dye lots
dye lot or “run number” printed on each roll
represents a particular group of rolls printed on the same run
ensures uniformity in color and pattern
record pattern numbers & dye lot numbers in case additional rolls are needed
pattern match/repeats
random match—pattern matches no matter how adjoining strips are positioned; produces much less waste; example—grasscloth
straight-across match—design elements match on adjoining strips; every strip same at ceiling line; example—stripes
pattern match/repeats
drop-match—half-drop—every other strip is the same at ceiling line; design elements run diagonally; takes 3 strips to repeat
multiple-drop—takes 4 or more strips to repeat
types
vinyl—variety of price points; most durable; 3 types: paper-backed, fabric-backed, vinyl-impregnated cloth
paper—more delicate; do not scrub; best used in low-maintenance rooms
embossed—have texture rolled into them; hide imperfections of wall
flocked—rayon & nylon fibers-washable; brushing against them flattens flock
types
foil—aluminum laminated to paper & simulated metallic; wash & dry carefully; show any wall imperfections
grasscloth—oriental import; variation of color throughout; vacuum gently to clean
hemp, hulu, burlap—also oriental, loom woven, delicate and unwashable
