Why Do Modern Facilities Rely on Commercial Vinyl Wall Coverings?
Standard commercial paint works well in many spaces. But in high-traffic corridors, patient rooms, hospitality lobbies, and institutional hallways, paint wears down fast. Scuffs build up. Touch-ups pile up. Costs add up.
Commercial vinyl wall covering is a smarter long-term investment for spaces that take constant daily abuse. Here is what makes it a better fit:
- Impact and Scuff Resistance: Type II commercial vinyl holds up to carts, luggage, and heavy foot traffic. Standard paint does not.
- Longer Lifespan: Vinyl wall covering can last 10 to 15 years or more. Paint in the same space may need recoating every two to three years.
- Hygienic and Scrubbable: Vinyl withstands industrial bleach and sanitizing agents without fading. Harsh disinfectants erode standard paint over time.
- Fire Safety Compliance: Type II commercial vinyl wallpaper carries a standard Class A Fire Rating tested under ASTM E-84 protocols.

- Tight, clean seams designed for easy sanitation
- Materials rated to withstand industrial-grade cleaning agents without degrading

Our Certified Commercial Installation Framework
A vinyl wall covering installation done right starts before the first panel goes up. Here is what you can expect when you work with Hursh Painting as your wallcovering installation company.
1. Site Assessment
We walk your space, evaluate the wall substrate, and identify surface prep requirements.

Walls are cleaned, repaired, and primed. If mold or mildew is present, we clean and treat it before installation begins. Good prep is what makes the finish last.

4. Installation
Clean, accurate work with tight seams, matched patterns where required, and careful edge detail throughout.
5. Protection and Closeout
Your furniture, fixtures, and flooring are protected during the work. We leave your space clean when we are done.

FAQs About Vinyl Wall Covering Installation
Have questions before getting started? Here are the ones we hear most often. Call us or request a quote if you need more details.
What is the difference between Type I and Type II commercial vinyl wall coverings?
Type I is lighter and suited for low-traffic areas like private offices or guest rooms. Type II is heavier, more durable, and built for high-traffic commercial spaces. For most commercial and institutional projects, Type II is the right choice.
How long does a commercial vinyl wall covering installation take?
Smaller spaces can often be completed in a few days. Larger or multi-floor projects take longer. We give you a clear scope and timeline before work begins so your team can plan around it.
Does vinyl wall covering work in occupied facilities?
Yes. We schedule around your operations and work in phases when needed. Clean job sites and clear communication are part of every project we take on.
Does vinyl wall covering prevent mold growth?
Vinyl wall covering itself does not prevent mold. However, applying a mold and mildew-resistant primer before installation reduces the risk. If we find mold or mildew during surface prep, we clean and treat it before any panel goes up.
Can vinyl wall covering be installed over existing paint or wall covering?
It depends on the condition of the existing surface. We assess the wall substrate before installation begins. If the surface needs repairs, cleaning, or repriming first, we take care of that as part of the prep process.
