The wall reinvented - meet the Wonderwall stretch wall
A wall is the largest canvas in your interior. Yet, for decades, it’s been treated the same way: plastering, sanding, painting, waiting, and starting all over again five year later. At Kanvas, we believe there’s a better way. A more definitive way.
The Wonderwall collection isn’t just a wall finish. It’s a statement. Seamless, durable, and fully customized. Whether you want to banish echoes from a meeting room, transform a dark hallway into a wall of light, or simply stop painting once and for all. From Antwerp and Ghent to Kortrijk and Brussels: we bring Wonderwall to your space.
Why polyester and not PVC?
A large part of the stretch wall market still relies on PVC. We don’t. Not because it’s impossible, but because polyester is simply superior. And that’s a difference you’ll feel strongly after ten years as you did on day one.
- Dimensionally stable and tear-resistant: polyester never sags. While PVC becomes sensitive to temperature fluctuations over time and loses its tension, our fabric remains drum-tight - summer and winter, year after year.
- Odorless from day one: no “new plastic” smell that lingers for weeks. Our polyester fabrics are virtually odorless and breathable, making them the healthier choice for bedrooms, nurseries, and healthcare environments.
- Antistatic and low-maintenance: polyester doesn’t attract dust. A damp cloth is all you need for maintenance - no expensive cleaning agents, no hassle.
- Cold installation, ready instantly: we work without heat cannons. Installation takes place at room temperature, meaning no odor nuisance, and your furniture can stay exactly where it is.
- Fully recyclable: polyester is a material with a conscience. More sustainable than PVC and, at the end of its - admittedly very long - lifespan, fully recyclable.

Stretch walls vs traditional wallpaper or paint
Torn between a classic wall finish and a stretch wall? The comparison below speaks for itself.
- Preparation
- Traditional wallpaper/paint: walls must be plastered perfectly smooth and sanded.
- Wonderwall stretch wall: can be installed directly over raw brick, old wallpaper, or damaged walls.
- Installation
- Traditional wallpaper/paint: multiple days (drying, sanding, multiple coats). Dust and odor.
- Wonderwall stretch wall: usually installed in one day. No dust, no odor, no drying time.
- Seams
- Traditional wallpaper/paint: visible strips with wallpaper. Risk or cracks in plaster.
- Wonderwall stretch wall: completely seamless up to 5 meters wide (unlimited length).
- Maintenance
- Traditional wallpaper/paint: sensitive to scratches, stains, and sunlight fading.
- Wonderwall stretch wall: scratch-resistant, washable, and 100% colorfast (UV-resistant).
- Function
- Traditional wallpaper/paint: purely decorative.
- Wonderwall stretch wall: decorative + acoustic insulation + light integration possible.
- Lifespan
- Traditional wallpaper/paint: often needs refreshing or redoing after 5 to 7 years.
- Wonderwall stretch wall: lasts for decades without loss or shape or aesthetic degradation.
More than a beautiful wall - this is what makes Kanvas different
Any installer can stretch a fabric. What sets Kanvas apart is what remains possible afterward.
- Technology disappears, function remains: sockets, light switches, thermostats, TV mounts, multimedia connections: we integrate them all with surgical precision. No surface-mounted boxes, no visible edges. The wall remains the wall.
- Light as a design element: we are more than installers—we are lighting consultants. Subtle LED lines behind or around the Wonderwall create a floating effect or accentuate the fabric's texture in a way no fixture can match.
- Acoustics based on measurement, not guesswork: for acoustic projects, we can perform a basic acoustic measurement upon request. This allows us to determine exactly how much absorption material is needed behind the wall. Not too little, not too much, but just right.
- Profiles that last for decades: our profiles are designed for maximum grip and a minimal visible edge. Whether white or black, the tension on the fabric remains identical to the day of installation for years to come.
- Adaptable, now and later: our stretch walls are fully removable. Need to pull extra cables, expand home automation, or adjust technical systems? The fabric comes off and goes back on. No new wall, no dust, no color difference.

Frequently asked questions about our stretch walls
The price of a Wonderwall depends on the chosen variant (standard, acoustic, illuminated, or printed), the dimensions, and the complexity of the space. On average, a Wonderwall is a very competitive alternative to traditional plastering combined with high-quality painting—especially when you factor in functional added value like acoustics.

In almost any space imaginable: living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, dressing room, office, meeting room, shop, or healthcare facility. Thanks to the moisture-resistant and anti-fungal properties of polyester, this stretch wall is also the ideal solution for wet rooms.
Most stretch walls are installed within one working day. For larger or more complex projects, our project manager will always discuss the schedule with you in advance.
A Wonderwall from Kanvas is an investment for life. The polyester fabric is dimensionally stable, UV-resistant, and does not become porous. This ensures the wall stays drum-tight and colorfast for decades without ever needing to paint again.
Minimal. Our slim profiles take up only 1 to 3 centimeters. If extra acoustic insulation or lighting is integrated behind the wall, the build-up will be slightly deeper in consultation with you. The priority is ensuring everything is perfectly integrated.
Absolutely. Sockets, light switches, thermostats, and even TV mounts are integrated seamlessly and with millimeter precision into the wall. You see the technology, but you don't see the intervention.
Yes. All Wonderwall fabrics from Kanvas hold European fire certification class B-s, d0: flame-retardant with very limited smoke production. Suitable for homes as well as public buildings, offices, and healthcare institutions.
Polyester is a very robust material. Unlike a painted wall, you won't easily see scratches or scuffs from furniture leaning against it. The fabric is under high tension and is very tear-resistant.
Yes, our polyester fabrics are moisture-resistant and treated to be anti-fungal. They provide a beautiful, seamless alternative to tiles and immediately give your bathroom a warm, luxurious look.
The walls are antistatic, meaning they attract hardly any dust. If necessary, they can be easily cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and a non-aggressive cleaning agent.
A stretch wall can be installed over a raw or damaged wall without pre-treatment. Furthermore, it offers extra functions like acoustic insulation and the ability to integrate lighting, which is impossible with wallpaper.
Yes, our systems are removable. If you want to make adjustments to the underlying technology later, the fabric can be detached and then perfectly re-tensioned.
Certainly! We can produce razor-sharp custom prints. The only requirement is that the provided photo has a sufficiently high resolution.
We can install completely seamless pieces up to 5 meters in width or height. For larger surfaces, we use our invisible joining technique: two fabrics are held together in a single shared profile, without any height difference or shadowing.
Thanks to the flexibility of our system, we can follow any architectural shape. Chimneys, niches, slanted corners, or columns are bordered with our profiles with extreme precision. The result is a sleek, uninterrupted finish that accentuates the shape of your space.
