Non-woven is a mixed material of paper mass and synthetic fibres. The combination makes the material form-resistant and easy to install. Synthetic fibres are made from recycled sources such as PET bottles. Non-woven wallpapers are easy to install because you put the adhesive directly on the wall instead of on the wallpaper. Because the wallpaper is placed edge to edge, you get nice and seamless joints.

The lengths of our wallpapers are 53 cm wide and 10 m long.

You can use our Wallpaper Calculator to calculate how many rolls you need for your room. It is a helpful tool which you can find on each product page. Note that the calculation is a tool of estimation, and Norrviva is not responsible for inaccuracies.

The calculator does not consider doors, windows, and other irregularities for measuring the number of rolls needed. If you need more clarification about how many rolls of wallpaper you need, you should consult an expert before ordering.

Non-woven is a mixed material of paper mass and synthetic fibres. The combination makes the material form-resistant and easy to install. Our supplier uses recycled sources such as PET-bottles to make synthetic fibres. Our paper manufacturers are currently exploring the possibilities for products made of 100% natural fibres. Hopefully, this is something we can soon offer in our assortment.

The colours come from the Netherlands and are water-based. They are free of PVC, solvents, heavy metals or harmful substances. The binder is made of titanium dioxide and styrene-acrylic-polymer. The composition of colours and coating complies with Swedish and European regulations and the REACH legislation. We recycle excess dyes in production.

Energy used at the factory is Co2 compensated; some come from reused production waste, and some come from green LPG. Before the end of 2023, most of the energy used in production in planned to be sourced from solar panels.

We recommend using a high-quality adhesive especially made for heavy non-woven wallpapers. 

For Swedish customers, we recommend using the Bostik Hernia Non-Woven wallpaper adhesive, an adhesive approved by the STB (the Swedish Wallpaper Council).

All colours are mixed by hand at the wallpaper factory. Colour mixing is a genuine craft; therefore, supplying any exact colour codes is impossible.

However, if you take a sample of the wallpaper to a paint shop, they can help you mix a colour matching your wallpaper. 

We try our hardest to present our wallpapers accurately but bear in mind that colours are perceived differently in reality and on screens. Sometimes colour differs slightly from reality to how they look in a photo. And colours look pretty different from screen to screen. Note also that the light settings of the environment can affect how colours are perceived.  

We recommend ordering a sample for help with colour thoughts and choices. Put the sample on your wall, and see how different lights of the day stunningly interact with the colours of the wallpaper (morning, mid-day, night, with lamps and without).

Of course! The samples are cut randomly in A4 size from chosen wallpaper and shipped to your mailbox in a few days. Note that it is not possible to return or refund wallpaper samples.

No, we don't. Our material is the highest quality available on the market and lasts longer than self-adhesive wallpapers when applied correctly. We don't find self-adhesive wallpapers easier to install; there is a lot of work to avoid bubbles, ensure that patterns match and get the optimal result.

Yes, you can; please ask advice to your local paint shop. It might affect appearance, and we are not responsible for any damages or impact that the chosen coating could have.

However, they should not be exposed to high humidity or direct contact with water.
