Our head office is located in Toowoomba, Australia. We have Distribution and Customer Service Centres situated in Austin, Texas and Manchester, UK.
When brainstorming names for the company, founders (and brothers) Richard and Bryce wanted something that sounded authentic, industry appropriate, and that had a deep personal connection. They came up with Milton & King. Which is simply the combination of their parent’s middle names. Nice one huh!
Yes!! With over 35 years in the contract furnishing market and specialising in producing custom furnishing textile solutions, with a particular focus in the hospitality and healthcare industries. It’s fair to say we know what we are doing.
We see the sustainability questions as being no longer just which fibre is used. The most extravagant act, in a sustainability sense, is to make a poor decision that requires premature replacement.
We also see a “whole of life” cycle needing to include product life, maintaining cost in both energy and dollars, environmental issues of production including use of pesticides, herbicides, dyes’ effects on waterways, etc.
This is not an equation that is easily balanced.
Often the question arises about the use of a non-renewable resource to produce fibres like polyester.
Some estimates put the quantity of natural gas & oil used in producing fibres, to be less than 1% – A tiny amount in the scheme of things – especially when weighted against many extravagant uses of such resources.
We have a minimum order of 5 metres on all fabric bases, except Erges and Sleeping Beauty which would be 10 metre minimum.
Topical flame retardant is where a chemical treatment is applied to a fabric. When that treatment is exposed to flame a gas is emitted and oxygen precluded, causing the flame to be extinguished. As this is a topical treatment it can be subject to deterioration over time, and also the emitted gas is usually fairly toxic. Inherent flame retardant is where the fibre itself contains the flame inhibitor. The latter is a more permanent for the life of the fabric and cannot wash or wear off.
Under the Australian Building Codes most public spaces are now required to have fabrics that comply with the flame retardancy requirements. Other suggested areas may include:
There are two well known test methods assessing the abrasion resistant of upholstery fabrics – Matindale and Wyzenbeek.
There is no best or worst – just appropriate and inappropriate. We have concentrated on polyester for the following reasons:
In sublimated printing, the ink actually “dyes” the fabric. The print is not just sitting on top of the fabric, as with other print processes. When the ink and fabric are heated, the pores of the synthetic fabric open and the ink turns into a gas, allowing it to enter the pores of the fabric. Once it cools the print is bonded and fused into the fabric. You cannot feel the print on the fabric and the final product is durable and machine washable.
There are many benefits. Because the fabric onto which we print can be as varied as robust waterproof upholstery, to a light reduction drapery, through to a fine sheer. In a word, CHOICE.
The dye sublimation process enables a more rapid response as we have the design or plain in stock – awaiting the choice of fabric.
Dye sublimation doesn’t adversely affect the performance of the fabric (flame retardant, waterproof finish, etc).
Not committing the stock design to fabric until required gives us lightness afoot to respond rapidly to demand. It reduces the stock holding costs which in turn keeps the price lower.
• . Dye sub print simply looks incredible compared to other print processes! The nature of sublimation makes colours pop and become extremely vibrant.
• Fabrics have a fluid and sophisticated appearance, which other medias can’t match.
• This process is versatile. What you see on our website are just some examples of what we can create!
• The print is as durable as the fabric itself, meaning it can’t be washed or scratched off, ever.
• Dye sub is a green process. Our inks are water based, as opposed to harsh solvent-based inks used in other printing processes. There are no harmful emissions in the sublimation process and printed fabrics do not need to be rinsed, so there is no consumption of water as with other textile dyeing processes.
Our rolls are considered DOUBLE rolls which means that each double roll is 30 feet long (a single roll is 15 feet long). If your project requires two double rolls, for example, just order two of our rolls. If you need two single rolls, order just one of our rolls.
