Fire-rated printable wallcovering media for commercial interiors.
Specialist printable wallpaper and wallcovering substrates with fire-performance documentation available for applicable Deconix references. Norvatex supports professional printers, designers and commercial project teams with B-s1,d0, EN 13501-1 documentation, substrate selection and print-testing guidance.
Printable wallcovering where fire performance matters
Norvatex supplies fire-rated printable wallcovering media for professional digital printing and commercial interior projects where reaction-to-fire performance forms part of the material specification.
Applicable Deconix wallcovering references are available with B-s1,d0 classification under EN 13501-1. Fire documentation should always be checked against the exact material being specified, as classifications are tied to the tested product and the scope of the relevant certificate.
This makes technical selection particularly important for hotels, restaurants, retail environments, workplaces, public spaces and other contract interiors where wallcovering performance may need to be documented before approval.

Understanding B-s1,d0 wallcovering classification
EN 13501-1 is the European classification system used to describe the reaction-to-fire performance of construction products, including applicable wallcovering materials.
A classification written as B-s1,d0 combines three elements: the main reaction-to-fire class, smoke production and flaming droplets or particles.
A recognised fire-performance classification used in commercial building specifications. Always refer to the certificate for the exact tested wallcovering reference.
The principal Euroclass reaction-to-fire classification. It indicates limited contribution to fire within the EN 13501-1 classification system.
The smoke-production classification associated with the tested material, with s1 representing the lowest smoke-production category in this system.
The flaming-droplet classification, indicating no flaming droplets or particles within the specified test criteria.
The European standard used to classify reaction-to-fire performance for construction products based on the relevant test evidence.
A fire classification should not be treated as a generic claim covering every wallcovering, print process, adhesive or installation. Confirm the exact reference, tested construction and certificate scope for the live project. Where the specification depends on the finished printed or installed system, confirm that the available test evidence matches what the project requires.
More than finding a substrate that simply prints well
In commercial wallcovering production, print quality is only one part of the job. The media may also need to satisfy a fire specification, provide the correct backing construction, suit the installation environment and arrive with documentation that a contractor, designer or client can review.
Norvatex helps bring those requirements together before a substrate moves into full production.
Classification support
B-s1,d0 and EN 13501-1 documentation can be supplied for applicable Deconix references where supported by the relevant test evidence.
Digital print compatibility
Wallcovering media can be selected around professional Latex, UV or solvent print workflows according to the individual material specification.
Textured finishes
Fire-performance requirements do not have to mean a generic smooth surface. Applicable ranges include options across multiple decorative textures.
Multiple constructions
Relevant fire-rated options can be considered across specialist wallcovering constructions, subject to the exact product reference and documentation.
Specification review
Share the project requirement before production so the proposed substrate can be checked against the required technical documentation.
Sample before production
Print testing remains important even where a substrate already has relevant fire-performance documentation.
Fire-rated printable wallcovering for specification-led interiors
Reaction-to-fire requirements frequently become important when printable wallpaper moves from decorative residential work into commercial, contract and public-facing interior projects.
Fire-performance options across specialist wallcovering media
Applicable Deconix references give printers access to fire-performance documentation without reducing wallcovering selection to one single material type.
The correct route depends on the exact project, construction, print technology and certificate required.

What to check before specifying fire-rated printable wallcovering
A fire-rated wallcovering enquiry should start with the exact project requirement rather than a generic request for a “fireproof wallpaper”. The aim is to match the specified classification and supporting evidence to a suitable printable substrate.
Confirm the reaction-to-fire classification specified by the project, architect, contractor or client before selecting the wallcovering.
Fire documentation should correspond to the exact wallcovering reference proposed for production, not merely another product in the same range.
Review what the certificate actually covers, including the tested material construction and any relevant conditions stated in the documentation.
Confirm printer and ink compatibility separately. Fire classification and print compatibility are different parts of the material specification.
If the project requires evidence relating to a complete installed system, check whether the available certificate covers the relevant substrate, mounting or installation conditions.
Test the proposed wallcovering through the intended print process before full production and retain the appropriate technical documentation with the project file.
Have a B-s1,d0 or EN 13501-1 requirement?
Send us the required classification, printer details, intended substrate, end-use environment and any documentation requested by the project team. We can help identify relevant Deconix wallcovering options and confirm what supporting information is available.
Fire-rated printable wallcovering questions
Does Norvatex supply B-s1,d0 printable wallcovering?
Yes. B-s1,d0 fire-performance documentation is available for applicable Deconix printable wallcovering references. The relevant certificate should be confirmed against the exact substrate selected for the project.
What does B-s1,d0 mean for wallcovering?
B-s1,d0 is a Euroclass reaction-to-fire classification under EN 13501-1. B is the principal reaction-to-fire class, s1 relates to smoke production and d0 relates to flaming droplets or particles. The exact certificate should be reviewed for the material being specified.
Is B-s1,d0 the same as fireproof wallpaper?
No. B-s1,d0 is a reaction-to-fire classification, not a claim that a wallcovering is fireproof. Commercial specifications should use the relevant classification and certificate rather than broad terms such as “fireproof wallpaper”.
Is EN 13501-1 relevant to printable wallpaper?
Yes. EN 13501-1 is used in Europe to classify the reaction-to-fire performance of construction products, and applicable printable wallcovering media can carry classifications under this system.
Does printing change the fire rating of wallcovering?
The answer depends on the scope of the available fire test and the exact finished construction. Do not assume that a substrate certificate automatically covers every ink, coating, adhesive or installation. Check the relevant documentation against the project requirement.
Can I request a fire certificate before ordering?
Yes. For applicable Deconix references, Norvatex can provide relevant fire-performance documentation for review before a project moves into full production.
Can I request samples of fire-rated printable wallcovering?
Yes. Samples can be arranged for surface evaluation and print testing. Tell us the required classification, printer technology and application so suitable wallcovering references can be considered.
