For all practical purposes, Type 2 is the thickest and most durable type of wallcovering on the market. It is used in medium to high trafficked commercial spaces like lobbies, hallways, conference rooms, guest rooms, senior living facilities and universities. It is the most fade, scratch and tear resistant vinyl on the market and can last for years. Type 2, 20-oz vinyl, is specifically made to withstand a large amount of wear and tear each day and still hold up.
