Collections:Second-Look recycled collections are available for the Versa, Cirqa and Plexus brands. The Versa recycled offering includes designs that are versatile and timeless. The Cirqa recycled collection spans the fashion gamut from classic to contemporary. Plexus offers recycled, value-oriented choices that have the essence of simplicity but with a subtle twist. Additional designs and colors are available from all three brands with a 500 yd minimum order. Green Benefits:Reclaiming wallcovering and recycling it into new designs diverts material from the landfill. Vinyl wallcovering, long valued for its durability and long life cycle, can be recycled multiple times – keeping it in use and out of landfills almost indefinitely. Using recycled material also reduces energy consumption in the manufacturing process. Second-Look is a low-VOC wallcovering that uses water-based inks, incorporates a mildew-inhibiting agent and is installed with water-based adhesives. All wallcoverings are free of mercury and cadmium. Second-Look supports LEED criteria by taking back used wallcovering and transforming it into post-consumer recycled, low-VOC wallcovering. Specifications:The Type II, 20-ounce commercial vinyl wallcovering measures 52”/54” wide. Second-Look is available with Permavent™, a unique microventing technology that literally allows the wallcovering to breathe and manage the mobile moisture in walls. Second-Look meets all specifications for Type II vinyl wallcovering. Cost:Second-Look recycled wallcovering is available at the same cost as LSI’s standard wallcovering. Its long-term, low-maintenance life cycle makes it an economical choice compared to paint and other wall finishes.
