We’ve moved!
Magnificent colorful sunsets and a 180 degree view of the desert horizon are just two of the inspiring features of our new production studio in Placitas, New Mexico. Located between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, Placitas is a historic Southwest village which was formed in 1745 by the San Antonio de Las Huertas Spanish land grant. The new workspace has more than twice the square footage of our previous, which means more room for your large and commercial projects.

New Products
We’ve been working hard all summer on perfecting our production methods, and now Submaterial is making the new Index series of wool felt and cork wall coverings available for order. The three varieties of Index are solid, color-blocked and dimensional. Each version is suitable for either residential or commercial environments, and consists of dense wool felt bonded to a cork composite backing. The wall coverings are manufactured in 6” H x 24” W “tiles” that are applied to the wall using wall covering adhesive.
The dense felts used to create these wall coverings are of the highest quality and have an A or B flame-spread rating. The treated cork composite backing similarly has a B flame-spread rating. The combination of wool felt and cork help to reduce harsh acoustics while adding a soft textile touch to walls.

A wide range of colors is available, and custom design is still an option since we’ll be producing each batch to order. Find more information in the New Products section of our website www.submaterial.com. We’d love to hear from you and discuss how our new wall covering can become part of your next project. Get in touch!
