Coarse Xuan Flannelette Wall Paper
A digitally printable wall covering with a distinctive coarse, flannelette-like texture, mimicking traditional Xuan paper aesthetics for cultural and artistic interior designs.
Product Overview
Coarse Xuan Flannelette Wall Paper is a specialized substrate developed to meet the demand for wall décor that embodies the natural, rustic texture of traditional Chinese Xuan paper combined with the durability and printability of modern non-woven materials. Its surface features a pronounced, irregular fibrous texture that provides a tactile, artisanal quality.
This material is constructed from a high-strength non-woven base, offering dimensional stability and ease of installation via paste-the-wall methods. It is coated to be compatible with eco-solvent, latex, and UV-curable inkjet printers, allowing for the direct application of high-resolution artwork, calligraphy, or scenic imagery. It is particularly suited for projects aiming to create a cultural, scholarly, or serene atmospheric space.

Product Benefits
This wall paper offers specific benefits for creating distinctive interior environments.
Authentic Textural Presence
Delivers a deep, tactile surface that closely resembles handmade paper or natural fiber cloth, adding warmth and character to walls that flat paint or smooth vinyl cannot achieve.
Easy Installation & Removal
The non-woven backing allows for paste application directly to the wall, with the material remaining stable and easy to position. It is designed to be dry-strippable, facilitating renovation.
Conceals Imperfections
The pronounced texture effectively masks minor wall surface irregularities, cracks, or unevenness, reducing the need for perfect wall preparation.
Product Features
Distinct features that support the material's functionality and aesthetic purpose.
- Non-Woven Dimensional Stability: Does not expand or contract significantly when wet with paste, ensuring seams remain tight and aligned.
- Breathable Structure: Allows moisture vapor to pass through, reducing the risk of mold or blistering in properly ventilated rooms.
- Pre-Coat for Printing: Factory-applied coating ensures consistent ink reception and color vibrancy across the textured field.
- Edge Tear Resistance: Strong non-woven fibers resist tearing during trimming and installation.
- Ink-Smudge Resistant: Porous coating locks ink droplets quickly, minimizing risk of smudging during post-print handling.
- Wide Roll Availability: Available in wide widths (e.g., 1.06m) to minimize seams in large mural applications.
- Low-Glare Surface: Matte, textured finish diffuses light, reducing glare and creating a soft visual effect.
- Repaintable (with caution): If desired in the future, the surface can be carefully painted over with low-viscosity paint, though this will obscure the print and texture.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plasterboard / Drywall (painted) | Fill holes, sand, apply primer/sealer | Excellent | Butt joints tightly; texture helps hide seams | 10+ years |
| Plaster (smooth finish) | Ensure sound, clean, and primed surface | Very Good | As above | 10+ years |
| Concrete (smooth) | Must be sealed and absolutely dry | Good | Ensure flat surface for good seam contact | 8+ years |
| Existing Wallpaper (vinyl) | Not recommended. Must be removed. | Poor | - | - |
| Previously Textured Walls (e.g., popcorn) | Not recommended. Texture mismatch may show. | Poor | - | - |
Installation & Printing Guidance
Wall Preparation
Walls must be clean, dry, smooth, and free of dust, grease, or flaking paint. Apply an oil-based or acrylic wallcovering primer to ensure proper adhesion and strippability.
Design & Print Advice
Use bold designs with good contrast. Fine lines and small text may appear less distinct due to texture. Increase ink saturation slightly to compensate for light absorption.
Pasting Technique
Apply paste evenly to the wall, not the paper. Hang the pre-trimmed strip, smooth from top to center, then bottom to center with a plastic smoother, expelling air bubbles.
Post-Installation Care
Allow paste to dry completely (24-48 hours) before touching. Clean with a dry cloth or a lightly dampened sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about the properties and use of Coarse Xuan Flannelette Wall Paper.
It can be used in well-ventilated bathrooms and kitchens away from direct splashing (e.g., not behind a sink or inside a shower). Its moisture resistance is good but not impervious. For areas with high humidity or steam, ensure adequate ventilation and consider a protective clear coat over the print.
While possible, the coarse texture will impart a "painterly" or "canvas-like" effect to photographs, softening fine details. This can be a desirable artistic effect. For critical photo-realism, a smoother wall covering media is recommended.
Start at a seam or corner and pull slowly and steadily at a shallow angle. The non-woven backing is designed to separate from the wall in one dry strip, leaving the paste layer on the wall, which can then be washed off with water.
It is compatible with standard latex and eco-solvent printers commonly used for wallcoverings. For UV printers, a white primer undercoat is typically required to ensure adhesion to the textured, porous surface.
Lead time depends on the print service provider and order volume. Standard digital printing on this material typically requires a few business days for production after file approval, excluding shipping time.
