Product Release: VersaGuard Flexible Wall Protection
LOUISVILLE, KY - Versa Wallcovering® has developed VersaGuard™, a flexible wall protection that is more durable than Type II wallcovering and more affordable than rigid panels. The heavy-duty 33 oz. vinyl construction and durable protective top film provides an attractive wall surface that is four times more impact resistant than Type II wallcovering, according to independent testing. Engineered to perform in high-traffic corridors and public spaces, VersaGuard shields walls from rigorous use and the repeated impact of rolling traffic such as desk chairs, carts and gurneys. The innovative wall concept is highly resistant to soiling and tough stains such as mustard, ink and iodine. When cleaning is needed, stringent agents such as bleach or rubbing alcohol can be used, making it ideal for spaces with demanding sanitation needs.
VersaGuard is made with award-winning Second-Look® Recycled Technology and contains 20% recycled content by weight, including 10% post-consumer. The new type of wall protection is low-VOC and meets California 01350 for low-emitting materials. VersaGuard has a long life cycle even in extreme applications and maintains a clean, attractive appearance for many years.
“VersaGuard is a breakthough product for specifiers looking for a durable, cleanable and affordable wall surface,” said Beth Rich, Versa Marketing Director. “Options were previously limited to Type II wallcovering that did not always perform against heavy use or rigid panels that are costly, less attractive and only available in 4’x8’ sheet.”
VersaGuard combines the aesthetic appeal of wallcovering with enhanced durability and cleanability for heavy use areas in hospitals, schools, hospitality, corporate and public spaces. The new formulation is initially offered in 12 selections of Versa’s Panama Linen, a realistic linen design whose warmth and sophistication belies its tough performance. A fresh and flexible color palette suits its wide range of applications. Custom designs and colors are available.
