Environmental Information: York Contract Wallcoverings

York Wallcoverings recognizes the importance of protecting the environment and using resources wisely. This recognition extends from our manufacturing process to final installation and use of our products.

All of our wallcovering products are produced with environmental friendly, water based inks. And York has been a pioneer in the development and use of low smoke emitting inks.

More important for the end user has been York’s role in testing and developing commercial wallcoverings that meet indoor air quality standards.
