Notice
Discolouration of wall surfaces
Most heating appliances generate warm air convection currents and
transfer heat to any wall surface against which they are situated.
Some soft furnishings (such as blown vinyl wallpapers) may not be
suitable for use where they are subject to temperatures above normal
room levels and the manufacturer's advice should be sought before
using this type of wall covering adjacent to any heating appliance.
The likelihood of wall staining from convected air currents will be
increased in environments where high levels of tobacco smoke or other
contaminants exist.
