H&V offers the first direct-print nonwoven substrates that make
wallcoverings simple to hang and simple to remove. There’s no need to
use "the system" and its special primers, pastes, and tools when it’s
time for removal. H&V’s residential substrate, WallTek® and commercial
substrate, HollTek®, are easy to install and easy to remove in single
sheets, every time, without damaging the walls.

These materials have exceptional dimensional stability
and meet the technical and decorative requirements of both residential
and commercial wallcovering producers. With a surface that can be
directly printed, they eliminate the need for additional coating or
laminating. All of H&V’s substrates are environmentally friendly and
PVC-free. The material is breathable with high air permeability to
resist mold and mildew formation -- a growing health concern.
H&V produces a full line of substrates and wall liners that meet
virtually any wallcovering requirements.
Innovative Technology for the Wallcovering Industry
Borrowing technology from papermaking, textile production, and film manufacturing,
H&V’s engineered nonwoven "fabrics" have been specifically developed for the
wallcovering industry. Company technologists recognized that today’s interior
decorators are placing rigorous demands on wallcovering products. Commercial and
institutional customers in the hospitality, government, educational, and health care
markets require environmentally friendly wallcoverings. These materials must be easily
disposable and should not contain materials that support mold and mildew growth -
a growing health concern. In addition, residential and do-it-yourself customers
want wallcoverings that are dimensionally stable, hang easily, and strip effortlessly
during redecorating. And wallcovering manufacturers want substrates that do not require
expensive and time-consuming coating and laminating processes.
WallTek and HollTek substrates are delivered to the wallcovering producer ready to
print on all of the platforms used in the industry: surface, flexo, roto-screen, or
rotogravure. H&V has also used this technology to develop coating substrates that
can accept acrylic, plastisol, or other print ready coatings, while preserving
dimensional stability and stripability.
