Fairlawn, OH, February 16, 2010 (NYSE: OMN) – The newest additions to OMNOVA Solutions’ portfolio of Bolta® wallcoverings deliver cutting-edge design, enabling designers to create transcendent interior environments! Kimono, Kimono Texture, Lunar Eclipse and Taza offer both yin and yang through organic designs with modern glitz and glamour. Each also features an environmentally preferred construction, utilizing OMNOVA’s exclusive RECORE™ Recycled Wall Technology. RECORE products look, perform and hang exactly like traditional vinyl wallcoverings, contain 30% recycled content, and are independently certified by Scientific Certification Systems to contain a minimum of 20% post-consumer content. These fashion-forward designs are ideal for many commercial environments, including hospitality, retail and healthcare settings.
Kimono features abstract, fan-shaped palm leaves and gently curving lines over a field of vertical lines, resembling strands of silk with tiny imperfections and subtle glimmer. Its coordinating pattern, Kimono Texture features the organic line-work of Kimono without the large-scale leaf prints. Borrowing inspiration from a Zen garden, these coordinating patterns share a diverse palette of rich natural tones and bold statement colors. Used as coordinates or individually, Kimono and Kimono Texture are sure to transform any interior space into a work of Japanese-inspired art.
The shining diamonds of Lunar Eclipse light up a sky of pure color. The pattern’s tiny stipple texture and soft lines provide a unique suede-like appearance. Lunar Eclipse is available in a palette of 18 on-trend colors imbued with metallic glimmer.
Taza resembles fine Egyptian papyrus adorned with sparkling watermarks. Each of the pattern’s 12 contemporary earth tones is offset by a darker metallic complement for a unique and dazzling effect.
These new Bolta commercial wallcovering patterns can be custom colored or weighted to meet the needs of almost any interior wall surface. For more information, visit www.omnova.com/bolta.
With their high percentage of post-consumer recycled content, RECORE wallcoverings are a smart wall surfacing choice for those pursuing building certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program. RECORE Recycled Wall Technology can be used for both new construction (LEED-NC) and commercial interior (LEED-CI) projects, and can contribute to up to six LEED credits under the Materials & Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality categories. RECORE products have been certified to contain a minimum 20% post-consumer recycled content by Scientific Certification Systems, a global leader in independent certification of environmental product claims, and they are certified for low VOC emissions by the Greenguard Environmental Institute.
Kimono, Kimono Texture, Lunar Eclipse and Taza are 20 oz., Type II, 54” wallcoverings with a 100% recycled polyester non-woven backing. They are recyclable through the OMNOVA Reclamation Program.
