PVC Free Wallpaper

PVC Free Wallpaper

PVC free wallpaper covers residential wallcoverings manufactured without polyvinyl chloride — the synthetic plastic polymer used in conventional vinyl wallpaper that releases phthalates and chlorinated compounds during production and disposal. For homeowners and designers who prioritise low-VOC, sustainable, and healthier interior environments, PVC free wallpaper provides an alternative to conventional vinyl that maintains practical performance characteristics while reducing chemical exposure and environmental impact. At The WorkRoom, our PVC free wallpaper collection spans designs from brands including Boråstapeter, Sandberg, and others committed to responsible manufacturing.

Why PVC Free Matters

PVC production involves chlorine chemistry that generates persistent environmental contaminants. In residential applications, off-gassing from PVC wallcovering contributes to indoor VOC levels — a consideration that has grown in importance alongside broader awareness of indoor air quality. PVC free wallpaper typically uses non-woven or paper substrates with water-based printing inks and alternative performance coatings that achieve cleanability and durability without PVC chemistry. Scandinavian wallpaper brands — particularly Boråstapeter and Sandberg — have been leaders in PVC free construction, as Nordic interior design has long prioritised sustainability and indoor air quality.
