Often, the devil is in the details. A dusting of sand, glass beads and velvety flock is a detail first introduced in the residential wallcoverings market, yet York Wallcoverings, Contract Division, now offers these specialty techniques on Type II vinyl in its new Design Works Collection, called Plaza.
“Because our R&D and manufacturing capabilities are here in the U.S., we can continually push the limits of design until we get it just right,” says Tammy Gordon, stylist at York Wallcoverings.
As the first American manufacturer to infuse its residential wallcoverings with sand and glass, York is now the first to introduce these effects on commercial-grade vinyl. The palette is neutral yet the patterns can be custom-colored, and in fact translate well into vibrant colors. York also offers custom designs in flock, sand and glass beads.
“We have essentially invented a new kind of embossing with these specialty techniques on vinyl,” says Gordon. “The tactile textures add dimensionality that envelops any space, and takes sophistication to a whole new level.”
As America’s oldest and largest wallcoverings manufacturer, York continues to design, print and distribute its five contract brands from headquarters founded in 1895 in York, Pennsylvania. Proactively committed to reducing its environmental footprint, York is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council.
