What fire class do I need?
In the public areas of a commercial building, wall linings must meet the National Construction Code. The Code sorts linings into Groups, with Group 1 the best performer, and a Group is determined by the Australian test AS 5637.1. Which Group a wall needs depends on the class of building, where in the building the wall is and whether it has sprinklers. Your building surveyor decides it.
A European class (EN 13501-1) or an American class (ASTM E84) is a different test, so it does not give a Group by itself. Whether it satisfies your surveyor is the surveyor's call. If you need a test report, send us the design and the Group your surveyor requires, and we will ask the maker for the report.
What each maker states
| Maker | Sold by | Fire class the maker states |
|---|---|---|
| Sandberg | Square metre | EN 13501-1 class B-s1, d0 minimum. 10 designs also state ASTM E84 Class A |

| Emma Hayes | Square metre | ASTM E84 Class A. Canopy, Celestial and Solar also state Euroclass B-s1, d0 and NZ Group 1-S. Petals Pressed, River and Tidal also state European class B to EN 13501-1 |
| Catherine Martin | Roll | ASTM E84 Class A. La Palma and Monkey Business also state AS 5637.1 Group 1 |
| Arte | Roll | EU class B-s2, d0 and US class A |
| Romo | Roll | Euroclass B-s1, d0 on 12 designs and B-s2, d0 on one, with ASTM E84 Class A |

Where each maker publishes its fire class
These are the makers' own pages and certificates, so you can check a class at the source or pass it to your surveyor.
- Sandberg: the fire class is in Sandberg's FAQ.
- Rebel Walls: fire certificates, including European, American and Australian AS 5637.1 certificates.
- Catherine Martin: AS 5637.1 certificates for La Palma and Monkey Business.
- Arte: certificates are linked from each design page, for example Musa.

Questions we are asked about commercial wallpaper
Is there fire-rated wallpaper in Australia?
Yes. Every maker above states a fire class on most of its designs. Two designs, La Palma and Monkey Business, state an Australian AS 5637.1 Group 1 result on their product pages, and Rebel Walls publishes an AS 5637.1 certificate. The rest state a European or American class.
What makes a wallpaper commercial grade?
There is no single definition, so we pass on what each maker publishes: the surface, the weight, how it can be cleaned and the fire class. The product page shows these wherever the maker has given them.
Can commercial wallpaper go in a bathroom or commercial kitchen?
Sandberg states that its Commercial Vinyl suits all areas except those with high humidity, such as bathrooms. For a room with steam or splashing, tell us the room and we will check the maker's guidance for that design.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery in Australia is 3 weeks and express is 10 business days. Emma Hayes designs are printed to order and take 4 to 6 weeks.
Do you supply a fire certificate?
We ask the maker for the test report for your design and send it to you with the quote.
Is there a minimum order for trade customers?
No. It can be a single feature wall or a whole building.
