Surface iQ

Carnegie has added the Surface iQ line of competitively priced polyethylene wallcoverings to their catalogue. In addition to passing California Section 01350 for indoor air emissions, this PVC-free product uses water-based inks without heavy metals and chlorine; nonhalogenated, natural-clay fire retardants; and a non-arsenate antimicrobial.

The textured face is backed with cellulose and polyester, and installs with the same adhesives typically used for vinyl products. Surface iQ is available with microperforations to reduce the potential for moisture build-up behind the wallcovering during cooling season in humid climates.
