non[-]wovens [or nonwovens] Explanation: Non-woven can be a noun as well as an adjective. And a non[-]woven can be many things other than wall paper. Within the industry. It is usually referred to as a non[-]tissé or nontissé. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day9 hrs (2008-08-30 17:57:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- York In terms of installation advances, the biggest news coming down the pike is the introduction of **non-wovens**. Here is a product that’s clearly easier to install and remarkably superior to remove. Our Surestrip-Prepasted (York) and Easy2-Paste the Wall (Carey Lind) are certainly much easier to work with than traditional wallpapers. Because of the breathable nature of non-wovens, you remove the risk of air bubbles. Because of the stable fibers of some non-wovens, you get a product that doesn’t expand or contract, and therefore nulls the risk of unsightly seams. Because of the stronger nature of the fibers, Surestrip-Prepasted and Easy2-Paste-The-Wall hang like a breeze– you can even smooth out the paper with your bare hands. And when it comes to removability, it’s just night and day. We guarantee that those products strip in seconds and in full strips, or the removing process is on us! http://wallpapernews.com/2005/10/wall-preps-removal/ Are consumers moving toward higher-end wallcoverings? Definitely. I would say almost every day of the week people are choosing products that cost $50 and $75 a roll. You basically have the do-it-yourselfers buying from the big box stores and those at the other end choosing designer goods. The middle market has gone away. By the way, I expect the new **non-wovens** we spoke about earlier to re-energize that middle-market area. http://www.paintpro.net/Articles/PP604/PP604_Wallcoverings.c... Since there aren't any industry statistics that reflect recent sales increases, there are only two certainties that are totally on-target about wallpaper — it is available in more incarnations than ever before, and **non-wovens** are becoming a major force in the market. http://www.northshoremag.com/cgi-bin/ns-article?article=/hom... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day10 hrs (2008-08-30 18:01:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Correction for "Within the industry. It is usually referred to as a non[-]tissé or nontissé. " I meant to say that within the French and English nonwovens industry they typically don't put in the hyphen. So, within the industry, it is "nontissé" or nonwoven. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day10 hrs (2008-08-30 18:05:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Examples with nonwovens: The industry of wallpaper has seen a new technological wave of manufacturing wallpaper within the past year. Manufacturers are now noticing how revolutionary non-woven fabric backed wallpapers can be to the decorating industry. Now, many of the major wallpaper makers are developing their own recipes for **nonwovens, as they are commonly referred to as.** http://www.papermywalls.com/removable_wallpaper.html The wallcovering market is still dominated by paper-based products, but **nonwovens** are growing in popularity. http://www.walldecorshops.com/kanonwovens.html Top: Business: Textiles and **Nonwovens**: http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Textiles_and_Nonwovens -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days4 hrs (2008-09-01 12:44:48 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- You're welcome, Miriam, and thank you :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days4 hrs (2008-09-01 12:45:35 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- You're welcome, Mariam, and thank you :-) |
