, and scuff marks more effectively than residential wallpaper, commercial wallpaper can maintain its appearance for longer periods. This durability not only ensures a longer lifespan for the wallcovering but also reduces the need for frequent replacements or repairs, ultimately saving time and money in the long run. It's a wise investment for businesses looking to maintain a polished and professional environment without constant upkeep.
Additionally, there are various types of commercial wall coverings available to suit different needs and preferences based on the specific requirements of a company's space. These can include Type I, Type II, Type III, and P3TEC wallcovering.
Type I wall coverings are designed for light to moderate traffic areas. They provide basic protection and are often made from materials like vinyl or textile. These coverings are suitable for spaces with low to moderate traffic levels where the main requirement is minimal resistance to impact and abrasion. They can be a practical choice for offices, conference rooms, or similar environments where there isn't excessive wear and tear on the walls.
The next type of wallcovering is by far the most popular. This would be Type II wall coverings. Type II, also known as medium to heavy-duty wall coverings, are designed for high-traffic areas like corridors, public spaces, and schools. They are more robust and durable compared to Type I coverings. Typically weighing between 20 and 28 ounces per linear yard, these wall coverings offer increased resistance to impact, abrasion, and other forms of wear and tear. They come in a variety of designs, textures, and colors, providing both aesthetic appeal and practicality for demanding environments.
Type III wall vinyl is renowned for its durability, specifically tailored to withstand the rigors of educational environments. These wall coverings are highly resistant to scuffs, stains, and fading, making them ideal for areas with high levels of traffic and activity, such as corridors and common areas within schools. By maintaining their appearance and performance even under heavy use, Type III wall vinyl helps to preserve the aesthetic integrity of educational spaces while also reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.
Finally, P3TEC sounds like an innovative solution that addresses the need for extreme durability. By combining the performance features of impact panels with the ease of installation of traditional wallcoverings, P3TEC offers a comprehensive solution for various commercial environments. This is particularly true for the healthcare environment. This merging of functionality and design flexibility can provide businesses with the durability they require while also allowing them to maintain a visually appealing interior space. It seems like a promising option for enhancing both the practical and aesthetic aspects of commercial wall protection.
