Non-woven Matt

A dimensionally stable material, most used for residential walls. The base is a fabric-like material made from long fibers bonded together by heat treatment. This creates a mesh that bonds the wood fibers tightly together, making the product extremely durable.

The matt non-woven is made without textured embossing, and a heavy-metal-free protective varnish is added for extra washability and scrub resistance.

  • UV resistant
  • No added formaldehyde or heavy metals
