Non-woven wallpaper
Non-woven wallpaper are the most common wallpaper by a long way, as they are easiest to hang. The advantage is that they do not require any soaking time. This means that you do not need to let the paste work itself in before wallpapering; you can simply apply the paste to the wall directly and then apply the wallpaper.
Non-woven wallpaper are the newest form of wall covering, which are becoming increasingly popular as they are so easy to use. Long-fibre special pulps, textile fibres and binders, 80% of which are of natural origin, are mostly used in the production of non-woven materials. This production process, in conjunction with the raw materials used, achieves the unique dimensional stability of the non-woven material, which makes it possible to use the wallpaper without a soaking time. It is, therefore, possible to apply wallpaper paste to the wall, to embed the dry wallpaper strip into the layer of paste, press it on and then simply cut off the excess.
Paper wallpaper
Our paper wallpaper are manufactured on high-quality recycled paper. They are breathable, moisture-regulating and environmentally friendly.
With paper wallpaper you are required to apply the paste directly to the wallpaper and wait for 3-5 minutes. In addition, paper wallpaper are available in different weights, the differences being evident in the quality and wallpapering properties.
Paper wallpaper by A.S. Création Tapeten AG are manufactured on high-quality recycled paper. They are breathable, moisture-regulating and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, most paper wallpaper have good light-fastness and an embossed surface that was previously printed using rotogravure. Please note that a short soaking time of approx. 3-5 minutes is required for paper wallpaper, which should not be exceeded, otherwise, the embossed surface of the wallpaper will be lost.
The two-layer paper wallpaper known as duplex wallpaper, which are produced in a laminating process and consist of two paper layers of different thicknesses, are considered to be of particularly high quality. The quality, and, therefore, also the processing properties of paper wallpaper are assessed based on their roll weight:
- light paper wallpaper < 110 g/sqm
- medium paper wallpaper 110-140 g/sqm
- heavy paper wallpaper > 140 g/sqm
Textured profile wallpaper
Textured profile wallpaper are paper wallpaper with special foam application which creates a stylish 3D effect. These wallpaper are washable and paintable. When wallpapering, you need to allow the paste to soak in as with standard paper wallpaper.
Textured profile wallpaper or also textured vinyl wallpaper form a foam PVC surface on a paper backing, creating a three-dimensional, very expressive effect. Textured vinyl wallpaper can be split away from the wall, are washable, and can later be painted over with both latex and emulsion paints. After a short soaking time of approx. 3-5 minutes, the wallpaper are glued together. Due to the relief-like surface, textured profiled wallpaper are still very stable even after the soaking time and are, therefore, very easy to use.
Satin wallpaper
Satin wallpaper are manufactured both using non-woven material and paper and they are characterised by a satin-like, shiny surface. These wallpaper are very high quality and have a very high light and rub resistance, as well as high durability.
Vinyl wallpaper, which are also called satin wallpaper, consist of either a multi-layer paper backing or a non-woven material as a backing material with a full-surface PVC coating, which is first printed using the gravure technique and then embossed with a hot forming process. This so-called gloss embossing gives the vinyl wallpaper a satin surface and a very high-quality sheen. This type of wallpaper is a very high-quality product that is very lightfast, abrasion-resistant and extremely hard-wearing and, depending on the backing material used, can either be completely peeled off dry leaving no residues or can be split away from the wall.
Paintable wallpaper

They are characterised by their different structures, which are an exciting alternative to ingrain wallpaper. From barely visible structures through to detailed patterns or 3D effects, you will find everything.

Wallpaper borders
Borders are narrow strips of wallpaper that are applied horizontally to accentuate a wall or serve as a visual separation of two different wallpaper on one wall. Wallpaper borders are available in different lengths and breadths and are ideal for accentuating the design of wall surfaces, niches or even door surrounds. A distinction is made between borders that are applied to the wall with paste (in this case, the surface to be wallpapered should be left blank) and self-adhesive borders that are also stuck directly onto the background or wallpaper. The usual lengths are: 5 metre and 10 metre strips.
Design panels
Using decorative panels, you can highlight a wall using one single strip of wallpaper. It’s a very quick and effective way to pep up your wall design. Panels are available either with patterns or as photo wallpaper.
At newwalls we also have self-adhesive pop-up panels as an alternative to design panels, which need to be hung in the same way as normal non-woven wallpaper.
