This is a set of symbols that are responsible for moisture resistance. The more waves are depicted in the picture, the more resistant to moisture the wallpaper is.

The logo in 2 waves is washable wallpaper. It can be washed with a wrung out damp cloth without harming the material of the product.

Super-washable wallpaper (3 waves) – can also be washed with a wrung-out damp cloth, with the additional use of a gentle detergent.

4 and 5 symbols are wallpapers resistant to wet abrasion. The logo depicts a wave and a brush.

This type of wallpaper is well suited for use in kitchens and other rooms with a high risk of wall contamination.

Important! Do not use cleaning agents with a high alkali content. They can damage the paint and spoil the appearance of the canvas.

 

Lightfastness
This is the material's resistance to ultraviolet radiation.

Wallpaper with sufficient and satisfactory lightfastness is best used in rooms that are not exposed to direct sunlight.

If such wallpaper is regularly exposed to direct sunlight, it may fade after a few years.

Models with good and very good lightfastness can be exposed to partial sunlight for a long time without losing color for ten years or more.

Excellent lightfastness in turn will ensure maximum resistance to UV radiation.


Impact resistance
This sign can most often be found on vandal-proof wallpaper, with the highest level of moisture resistance.

This coating is particularly resistant to mechanical impacts and will be especially relevant for areas with high traffic, such as hallways.

You can also opt for impact-resistant wallpaper if you have small children at home who may accidentally damage the wallpaper while playing.
