Versa Wallcovering has developed VersaGuard™, a new flexible wall protection that is more durable than Type II wallcovering and more affordable than rigid panels.  The heavy duty construction and durable top film make walls practically wearproof.  Engineered to perform in high-traffic corporate, healthcare and educational environments, VersaGuard shields walls from the repeated impact of rolling traffic such as desk chairs, carts, and gurneys. Additionally, the wall protection resists soiling and tough stains such as mustard, ink and iodine. If needed, it can be cleaned with harsh agents such as bleach or rubbing alcohol to maintain a new-looking surface. 

VersaGuard is made with award-winning Second-Look® Recycled Technology and contains 20% recycled content including a minimum of 10% post-consumer.  The wall protection is low-VOC and meets California 01350 for low-emitting materials.  VersaGuard has a long life cycle even in extreme applications and will project a clean, attractive appearance for years. 

“VersaGuard is a new solution for specifiers looking for a durable, cleanable and affordable wall surface,” said Beth Rich, Versa Marketing Director.  “Options were previously limited as Type II did not always perform against heavy wall abuse and tough stains.  And rigid panels are costly, only available in 4’x8’ sheets, and are not aesthetically pleasing.”  

VersaGuard is available in 12 colors of Panama Linen, a top-selling Versa design that projects a realistic linen appearance.  The wide color palette suits applications in corporate, healthcare, education, hospitality and more.  Custom designs also are available.
