LINCRUSTA Making a lasting impression since 1940

With its rich and illustrious heritage Lincrusta is a great British success story. This distinctive textural wallcovering with its incomparable range of wallcoverings, dado panels, friezes and borders is perfect for bringing timeless style to a refurbishment or renovation project.

This sculptural wallcovering was the ingenious creation of Frederick Walton who had pioneered the development of linoleum floor coverings during the 1860’s. Lincrusta was an instant success, replacing painstaking artisan plasterwork and appealing to Victorian England’s tastes because of its beauty, practicality, durability and sanitary properties. Lincrusta designs quickly found their way into notable buildings throughout the world. Absolutely unique and exceptionally beautiful, these wallcoverings remain unsurpassed for their deeper emboss, exquisite detail and enduring strength.

A natural product, made from linseed oil, Lincrusta is still manufactured by craftsmen in the UK following the original process and to the same exacting standards.

It is supplied in its natural nude colour, providing a textural blank canvas onto which can be decorated to enhance the period features of the property, or given a more updated feel depending on colour choices and effects. The end result will always be a truly unique look.

The patterns within the collection take inspiration from a variety of sources: from the classical architecture of ancient Greece and Rome to cutting edge contemporary influences, including the beauty of nature and key periods in history from the Renaissance to the Edwardian era.

Restoration

When renovating properties of a certain period only the original will do. Due to Lincrusta’s history there are patterns within the range that suit all eras. However, with over 140 years history, not all Lincrusta designs are still available. In cases where an older design is needed to replace a damaged section of wall, thus avoiding destroying the original Lincrusta feature, the company have developed restoration kits. Trained restorers take an impression of the original design, that is in need of repair and replicate it in other areas with a seamless finish.

Lincrusta has a network of trained installers and runs training courses across the country.

Sustainable by nature

Sustainability doesn’t just mean how it is made (and there is no doubting Lincrusta has some good credentials) but how it is used.

When decorating today we are conscious of the 3 Rs - Repairable, Re-usable, Re-modellable.

In a world of the 3 Rs - this is a product to cherish that becomes part of the fabric of the building. The beauty is that whenever you want to transform your room, you can change the colour or indeed create a whole different ambiance by adding different paint effects, that reflect the light in a unique way.

With Lincrusta wallcoverings the only limits are your imagination!
