Three materials.
One perfect fit.
Canvas & Ivy offers three PVC-free residential wallpaper materials: Traditional, Pre-Pasted, and Peel & Stick. Traditional and Pre-Pasted are non-woven materials; Peel & Stick is polyester-based with a self-adhesive backing. Samples are printed on the selected material so you can compare texture, finish, color, and adhesion on your wall before ordering rolls.
PVC-free wallpaper.
Especially Peel & Stick.
All three Canvas & Ivy residential materials are PVC-free—an important difference in peel-and-stick wallpaper, where vinyl/PVC is common.
Our Peel & Stick combines a PVC-free, polyester-based residential substrate with acrylic microsphere adhesive. Install it only on a very smooth, clean, fully cured wall, and always test a sample on your actual surface first.
Type II Commercial Vinyl is a separate Trade Program material and is not part of the PVC-free residential line.
Traditional
Paste the wall, then hang the dry panel.
How it installs
Apply a compatible non-woven wallpaper paste to the prepared wall, then hang the dry panel. No soaking or booking is required.
Best wall types
Who it's for
Paste-the-wall projects, full rooms, and customers working with a professional installer.
Pre-Pasted
Activate with water, book, then hang.
How it installs
Use a water tray to activate the adhesive, book the panel for 3–5 minutes, then hang it while wet and slide it into position.
Best wall types
Who it's for
DIY installations where a water-activated, lasting non-woven material is preferred.
Peel & Stick
For very smooth, fully cured walls.
How it installs
Pull back the liner and install on a very smooth, clean, fully cured surface. The acrylic microsphere adhesive allows careful repositioning during installation.
Best wall types
Who it's for
Self-adhesive installations on very smooth, fully cured walls. Test a sample first: adhesion and removal depend on paint, preparation, humidity, and how long the wallpaper remains installed.
Still not sure?
Order the design in the exact material you are considering. Every sample is 8″ × 12″ and printed on the selected material, so you can compare color, texture, finish, and—when applicable—adhesion on your actual wall. See the product page for current sample pricing.
How the Three Materials Differ
Traditional and Pre-Pasted are non-woven materials with a smoother, paper-like surface. Traditional requires a compatible paste applied to the wall. Pre-Pasted has water-activated adhesive on the back and requires a water tray and booking time before hanging.
Peel & Stick is polyester-based with a self-adhesive backing and a matte, fabric-like feel. It uses acrylic microsphere adhesive so it can be repositioned carefully during installation, but that does not guarantee damage-free removal from every wall.
Color, texture, and finish can vary by material. A sample is printed on the actual material selected, so compare the exact material you plan to order.
Which Material Fits Your Project?
Choose Traditional when you want a paste-the-wall installation or are working with a professional installer. Choose Pre-Pasted when you want a lasting non-woven installation without purchasing separate paste. Choose Peel & Stick when you prefer a self-adhesive installation and your wall is very smooth, clean, dry, and fully cured.
All three materials perform best on smooth walls. Texture can show through any wallpaper and can reduce adhesive contact, especially for Peel & Stick. If your wall has orange peel, knockdown, or another texture, smooth it first and test a sample before ordering rolls.
Current Standard Formats and Prices
Standard wallpaper formats are an 8″ × 12″ sample, a 24″ × 24″ panel, a 24″ × 13′ roll, and a 24″ × 27′ roll. Panels are currently $45 in all three materials. Standard roll prices are Traditional $199 / $329, Pre-Pasted $229 / $349, and Peel & Stick $249 / $389 for the 13′ / 27′ sizes.
Prices and promotions can change, and specialty listings may differ. The selected product page and checkout are the final sources for current pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Peel & Stick in a bathroom?
We do not recommend Peel & Stick for full bathrooms or other high-humidity spaces. For a well-ventilated residential bathroom, Pre-Pasted is usually the easiest durable option on a smooth, properly primed wall. Traditional is also suitable with the correct wallpaper primer and paste. Commercial bathrooms should be specified through our Trade Program.
Will Traditional wallpaper remove cleanly?
Removal depends on wall condition, primer, paste, installation, and time on the wall. A proper wallpaper primer creates a release layer and can allow modern non-woven wallpaper to strip in sheets. Do not promise clean removal from an unprimed or unknown surface.
Do all three materials look identical?
No. The same design can vary in color, texture, and finish across different substrates. Traditional and Pre-Pasted are smoother and more paper-like; Peel & Stick has a matte, fabric-like feel. Order samples in the exact materials you are comparing.
How much wallpaper do I need?
Use our wallpaper calculator, then order the full project together with an allowance for pattern matching, trimming, installation mistakes, and spare material. Separate print runs are not guaranteed to color-match.
Can I install over existing wallpaper?
For the best adhesion and finish, remove existing wallpaper, repair and smooth the wall, apply the appropriate primer, and let the surface cure before installing new wallpaper.
How long do production and shipping take?
Current production estimates are typically 1–2 business days for samples and 24″ × 24″ panels, and 14–18 business days (about 2–4 weeks) for full rolls. Carrier transit begins after production. Shipping choices and prices are calculated at checkout, and expedited shipping does not shorten production. See the Help Center for current details.
