Carnegie



Carnegie Fabrics highlighted their wallcovering collection with "Xorel" previewed in the April issue of Interiors and Sources. This collection features 100% Xorel, which is 100% sustainable, high performance, PVC Free material.

Katagami Graphic 6739W pictured above in W109, has 3 other colorways (custom colors are also available). It costs $54/yard. They require a 50 yard minimum for orders, anything less will result in a $3/yard upcharge.

It comes in a width of 52", with a repeat of 25.25" long.

It has been fire rated by the NFPA 260 test and qualifies for use in Class A and Class 1 Areas under the ASTM E84. It also passed the NFPA 265 Room Corner Test.

This pattern has great durability, which allows it to qualify for heavy duty contract use after passing the Wyzenbeek Abrasion Test ASTM D4157 with no wear after 200,000 double rubs.

It also has a ton of Earth-friendly extras (which contribute to LEED points), such as an Anti-Bacterial finish and extremely low VOCs; it is free of PVC, Chlorine, Plasticizers, Heavy Metals, Ozone-Depleting Chemicals, Topical Finishes, and Dioxin. It is safely disposable, preventing lifetime in a landfill.

In addition to LEED points, the pattern is Cradle 2 Cradle certified by MBDC as well as SCS Indoor Advantage Gold Certified.

The cleaning methods are not on the website, and the simple installation method revealed is that the pattern's backing is paperbacked for direct application wallcovering.
