When renovating your office or upgrading your home interior design, safety regulations can feel like a creative roadblock. Many business owners assume they must sacrifice style for compliance, settling for bland, regulation-approved materials that lack personality. However, this outdated thinking overlooks modern innovations in wall graphics and custom wallpaper technology.
Window Art’s approach proves that safety-conscious decorating doesn’t mean compromising on visual impact. With many years of experience, we’ve developed solutions that meet stringent fire safety requirements while delivering the creative freedom you need to transform any space.
Meeting Strict Fire Regulations Without Compromise
Office buildings, retail spaces, and commercial environments often face strict fire safety requirements that limit decorating options. Traditional wallpapers and wall graphics frequently fail these standards, leaving business owners with limited choices for creating impressive, branded environments.
Window Art’s custom wallpaper specifically addresses this challenge. Our materials are Class A, CA 1237, B1, M1, and ISO 5660 approved, making them flame-resistant and suitable for spaces controlled by strict fire regulations. This means you can confidently install stunning wall graphics in offices, restaurants, hotels, and other commercial spaces without worrying about compliance issues.
The flame-resistant properties don’t just tick safety boxes—they provide genuine protection and peace of mind. Whether you’re creating a feature wall in a corporate boardroom or adding branding elements to a retail space, you can focus on design knowing safety standards are exceeded.
Water-Based Inks: The Safer Choice
Not all printing methods are created equal when it comes to safety. Window Art exclusively uses water-based latex inks for all custom wallpaper projects. These inks are inherently the safest available today because they’re not made with the same hazardous chemicals found in other printing methods.
This choice reflects our commitment to both immediate safety and long-term health considerations. Your employees, customers, and family members won’t be exposed to harmful chemical off-gassing that can occur with inferior inks. The water-based formulation also contributes to better indoor air quality—an increasingly important consideration for modern workplaces.
Built to Last: Durability Meets Safety
Safety compliance means nothing if materials deteriorate quickly. Window Art’s custom wallpaper is engineered for longevity with scratch-resistant and water-resistant properties. The materials maintain their flame-resistant characteristics throughout their 5-10 year guarantee period.
This durability is particularly valuable in high-traffic areas where wall graphics might face daily wear. The scrub-resistant surface means you can maintain hygiene standards without compromising the material’s safety properties or visual appeal.
