The Creator A British invention, Lincrusta was the brainchild of manufacturer Frederick Walton.

Frederick Walton was something of an inventor and entrepreneur. He had been associated for some years with the remarkably successful floor covering product, Staines Linoleum, when it occurred to him that the material was capable of development in another and totally distinct way. Instead of applying it to floors he would, with some variation in its manufacture, apply it to walls but with a modelled surface in relief instead of the printed coloured surfaces of floor covering.

Lincrusta is the ultimate wallcovering used in some of the most prestigious buildings and locations around the world since it was first invented in 1877. Lincrusta is unique in the home and commercial decorations markets - there's simply nothing quite like it for classical style and durability. Lincrusta is made today from natural materials in exactly the same way as 1877, even using the same designs and, in some cases, the original rollers. Lincrusta is a perfect solution for today's interior designers, specifiers and architects as it offers innovative solutions for any design application. Whether you're recreating traditional splendor or wanting to make a contemporary statement or even a fusion of both styles, Lincrusta can be used in any kind of interior design application.
