Empaistic Wall Paper
Decorative wall covering material utilizing embossed surface patterns to create tactile and visual dimension for interior wall finishes.
Product Overview
Empaistic Wall Paper is a surface-engineered interior finishing material defined by its raised, textured relief patterns. Manufactured through a controlled calendering and embossing process, this wall covering converts standard PVC or non-woven substrates into surfaces that interact with ambient light to produce shadow effects and depth. The material is designed to meet fire classification standards and utilizes phthalate-free formulations for interior air quality compliance.
The structure consists of a printed base layer overlaid with a transparent or pigmented relief coating, forming permanent topographical variations. This construction provides resistance to surface abrasion and maintains pattern integrity during installation and cleaning. Available in roll formats compatible with standard wallpaper pasting machines and hand-trimming methods.

Product Benefits
Structural characteristics that distinguish embossed wall paper from flat printed alternatives during specification and installation phases.
Substrate Irregularity Concealment
Relief surface refracts light to visually minimize minor wall undulations and joint lines.
Tactile Feedback Integration
Raised patterns provide physical texture detectable by touch, enabling wayfinding or sensory design.
Impact Point Deflection
Compressible relief absorbs low-energy contact, reducing permanent dents compared to flat vinyl.
Product Features
Construction elements integrated during the embossing and coating stages to ensure pattern retention and installation efficiency.
- Debossed Register: Pattern aligned to printed design within ±0.5mm tolerance
- Vinyl Cap Layer: 15μm clear protective overlay against pigment abrasion
- Moisture Vapor Permeable: ≤ 150 Sd value for mold mitigation
- Strike-Through Resistance: Paste blocking layer prevents adhesive migration to surface
- Anti-Static Surface: < 10^10 Ω/sq to reduce dust attraction
- Strippable Construction: Removes in full sheets without residual adhesive
- Reinforced Selvedge: 15mm edge zones with higher tensile modulus
Product Applications
Deployment contexts where raised surface topography contributes to spatial definition or brand environment objectives.
Hospitality Feature Walls
Headboard backdrops and lobby accent panels requiring visual weight without added physical bulk.
- Hotel Guest Rooms: Zone differentiation between sleeping and seating areas
- Restaurant Partitions: Durable surface resistant to dining chair contact
- Bar Fronts: Vertical surface treatment complementing horizontal wood elements
Corporate Reception Zones
Brand identity reinforcement through custom embossed logos or repetitive geometric patterns on lobby walls.
- Logo Integration: 0.5mm-0.8mm relief for company emblem visibility
- Acoustic Panels: Combined with perforated sound-absorbing backers
- Elevator Interiors: Scratch-resistant specification for high-traffic contact zones
Healthcare Calming Environments
MRI suites and pediatric wards where non-repetitive natural textures (bamboo, stone) reduce patient anxiety.
- CT Scanning Rooms: Non-reflective matte emboss to eliminate equipment glare
- Corridor Wainscoting: 1200mm Dado height with reinforced scrub zones
Installation Parameter Guide
| Application Context | Recommended Relief Height | Substrate Type | Adhesive Specification | Pattern Registration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retail Window Backdrop | 0.4mm - 0.6mm | Non-woven | Cellulose ether (light tack) | Random match |
| Hotel Corridor | 0.8mm - 1.2mm | PVC Reinforced | Dispersion acrylic (permanent) | Straight match |
| Residential Accent | 0.3mm - 0.5mm | Paper-backed | Starch-based (strippable) | Drop match |
Installation Considerations
Paste Selection
Heavier emboss (≥0.8mm) requires high-tack adhesive with longer open time to prevent edge lifting.
Seam Rolling
Use 38mm seam roller with 1.5kg pressure; excessive force flattens relief on overlap seams.
Light Orientation
Grazing light from window direction accentuates relief; install panels so dominant light source aligns with pattern grain.
Acclimation
Unpack rolls 48h prior at 18°C-25°C to allow relief relaxation from roll set memory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Technical inquiries regarding material behavior, specification limits, and long-term maintenance of embossed wall finishes.
PVC-based versions with moisture-resistant backing are suitable for Zone 3 bathroom areas (outside splash zones). Non-woven variants require complete sealing of edges with silicone to prevent wicking. The embossed profile does not trap water if vertical drainage is unimpeded.
The material is not engineered for post-installation painting. Application of solvent-borne coatings fills low-relief areas and bridges defined edges. Water-based emulsions may cause cellulose fiber raising in non-woven substrates. Specify pre-finished colors.
Continuous production embossing maintains relief height within ±0.1mm tolerance. Pattern registration is monitored via optical sensors. Rolls from different production lots should be inspected for relief depth consistency prior to sequencing.
Vacuum with soft brush attachment removes dust from recesses without surface contact. For spot cleaning, use microfiber dampened with water and mild non-ionic detergent. Abrasive sponges or bristled brushes will flatten relief peaks.
The embossed profile alone provides negligible NRC improvement (<0.05). When acoustic performance is required, specify versions pre-laminated to 2mm-3mm compressed polyester felt. The relief surface prevents flutter echo through diffusion.
