Wall Coverings in Roll Form - Vocabulary and Symbols

Practical Notes
Essential for architects and interior designers to correctly specify wall covering products and for contractors to understand application requirements from product labels.
The symbols are harmonized with international standards, making it easier to interpret products from different manufacturers and countries.
Always check the symbols for washability and light fastness to ensure the product is suitable for its intended location (e.g., high-traffic areas, rooms with direct sunlight).
