Construction and materials
The CannonBall brand offers a versatile wallcovering solution designed for durability and aesthetic appeal. These wallcoverings are engineered with a focus on robust construction and the use of high-quality materials to ensure longevity and ease of maintenance in various environments.
The primary material utilized in CannonBall wallcoverings is a proprietary blend of resilient vinyl compounds. This vinyl is specifically formulated to resist scuffs, impacts, and stains, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas such as hallways, patient rooms, and commercial spaces. The layered construction of the wallcovering typically includes:
- Surface Layer: This is the protective topcoat, often infused with antimicrobial agents to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew, particularly important for healthcare and institutional settings. It is also treated for stain resistance and ease of cleaning.
- Decorative Layer: This layer provides the visual design, offering a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns to complement any interior design scheme.
- Base Layer: This forms the structural integrity of the wallcovering, ensuring it adheres securely to the wall and provides a smooth, even finish. It is designed to be flexible yet strong, accommodating minor imperfections in the underlying wall surface.
The manufacturing process emphasizes precision and consistency to deliver a product that meets stringent performance standards. The vinyl is calendared to achieve uniform thickness and texture, and the inks used for the decorative layer are formulated for fade resistance and colorfastness. The overall construction results in a product that is not only visually appealing but also highly functional, offering a protective barrier for walls while enhancing the overall environment.
CannonBall wallcoverings are available in various formats to suit different application needs. These may include rolls of standard width and length, allowing for efficient installation with minimal seams. The materials are selected for their fire-retardant properties, contributing to building safety codes and regulations.
