CFFA minimum requirements are listed in the above
table, with the exception of the number shown in
parenthesis. The measurements in parenthesis
reflect what is currently used in the industry for
Type I. The heavier weight provides a more durable
product.
The following formulas can be used for English to
metric conversions:
a. Ounces per square yard to ounces per linear yard-
Multiply # ounces per square yard by
1872 for 52 inches wide or 1908 for 53 inches wide
or 1944 for 54 inches wide. Divide the total by
1296 to obtain per linear yard.
b. Ounces per square yard to grams per square meter-
Divide the # ounces per square yard by 144.
Multiple total by 4882 to obtain grams per square
meter measurement.
c. Ounces per linear yard to grams per linear meter-
Multiply # ounces per linear yard by 28.35.
Multiply total by 1.0936 to obtain grams per linear
meter measurement.
Polyvinyl-fluoride (PVF) film is an extra cost. The
film is designed to provide additional resistance to
staining and soiling from exposure to staining
reagents or chemicals, and resistance from abuse.
Generally the PVF coated vinyl wallcoverings have a
slightly different appearance from the standard
noncoated vinyl wallcovering. The film is available
in 3 thicknesses with the thin gauge material being
much less expensive. Various thicknesses represent
moderate (thinnest), heavy, and extreme wear
(thicker) in the installation area. Consider PVF
film top coating for heavy-use areas; such as
dormitories, dining halls, cafeterias, medical
facilities, and clubs.
Delete PVF film when not required.
