Type II Commercial Wallcovering Media

Type II commercial printable wallcovering for demanding interiors.

Project-led Type II printable wallcovering media for professional digital printing, contract interiors and high-traffic commercial environments. Norvatex can support printers and specifiers with substrate selection, embossing options, samples and project-specific technical information.

Commercial Wallcovering

Printable media for contract and high-traffic interiors

Norvatex supplies Type II commercial printable wallcovering media for professional printers, fit-out businesses, designers, specifiers and commercial interior projects.

Type II terminology is commonly associated with wallcoverings intended for more demanding commercial use, where durability, cleanability, dimensional performance and project documentation can matter more than they do in a standard decorative wallpaper application.

The Deconix Type II offer is handled on a project-led basis. Rather than presenting one fixed construction as suitable for every job, Norvatex can review the required embossing, printer and ink technology, technical criteria, installation environment and expected volume before confirming the appropriate material route.

What is Type II commercial wallcovering?

Type II is widely used in the contract wallcovering market to describe higher-performance wallcoverings intended for demanding commercial environments. Exact performance requirements can vary by specification, market and test standard, so the relevant documentation should always be checked for the selected substrate and project rather than relying on the Type II description alone.

Why Type II

When standard printable wallpaper is not enough

Commercial interiors can place very different demands on wallcoverings. Corridors, hotels, restaurants, workplaces, healthcare environments and public-facing spaces may require greater resistance to day-to-day wear, cleaning and repeated contact.

Type II printable wallcovering gives professional print businesses a route into these specification-led projects while retaining the ability to create custom graphics, murals, branded interiors and digitally printed designs.

Commercial

High-traffic environments

Designed around projects where the finished wallcovering may face more demanding use than a typical residential decorative surface.

Print

Custom digital production

Suitable Type II substrates can support bespoke murals, branded interiors, custom artwork and commercial digital wallpaper production.

Surface

Embossing choice

Deconix Type II projects can be considered across different embossing directions so the surface character can complement the printed artwork.

Specification

Project-led selection

Printer, finish, backing, technical requirements and installation environment can all be reviewed before a material is recommended.

Specification Guide

What to confirm before choosing Type II printable media

Type II is only one part of a commercial wallcovering specification. The complete print, material, installation and performance requirement should be reviewed before production.

End Use

Define where the wallcovering will be installed and the level of traffic, handling, cleaning and maintenance expected during its service life.

Print Platform

Confirm the wide-format printer and ink technology. Compatibility should be checked against the selected Type II construction before production.

Surface

Consider whether the design requires a smooth, woven, grasscloth-style, fibrous or more pronounced embossed appearance.

Performance

Identify any required durability, cleanability, abrasion, stain-resistance or other project criteria and obtain the supporting information for the proposed material.

Fire

Commercial projects may require specific reaction-to-fire documentation. Confirm the applicable certificate and test basis for the exact material and intended installation.

Testing

Print, handle and assess the proposed substrate before full production, particularly where surface texture, colour reproduction or project performance is critical.
