Commercial Wallcovering for Multi-Family Properties

Type II is heavy-duty, fabric-backed vinyl made for high-traffic commercial spaces. It's scrubbable, resists tears and impacts, and carries an ASTM E-84 Class A fire rating, which most building codes require for multi-family corridors, lobbies and common areas.

Our commercial stock is a 20 oz two-ply wallcovering, tested by Intertek; see our technical specifications.

Type I is a lighter wallcovering, fine for low-traffic spaces like individual units. Type II's heavier fabric backing is what corridors, lobbies, amenity spaces and every other high-traffic common area need. For common areas, always specify Type II.

Our Type II materials carry an ASTM E-84 Class A fire rating (flame spread 0–25, smoke development 450 or less), plus CAN/ULC S102 for Canadian projects and low-VOC emissions testing to CDPH V1.2-2017. We supply the documentation for your building department or DOB submission.

Yes. A scrubbable Type II surface stands up to luggage, carts and furniture moves, and to the repeated cleaning that wears paint away, so corridors stop needing a repaint every few years.

Traditional Type II, hung with paste, is the permanent, more durable choice and the right one for corridors and lobbies. Peel & stick is removable, which suits model units and amenity spaces you expect to restyle.

Type II unpasted wallcovering runs $6.00–$8.50 per square foot to print, and peel & stick $8.50–$10.50, with a 50 sq ft minimum per pattern. Buildings of 1,000 sq ft or more qualify for our large-run rate, from $5.00. Installation is billed separately by your contractor. Send us your corridor measurements and we'll quote the whole building, floor by floor. Request an estimate.

We put together what a board needs to decide: physical samples on the materials under consideration, visual mockups of your corridors, the fire-rating and VOC documentation, and a cost comparison against repainting.

Yes. We match Pantone, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams or any paint chip against our 20,000+ color library, so the wallcovering coordinates with your trim, millwork and accent colors. A press proof lets you check the match in your corridor, under your lighting, before production.

Production takes 7–10 business days after you approve the proof. The overall schedule depends on your approvals and your installer; we'll map it out with you when we quote, and phase production floor by floor if that suits your building.

No. We print and coordinate; your contractor installs. Our Type II materials are industry standard and familiar to any qualified wallpaper installer, and we supply floor-by-floor schematics, panels labeled by location and adhesive specifications, and answer your installer's technical questions.

Damaged panels can be replaced without redoing the corridor. We keep your project files for 5 years, so we can reprint an exact match for repairs.

We keep your master files and calibrate our press monthly, and the approved proof from the first building becomes the standard for every one after it.

Yes. We're based in Manhattan and ship anywhere in the US. Samples, mockups, proofs and installer support all work the same for out-of-state properties.

Yes. Type II holds up better than paint on high-contact stairwell walls and is easier to maintain. It also suits service corridors, back-of-house areas and amenity spaces with complex angles.
