Smarter Walls Start Here: Commercial Wallcoverings Without the Compromises

Written by Liliana Wright | Jan 22, 2026 2:36:05 PM

DreamScape® Novalon® Changes the Conversation Around Performance and Sustainability

In today’s commercial interiors, wallcoverings have to do more than look good. They need to withstand high-traffic environments, support healthier indoor air quality, and meet increasingly stringent sustainability and building standards. That’s where many traditional vinyl wallcoverings fall short.

DreamScape Tapestry 20oz and Whisper 20oz, both made with Novalon®, were designed to solve that challenge, delivering commercial-grade durability without PVC or harmful additives.

   

Performance vs. Health & Sustainability

Specifiers, designers, and facility managers are often faced with the choice between durability and environmental responsibility. Traditional vinyl wallcoverings may offer strength, but they can introduce concerns around VOCs, plasticizers, and other chemicals- especially in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and LEED- or WELL-driven projects.

DreamScape Novalon® wallcoverings provide the look, feel, and durability of heavy-duty commercial wallcoverings without relying on PVC.

Why Tapestry 20oz and Whisper 20oz stand out:

  • PVC-free construction made from sustainable olefins

  • ~15% post-consumer recycled content, reducing reliance on virgin materials

  • Low-VOC and Red List Free, supporting healthier indoor air quality

  • Free from plasticizers, phthalates, chlorine, heavy metals, and formaldehyde

This makes Novalon® an ideal choice for spaces where air quality, occupant health, and material transparency matter just as much as aesthetics.

Built for Commercial Spaces

Both Tapestry 20oz and Whisper 20oz are Type II commercial wallcoverings, offering durability comparable to traditional vinyl without sacrificing ease of installation.

  • Suitable for high-traffic environments like offices, retail, hospitality, education, and healthcare

  • Excellent embossing depth and texture definition for a clean, modern finish

  • Installs like standard commercial wallcoverings- no special processes required

Whether the goal is subtle texture or refined visual interest, these wallcoverings support both design intent and long-term performance.

Easier to Specify for Regulated & Eco-Conscious Projects

Novalon® carries a Declare label and is Red List Free, making it easier to specify for projects pursuing LEED, WELL Building Standard, or other sustainability benchmarks. Designers no longer have to compromise durability to meet environmental or health requirements.

A Smarter Choice for Modern Interiors

DreamScape Tapestry 20oz and Whisper 20oz prove that commercial wallcoverings can be durable, beautiful, and responsibly made- all at the same time. For projects where performance, aesthetics, and healthier spaces matter, Novalon® delivers confidence from specification to installation.