Please don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected] with the wall dimensions (height and width) of each wall you’d like to cover with wallpaper and we can calculate how many wallpaper rolls you’ll need for you. It can be a bit complicated to figure out and more than happy to help! As a general rule of thumb, each wallpaper roll covers approximately 66 square feet once trim and pattern repeat are factored in, but this can vary depending on wall height and other factors. To make this process easier for you, Milton & King provides a wallpaper calculator on every product page. Simply enter your dimensions (height & width) and our calculator will provide you with the quantity of rolls you will need to order for your project.
We’ve even taken the design repeat into consideration when calculating how many rolls you will need.
It is very important to order the accurate number of rolls, as colours might vary between lots. We print in small lots and can’t guarantee a 100% colour match between each lot. If in doubt, it’s best to order an extra roll. If you end up not needing it, we are happy to accept returns of unopened rolls within 30 days. If you do end up needing to order more wallpaper from a certain lot number, please put that lot number into the “Special Instructions and Lot Number Request” box during checkout.
We offer samples for all of our wallpapers. Samples are standard size A4 (8.5″ x 11″). We highly recommend purchasing a sample first to check colours. While our wallpaper photography is colour matched to each product, colours can vary on different computer screens. Please note our samples are pre-cut and intended for colour matching purposes, so while they should contain all the colours of the pattern, they likely will not include full elements of the pattern, like all the flowers or a bird.
We offer free shipping of sample orders. Samples ship via USPS first class mail without tracking, unless expedited shipping is chosen at checkout. Please allow 2-7 business days for samples to arrive in the US and up to 14 days internationally. We do not offer returns or exchanges on samples.
Pattern repeat measures the design on your wallpaper. It is the vertical distance between one point in the pattern and where that identical point appears again. Pattern repeats can vary in size and are important to keep in mind when deciding how much wallpaper to order.
A seam in which the wallpaper strips meet exactly, edge to edge. The two edges of the wallpaper should be touching but not overlapping. All Milton & King wall coverings are finished as a butted join for easy installation. A seam roller is a tool that can be used to seal the wallpaper seams and help smooth any edges that have lifted. Do not roll the seams too aggressively or you will push out all the adhesive.
When using Paste-the-Wall wallpaper, the paste is applied directly to the wall before hanging each strip. This wallpaper is made with a special backing that does not expand when wet; therefore, it does not need to soak as in other application methods. Using Paste-the-Wall wallpaper could cut your hanging time in half. Since the wallpaper does not need to soak prior to hanging, it can be hung more easily and quickly. Also, you won’t need to set up a pasting table which can also save you some of the mess and clean up.
Yes you can. Milton & King wallpapers are protected with two coats of a specially formulated glaze, making the non-woven base and paper top layer very durable and easy to clean. Dirt, dust and other marks can be simply cleaned using a damp cloth with soapy water. Make sure you do not get the wallpaper too wet. It is best to have a dry cloth with you to wipe up the excess solution. Finish this washing process by rinsing the wallpaper with a lightly dampened cloth or sponge with water alone. Then immediately dry the wallpaper with a terry-cloth towel. Stains caused by grease and oil, ball point pen, felt tip markers, crayons etc, may be removed using a solvent cleaner like methylated spirits or acetone. Note: Please use caution when using these cleaners as Milton & King accept no responsibility for any loss or damage that may occur from their use or during cleaning.
Probably the biggest misconception is the belief that pattern repeat and pattern match are one and the same thing, it simply being a different word. This is not the case and it needs to be clearly appreciated that pattern repeat can be very different from pattern match. The purpose of the Pattern Match is to identify where, in relation to the other side of the wallpaper (across the width), the matching part of the design is. To help with this you will find our wallpapers are trimmed through the design for ease of matching on hanging. If the matching half of the design falls on the same horizontal plane as the other side, then it is a straight match. If, on the other hand, the matching part of the design falls somewhere between two match points, in relation to the other side of the sheet, then it is a drop match. The other type or match is a random match or free match. This is one in which the pattern matches no matter how adjoining strips are positioned. Stripes are a good example. Please note, patterns with a large pattern repeat or a drop match require additional wallpaper to account for wastage.
