Wolf-Gordon Introduces Organics-Biodegradable Wallcoverings That Shed a New Light on Sustainability
Posted by melissaThis new collection of eight patterns offers 100% organic wallcoverings for sustainable building.
Continuing its commitment to the environment and sustainable building, Wolf-Gordon announces a new generation of sustainable wallcoverings. Organics, exclusive to Wolf-Gordon, is a line of 100% organic wallcoverings offering biodegradability, breathability, durability, and aesthetics - all at an affordable price. All wallcoverings in this collection are washable and Class A fire rated for safety.
Organics is a renewable wallcovering collection durable enough for any commercial interior. All eight Organics designs consist of three key components: Polyactic Acid (PLA), Kenaf (grass), and recycled news-paper. Polyactic acid, the topcoat and structural element, is a biodegradable, thermoplastic, aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources including potatoes and corn.
This thermoplastic component provides strong fire ratings, turning to water vapor when it is heated or burned. The core component of these new wallcoverings is Kenaf, or grass, and the backing is made from recycled newspapers and magazines stripped of their formaldehyde and print inks.
Organics offers both sustainability and aesthetics, a rare find in the commercial design industry. From subtle striations to simulated animal prints, the eight designs draw their inspiration from the beautiful landscape of the Indian countryside. Patterns such as Jaipur, Kerala, Taj, and Taj Diamond provide decorative elements and vibrant coloring that are appropriate for any interior environment.
