Materials
We just received a submission from WallArt and we are Loving it! We are big fans of 3D wall panels as they add coolness and texture to any room . WallArt has 16 models to choose from – now, that’s a tough decision!
WallArt will bring your walls to life with their eco friendly 3d-wallpanels made out of the fibrous residue of sugarcane also called bagasse. This fibres of crushed sugarcane stalks, remaining after raw sugar is extracted from the juice of the sugarcane by shredding it, is now the raw material that forms the base of this easily installed eco friendly interior product. The raw material used for WallArt 3d-wallpanels is 100% recycled, compostable and therefore 100% biodegradable.
WallArt 3d wall panels are all made out of a renewable source which is biodegradable and therefore contribute to sustainability. Bagasse, as a residue of sugarcane, is one of the world’s most renewable sources because sugarcane can be harvested up to 3 times a year. The total harvest worldwide is more than 1.2 billion metric tons yearly and out of each 3 ton of sugarcane there remains 1 ton of bagasse. By using this recycled raw material we can say this 3d-wallpaper is a real eco decor product.

The new Henley range from Topps Tiles is a great way to get the Alhambra look. Each piece is made up of four tiles, making them brilliant value for the size.
Topps Tiles have used the most advanced digital printing technology to recreate the encaustic patterns. In limited instances a very faint micro line may appear on the surface of the tile but this is a characteristic of digital printing technology and does not in any way compromise the final aesthetical appearance of the tile when laid on the floor.
