FAQS

Q:

What is the difference between Type I and Type II Wallcoverings?

Both 13oz. Type I and 20oz. Type II wallcoverings are commercial grade. Both are required to pass rigorous certification processes. The primary difference between the two is the weight. Type II (20oz.) wallcoverings are intended to be used in high traffic commercial spaces such as hotel lobbies, restaurants, or office spaces and are designed to be incredibly durable and withstand significant wear and tear. Our Type II substrates offer the highest quality and durability in materials that provide premium, luxe finishes. 

Type I (13oz) wallcoverings are still substantially more durable than traditional wallpaper, and are able to withstand more daily wear. Because this substrate is lighter in weight, it’s also less costly, which provides the opportunity for a  more high quality wallcovering for residential or lower traffic commercial spaces at an outstanding value. Our Type I substrate has a canvas-like texture, is eco-friendly and free from substances like PVC, lead and heavy metals. This highly breathable material also allows the dissipation of moisture making it more resistant to mold. 

 

Fine & Dandy Co. Type I Eco-Friendly Wallcovering

Our new 13oz. Eco-Friendly wallcovering offers both designers and consumers a high quality, durable, commercial grade wallcovering at an incredible value. The canvas texture feels more like a textile than a traditional wallpaper and it contains 31% post consumer recycled content. It’s free of PVC, Lead, Plasticizers and Heavy Metals. It can also contribute to several LEED credits. This substrate is also highly breathable, allowing moisture to transfer through the material, aiding in the prevention of mold. This is the perfect material to use in a children’s space, residential spaces or lower traffic commercial spaces.

Cleaning Instructions


How many rolls do I require?

 

Each pattern product page features a custom Wallpaper Calculator at the bottom OR you can use this formula:
 
1. Measure the width of each wall you would like to apply wallpaper to and add these together to get your “combined width”. Please do not deduct any doorways or windows.
2. Measure your wall height.
3. Multiply the “combined width” by the height of the walls – this is the total square footage you need to cover with wallpaper.
4. Divide that number with the total square footage amount of the roll of wallpaper you have selected. Please always round up.
This is the number of rolls required to complete your project.
 
**Please note that for larger pattern repeats, especially those that are a “drop match” we recommend that you add the pattern repeat amount to the height of your walls when using this formula to allow for the extra wallpaper you will need to accommodate this larger repeat pattern.
 
USING THE FORMULA PROVIDED:
 
Example #1 - Project: Powder Room measuring 6' x 6’ - Ceiling height - 8’
Wallpaper: O CANNADA - 26”W x 36’L (covers 78 sq. ft)
Pattern Repeat: 26” (66cm)
Pattern Match: Straight Across
 
  1. “Combined Width” = 24’ (6’ + 6’ + 6’ + 6’)
  2. Wall height = 8’
  3. 24’ x 8’= 192 total square ft of wall space you need to cover with wallpaper.
  4. Total square ft: 192 sq’ divided by 78 sq’ (O CANNADA - 26”W x 36’L) = 2.46 (always round up) = 3 rolls of wallpaper.

Example #2 - Project: One Large Statement Wall measuring 16’ wide - Ceiling height - 9’
Wallpaper: O CANNADA - 53”W x 36'L (covers 159 sq. ft)
Pattern Repeat: 53” (135 cm)
Pattern Match: Straight Across
 
  1. “Combined Width”- 16’ (only one wall)
  2. Wall height = 9’
  3. 16’ x 9’ = 144 total sq. ft of wall space you need to cover with wallpaper.
  4. Total sq. ft: 144 sq’ divided by 159 sq’ (O CANNADA - 53”W x 36’L) = 0.91 (always round up) = 1 roll of wallpaper.


What is a pattern repeat?

On all wallpaper, except some textures and murals, there is what is called a pattern match or pattern repeat. This is the vertical distance between one point on a pattern design to the identical point vertically. This pattern repeat is an integral part of the design.
 
A random match is one in which the pattern matches no matter how adjoining strips are positioned. Stripes are a good example.
 
A straight-across match is one in which the design elements match on adjoining strips.
 
A drop match is one in which there is a vertical drop between the matching design elements. With straight-across matches, every hung strip is the same as the ceiling line. With drop matches, the number of strips hung before a strip is repeated is dependent on the type of drop match.
 
Patterns with a significant drop match (24 inches or greater) will require additional wallpaper to be ordered.


Do I need to have samples before placing an order?

Due to the variances in monitors, smartphones and other devices, colours may be different than those which appear on the devices you are using. For accurate colour referencing and matching, we highly recommend ordering a sample prior to placing your order.
