Wolf-Gordon Wallcovering: Lines, Specs and Natural-Fibre Options

What Wolf-Gordon makes, what its own specification sheets state, and where a natural fibre belongs on the same job. Facts about Wolf-Gordon are taken from its own website and linked below; Grasscloths does not represent the brand.

Quick answer: Wolf-Gordon calls itself "An American Design Company" and sells contract wallcovering under nine nav categories — Wallcovering, Wall Protection, Upholstery, Paint, Wink., Digital, Wood, GATHER Acoustical and Drapery. Its wallcovering material filters include Vinyl, Cork, Wood Veneer, Mica, Silk/Silk Blend and a Grasscloth/Paperweave category. Its spec sheets state fields such as content, backing, width, weight, repeat and ASTM E84 fire class. For corridors and wet areas its Type II vinyl is the standard answer; for guest rooms, lobbies and feature walls where the brief asks for real fibre, a natural grasscloth or sisal is specified by ASTM E84 class and backing weight, and can be woven to a colourway from 100 rolls.

Wolf-Gordon's own navigation splits its catalog into Wallcovering, Wall Protection, Upholstery, Paint, Wink., Digital, Wood, GATHER Acoustical and Drapery. Within Wallcovering, the material-type filter lists Acoustical, Cork, Corkboard, Dry Erase, Faux Suede, Grasscloth/Paperweave, Linen/Linen Blend, Mica, Mylar, Natural/Synthetic Blend, Polyester/Polyester Blend, Polyethylene, Polyolefin/Polyolefin Blend, PVC Free, Rayon/Rayon Blend, Silk/Silk Blend, Vinyl and Wood Veneer — the pattern-style filter separately lists a "Grasscloth/Rustic Designs" group. A sample spec sheet (Bamboo, a Type II vinyl pattern) states the field set below.

Getting a Natural-Fibre Match for a Wolf-Gordon Specification

When the design intent calls for real grasscloth or sisal alongside a contract vinyl line, the specifier needs three things: a sample that matches the palette, an E84 report on the exact backing, and a run that stays batch-consistent across the property. Our design studio specs the fibre, weave and colour to your cut; a partner mill weaves a proof; production runs from 100 rolls with a per-batch lot certificate. The buyer or brand commissions the fire test for their market; we supply the samples and composition data the lab needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Grasscloths affiliated with Wolf-Gordon?

No. This page is an independent reference. Product facts are taken from the brand's own website and linked above.

Can a natural wallcovering meet the same fire class as a Type II vinyl?

Often yes on the flame-spread class: paper-backed grasscloth and sisal with a fire-retardant backing can reach ASTM E84 Class A on gypsum board. Type II is a separate durability grade for vinyl and does not apply to natural fibre.

What is the minimum for a custom colourway?

100 rolls, about 500 m², per colourway, after a woven proof you approve. Catalog patterns start at 50 rolls.

How long does a matched run take?

Proof in one to two weeks; production 4–6 weeks for grasscloth and sisal after approval and payment, plus freight.
