Popular types of wallcoverings in Hawaii

The recent past has seen a lot of improvement in wall coverings. Initially, wall coverings were rolls of paper that required a steady hand when being hung and once they had been installed, they were quite difficult to clean. This type of ordinary wall coverings are still available but now there are many more preferable options that have surfaced over the years. While some are available with plastic coatings making it washable, there are others that have vinyl in it making it like paint. Some of the other wallcoverings in Hawaii, have special effects on the surface.

Some of the popular types of wall coverings are listed below:

Ordinary wallpaper

This type of wall covering is a simple paper with a pattern that is printed on it. The surface of the paper may be a smooth one, or it may be embossed at various levels. There is a wide variety of options available in the design and the choices in this type of wall covering are bound to outnumber those of the other types of wall coverings. Ordinary wallpapers are typically sold in standard size rolls with a measurement of 10mx530mm.

Washable wallpaper

Although this wallpaper looks just like an ordinary wallpaper, the only difference is that there is a thin coat of transparent plastic on the surface. This plastic makes the wall covering comparatively more resistant to marks and stains. These papers are usually coated with vinyl which is why it usually creates a confusion between a simple washable wall covering and a paper-backed vinyl wall covering. Sold in the same standard size as an ordinary wallpaper, these wallcoverings in Hawaii, have glossy and smooth surfaces. Some of the exotic varieties may have embossed or matte surfaces.

Paper-backed vinyls

These wall coverings are characterized with a polyvinyl chloride film that has an infused printed design and a paper back. As mentioned above, these wall coverings are very similar to washable wallcoverings in Hawaii, with their smooth surface and the embossed variants. The texture of the wall covering may be arranged randomly or it can be registered with a print design. There is a wide choice of designs available along with a considerable amount of variations in terms of the paper backings. These wall coverings are also sold in standard-sized rolls and there are many leading brands that provide ready-pasted paper-backed vinyls
