Unfortunately, we do not have an outlet store in Wuppertal.

The paper factory, Erfurt & Sohn KG, was founded in 1827 by Friedrich Erfurt. In 1864, Hugo Erfurt, grandson of the company’s founder, developed a new product called Rauhfaser. By the twentieth century, Hugo Erfurt’s invention would prove itself a worldwide sensation. The material was used initially to decorate shop windows and as a base paper for size print wallpaper. In the 1920s, its advantages in at-home décor were discovered. Painted in individual colours, it was possible to achieve unique effects in each room.

Our products contain only paper fibres, textile fibres, wood pulp, and wood dust, as well as auxiliary materials. To this end they have been issued a Certificate of Conformity in all areas from the ISEGA (Research and Testing Institute in Aschaffenburg, Germany.) Our wallpapers do not contain PVC, toxic softeners, or glass fibres.

It is a smooth nonwoven wall covering that is manufactured using a proportion of special carbon fibres and helps to absorb high- and low-frequency electrical radiation.

The lengths are connected to the nearest earth line using EMV system earthing tape.

Apply two coats of weather-resistant emulsion paint, silicon resin paint or flexible façade paint. Silicon resin paints are especially suitable.

Using KlimaTec thermal nonwoven / KlimaTec Pro KV 600 you will have warm walls and a cosy feeling in your room just short time after you have switched on the heating  - no more cold walls. You will be primarily heating the air in the room and not the walls, thereby saving a significant amount of energy when heating rooms intermittently.

The energy-saving wall covering can be papered over with all conventional wall coverings, such as ERFURT woodchip.

They are made of 100% nonwoven, are simple and easy to apply, have excellent adhesion (even on rough base surfaces, such as ERFURT woodchip and fine plaster), can be removed without leaving a trace and can be reused.

CONCLUSION:

”ERFURT - Proven safety: Just for you” is a small demonstration of our internal quality assurance efforts, and our obligation to have these continually approved by third parties.

Yes. When purchasing wallpaper with a repeating pattern, an adjustment must be made when calculating the number of rolls to buy. As a rule, therefore, you should plan to purchase ca. 1 to 2 more rolls, because only 3, instead of 4, strips of wallpaper per roll can be cut. 

When using the wall adhesive technique, paste is applied to the walls, and the dry strips of wallpaper may be laid onto the pasted wall and pressed onto the wall. This is only possible with wallpapers that that hold their dimensions, such as fleece wallpapers. This is not possible with paper wall coverings.

Variovlies and Trendvlies are smooth, crack-resistant, dimension-holding materials, which are made of wood pulp and textile fibres.

Variovlies weighs 160g per square metre, measures 25m long x 0.75m wide and is  available in professional stores. Trendvlies weighs 140g per square metre, measures
20 m long x 0.75 m wide and is available in do-it-yourself/home improvement stores.

All white wallpapers and Rauhfaser must be painted. We recommend dispersion paints marked DIN EN 13300. The best paints to use are satin-gloss and high-gloss paints, because they enhance the appearance of the textures better than do matte paints.

The main difference between the two is in the material. Novaboss Pro is a three-layer embossed wallpaper. It is a good alternative to foam wallpapers, because they contain PVC and are not as resistant to abrasion. Foam wallpapers are based on a PVC film laminated with a paper or fleece layer.

Rauhfaser contains recycled paper and wood pulp (high-quality paper fibres.) The wood fibres, which create the texture, are made out of solid fir tree wood (from well-managed forests in Germany.)

In the production of Rauhvlies, textile fibres are also added. These additives give Rauhvlies its stability in dimension and its tear-resistance.

All ERFURT wallpapers may be used in any room of your home. In the bathroom, the water should not be allowed to spray onto the wallpaper (directly inside the shower) or the paste will loosen. Water splashed from the tiles or onto the ceiling will not loosen the wallpaper.
