Project specification · trade & commercial
Commercial wallcovering and project specification, run end-to-end.
A dedicated channel for contractors, architects, developers, designers, and procurement teams. Submit a brief, get a specification consult, and coordinate samples, pricing, and delivery across the full project.
How it works
Four steps from brief to install.
A clear, documented process so trade buyers always know where the project stands.
- Step 01
Submit project brief
Share company details, city, project type, and rough scope. Two minutes — no account required.
- Step 02
Specification consult
A specification associate replies within two business days with finish recommendations, lead times, and a preliminary quote.
- Step 03
Sample coordination
Project-coded samples are dispatched to your studio or site so you can present, approve, and lock the spec.
- Step 04
Order, deliver, install
Coordinated delivery to site with installation guidance and rolling re-order support across the project lifecycle.
