Carnegie has been the leading innovator in high-performance, environmental wallcoverings since 1970 in markets as diverse as office, hospitality, healthcare, education, and multi-family.

Explore ProductsWhat to Consider When Specifying High Performance Wallcovering:
Aesthetics
From wovens to non-woven, solid textures to large-scale patterns, wallcovering can add subtle sophistication or a bold statement.
Performance
Must pass ASTM E84 Class A / Class 1 for flame resistance. Consider durability and cleanability needs, as well as ease-of-maintenance.
Health & Sustainability
Materials should be free of PVC and other harmful substances. Seek third-party certifications.
Budget
Available in a range of price points. Also consider long-term costs compared to paint which will require frequent maintenance.

CalculateWhy We Are Forever PVC Free
PVC (vinyl) wallcoverings are derived from chlorine chemistry; at best an environmentally controversial material in its manufacture, use and disposal. Many leading architects, consumer companies and healthcare organizations no longer work with PVC. Carnegie is the only committed PVC free wallcovering company in our industry.
