PAPERLAM is a decorative film with adhesive that is applicable on site as well as factory. Recreate your world with PAPERLAM. It is an ideal way to finish many environments on site with little or no down time. PAPERLAM is used extensively for interior applications such as hotels, corporate lobbies, corporate and elevators. With its light weight and minimal thickness, PAPERLAM is a popular choice for interiors PAPERLAM offer plenty of patterns including solid color, abstract drawings and natural material replications such as wood and stone. PAPERLAM's pressure sensitive adhesive ensures clean, fast installation on a variety of substrates. With its superior flexibility. PAPERLAM can be installed on highlighted detailed and 3D surfaces.
Paperlam Benefits
PAPERLAM is best characterized as an architectural design film, and is made primarily from PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). It is sometimes referred to as a cladding or a vinyl laminate. Following are some the many benefits that make PAPERLAM the perfect solution to many decorative problems-
Hybrid Adhesive
Most of the PAPERLAM patterns are using the hybrid type adhesive. This adhesive system simplifies the removal of air during the application as compared to the flat type adhesive. Although ordinary pressure must still be applied to the hybrid type adhesive, the air left between PAPERLAM and the substrate is less appreciable than in the case of the flat type adhesive.
Flexible and Conformable Film
PAPERLAM can be applied to many two-dimensional decorative surfaces and tailored to a 90 to 180 degrees angle for such uses as door frame, mouldings, handrails, cabinet doors, store fixtures and panel projects. Many of the PAPERLAM patterns can also be stretched to conform to three-dimensional surfaces by Certified Installers. This allows PAPERLAM to be applied to many decorative surfaces with bull-nose edges as well as concave and convex surfaces.
Fire and Smoke Resistant
PAPERLAM meets very high standards and carries Class A (Class resistant 1) fire and smoke ratings. As such, PAPERLAM can be installed in high-risk areas such as elevators, public transportation, health care facilities, airports, restaurants, office complexes, cruise and marine, etc.
Stain Resistant
PAPERLAM offers excellent stain resistance to many substances. In most cases, stains can be easily removed using a soft cloth and household cleaner such as dishwashing liquid. In other cases, a solution of denatured alcohol will generally remove the stain.
Water and Moisture Resistant
Although PAPERLAM provides sufficient durability against water, substrates affected by deterioration such as rust may cause delimitation of PAPERLAM or other problems. Adequate water proofing primers should be used on the substrate as well as the overlap bonding technique for seaming.
