A separate laboratory classification
We do not issue this classification for fabric wallcoverings. Suitable fabric can be treated before the complete system is submitted to an appropriate laboratory.

- Classification cannot be promised before testing
- We can discuss the route before treatment
If you have been given a specific standard: send us the wording before treatment.
Absorbency matters
Can the fabric accept treatment?
Clean, untreated and absorbent fabrics are usually the strongest candidates. Waterproofed, coated, painted, waxed or heavily backed materials may not absorb the treatment correctly.
Materials that may be unsuitable
- Waterproofed or water-resistantMay not absorb treatment.
- Waxed, painted or varnishedSurface finishes can prevent penetration.
- Plastic-coated or heavily backedMay require a different solution.
- Delicate or colour-sensitiveA sample may be recommended first.
