PVC-Free Type II Wallpaper

Spoonflower has partnered with DreamScape® for this commercial-grade vinyl-alternative wallcovering. With a woven textile scrim backing, it's made to last and has a subtle linen embossed face. Our PVC-Free Type II wallcovering is a permanent solution and is not intended for temporary wall applications on melamine, gator board, form core or other composite boards. 

Is this vinyl wallpaper? Not exactly. While many people use the word “vinyl” to describe durable, commercial-grade wallpaper, this wallpaper is a PVC-free alternative. This wallpaper is designed for high-traffic spaces and offers the same durability and performance you’d expect from traditional vinyl wallcovering, but without PVC. That means it’s a better choice for indoor air quality while still being tough enough for busy, high-traffic areas. You get the strength and cleanability of commercial wallpaper. Because it’s made from a different material than traditional vinyl, it may handle slightly differently during installation (such as when booking or trimming). Be sure to follow the provided installation instructions for the best results.

What is a Type II wallcovering? 

Type II wallcoverings are compliant with a durability standard for commercial contracts and are often required for wallcovering projects. Criteria include scrubbability, stain resistance, flame spread, color fastness, abrasion resistance, and more. Testing is conducted in accordance with the Type II WA 102 standard and test procedures. The Wallcovering Association (WA) established these standards. Type II is often a requirement when specifying wallcoverings.


What is a Class A fire-rating?

No wallpaper is fire-resistant, but a Class A fire-rating means that this wallpaper received the highest ranking for subverting the burning characteristics of fire when compared to similar building materials in laboratory settings. In other words, PVC-Free Type II doesn’t burn as fast as other comparable wallpapers.
