The Environment

Staab Décor searches the world for the very latest, stylish wall coverings that not only meet stringent Australian and international building regulations, but are also created from materials that consider the environment.

Importantly, Staab wall coverings LAST..at least seven times longer than paint. That means additional emissions from constant re-painting are avoided.

What we are looking for in our products is:
1. No provable vinyl chloride.
2. Formaldehyde - levels far below the legally accepted level.
3. No pigments containing heavy metal.
4. No lead or cadmium as stabilisers in structured wallpapers.
5. No Chloroflourocarbons (CFC's).
6. No chlorinated solvents.
7. No easily volatile softeners (VOC).

As design guru Giorgio Armani is quoted as saying: The best way to make a contribution in fashion is to promote the idea that a fundamental interest in preserving the environment is itself fashionable.
