There are many types of wallcovering and varied proce
22、sses used in their manufacture. To ensure satisfactory performance, it is important that the decorators follow the manufacturers recommended hanging instructions for each particular product. Various grades of washability and colour fastness to light of frnished wallcoverings are permitted. These gra
23、des will facilitate the selection by the user of an appropriate wallcovering and guide the decorator. other European Standards on the vocabulary used in the wailcovering indusm, wallcoverings for subsequent decoration, textile wallcoverhgs and heavy duty wailcoverings are also published EN 235, Wall

26、d - specifies requirements for fihed wallpapers, wall vinyls and plastics wallcoverings; - specifies requirements for marking; - gives the designation system. The marking requirements of this standard are primarily for the consumers infodon to enable optimum selection of the product. This standard a
27、pplies to finished wallpapers, wall vinyls and plastics wallcoverings not intended for subsequent decoration supplied in roils for hanging on walls and ceilings by means of an adhesive covering the whole of the interface between the wallcovering and the support (wall or ceiling). Excluded from this
28、standard are rigid materials, materials not attached or not wholly attached by adhesive, wallcoverings for subsequent decoration, textile wallcoverings and non-decomtive wallcoverings such as wall ligs or those with special properties, e.g. thermal or acoustic insulation.
