Sherwin Williams Wallpaper

Sherwin Williams Biography
Sherwin was born on September 27, 1842, in Baltimore, Vermont, and stayed in school until he was 15 years of age. His first job was in a local general store.[1] In 1860, an uncle invited Henry to Cleveland, Ohio. He soon found employment with Freeman & Kellogg Co., a Cleveland dry goods store. Starting out as a clerk, two years later Sherwin had been promoted to bookkeeper. The young bookkeeper next moved to a wholesale grocery company by the name of Geo. Sprague & Co, where he became a partner, but soon left, apparently because he disliked the selling of liquor.
By 1866, Sherwin had saved $2,000. He was offered employment with a bank, a partnership with a wholesale drug company, and a partnership in a wholesale paint business.[2] Choosing the later, Sherwin became the newest partner in the Truman Dunham & Co. He stated years later, that Truman Dunham offered the least but "was the one which in my youthful strength and ambition gave promise of a future greater than the others". He also admitted that at the time he "did not realize what it would lead to". By 1869, Sherwin discovered that his partners were more interested in the manufacture of linseed oil than in the production of paint.
In February 1870, they dissolved the existing partnership and Sherwin, with an associate by the name of Osborn (who had been bookkeeper at Dunham & Co.) and Edward Williams, a Civil War veteran who was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Western Reserve College, each invested $15,000 for equal shares in what became "Sherwin Williams & Co". Later that year they recruited and hired Sereno Peck Fenn as cashier and bookkeeper. The company prospered and in its first year reported sales of $422,390.97.[2] In 2009, the company reported a decline in sales from the previous year, but ended up with $4.21 billion.
Sherwin was the President of Sherwin–Williams from 1870 to 1909, and chairman of the board until his death on June 26, 1916.[2] He was buried in Lakeview Cemetery, Cleveland, Ohio.[3]

Textured Wallpaper

Textured Wallpaper Definition
A measure of the variation of the intensity of a surface, quantifying properties such as smoothness, coarseness and regularity.  It's often used as a {region descriptor} in {image analysis} and {computer vision}. The three principal approaches used to describe texture are statistical, structural and spectral.  Statistical techniques characterise texture by the statistical properties of the grey levels of the points comprising a surface.  Typically, these properties are computed from the grey level {histogram} or grey level {cooccurrence matrix} of the surface. Structural techniques characterise texture as being composed of simple primitives called "texels" (texture elements), that are regularly arranged on a surface according to some rules. These rules are formally defined by {grammar}s of various types. Spectral techiques are based on properties of the Fourier spectrum and describe global periodicity of the grey levels of a surface by identifying high energy peaks in the spectrum.

Anaglypta

Anaglypta Definition
Lincrusta was invented in 1877 by Frederick Walton. It became an instant success because it was the first washable wallcovering and appealed to the Victorians because of its sanitary properties as well as its durability and ornate effects. Originally made on a linen backing, it was however, quite rigid. Because of this, an employee by the name of Thomas J Palmer invented a similar product which, being made from wood pulp and cotton, was lighter and more flexible. This was to become Anaglypta (from the Greek words 'Ana' (meaning raised) and 'Glypta' (meaning Cameo).
Seeing this as a threat to Lincrusta, Walton decided not to progress it, so Palmer patented the product, parted from Walton, moved to Lancaster and began production of Anaglypta in partnership with Storey Bros in 1887.
Anaglypta and Lincrusta came together again in 1931, when they were merged to form the Relief Decorations branch of Wallpaper Manufacturers (WPM) and manufactured in Darwen, Lancashire. After a period of stability, Relief Decorations was sold to Reed International in the 1960s and with considerable investment the first duplex product made entirely of wood pulp was launched - this is now marketed as Anaglypta Original.
Anaglypta, now a brand owned by CWV Limited, consists of a quality range of vinyl and paper paintable textured wallcoverings, produced on traditional paper and 'easy to hang' paste-the-wall substrates.

Grasscloth Wallpaper

Grasscloth Wallpaper Definition
Grasscloth wallcovering is an environmentally friendly way to add natural texture and beauty to your walls. Made from several Asian grasses, and fibers, grasscloth is relatively easy to apply. Because many grasscloth varieties hide the holes left by thumbtacks, and picture hooks, it is often used in commercial, as well as, residential, settings.

Today almost all wallpaper is sold in double roll bolts.  While many companies price by the single roll they only sell by the double roll.  A double roll of grasscloth is 72 sq ft (36 inches wide by 24 feet long).

Vinyl Wallpaper

Vinyl Wallpaper History

Asbestos Added to Vinyl Wallpaper to Improve Strength

Wallpaper was a very popular and cost effective way to decorate homes and offices for decades. The paper came in a large variety of colors, patterns and designs, which helped give it a very wide spread appeal. It was easy to install, so millions of Americans hung this decorative wall covering on their own.

Vinyl is a tough but flexible material that was often used to make long lasting wallpaper. To help make the finished product even stronger, a mineral was added to the vinyl that was both tough and pliable. This mineral was asbestos, and it was found to be so beneficial that manufacturers included it in thousands of products over the years. In addition to its strength, asbestos was also able to endure extremely high temperatures and was even a natural fire retardant. This made it even more appealing for goods such as wallpaper. The possibility that the wall covering could help protect a home made it that much more appealing. Vinyl Wallpaper was soon being installed all across the nation.

Risks of Handling Vinyl Wallpaper

Unfortunately, every person who helped put up this wallpaper or who spent time in locations where it was in use was put in danger. People were not aware there was a threat at the time, but by the 1970's research began to uncover that asbestos is a poisonous substance. It is made up of tiny fibers, which can easily break apart and float in the air. Their extremely small size makes them invisible to the human eye, so they may be inhaled unintentionally at any time. This was especially common while the paper was being glued to walls, but could also happen anytime the Vinyl Wallpaper ripped, was cut or was torn down. People exposed to asbestos fibers may be at risk for developing mesothelioma. This disease frequently has a poor prognosis making the life expectancy for mesothelioma victims short. Both men and women can be diagnosed with mesothelioma and both share similar survival rate statistics. The primary risk factor for mesothelioma is asbestos exposure but smoking can increase the chances of developing the disease if asbestos exposure occurred. Our mesothelioma resources section provides other information sources on this topic.

Vinyl Wallpaper Still in Some Older Buildings

There may still be buildings that are decorated with Vinyl Wallpaper that was made with asbestos. As long as the paper is in good condition, it poses no threat, but over time, the paper may start to deteriorate, and toxic fibers can be released. Only a certified professional should take down this paper and dispose of it. They are trained in how to handle this procedure properly and in a way that is safe and environmentally friendly. If you discover this or any other contaminated objects in your home or office, rely on their services to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

These days no products contain asbestos. Use of the mineral was officially banned by the Environmental Protection Agency years ago. Regrettably, many manufacturers continued to utilize it even after they learned of the risk. To make the situation even worse, they did not notify the employees who created these goods. Had that been done, they could have worn protective gear while on the job. Instead, they were given no opportunity to take precautions, and many were infected as a result.
