SGTF Partners with Roos International - Saint-Gobain Technical Fabrics

(Grand Island, NY) – Saint-Gobain Technical Fabrics (SGTF), a global leader in the manufacture of glass textile wall coverings as well as a broad line of reinforcement materials for exterior and interior residential and commercial construction, is pleased to announce Roos International as the exclusive distributor of SGTF’s Novelio® Paintable Wall Covering in the United States and Canada.

Novelio products are easy to apply and ready to paint professional wallcoverings that lend a touch of elegance to any interior. Novelio is very durable and provides additional benefits by being mold-resistant, hygienic and fire-proof. The Novelio collection of wallcoverings is available in a large variety of standard and custom designs.

Roos International is one of the original pioneers of glass textile wallcovering in North America, beginning in 1986 and since that time, has become the leading authority in the industry. As a company that is setting new standards in wall covering for a healthier building environment, Novelio is a perfect addition to Roos’ product line. In fact, Novelio is an environmentally friendly product with a Class 1 Oeko-Tex Standard 100, which certifies the absence of environmentally harmful substances such as heavy metals and carcinogenic dyes.

“As the leading manufacturer of glass textile wall coverings in Europe, we were searching for a distribution partner with the right experience and industry relationships. Roos International gives us all that, and more. We’re ecstatic to have them onboard,” says Peter Donnelly, SGTF’s Brand Manager.

“There is a real need in this market for a commercial wallcovering with the durability of glass combined with sustainability attributes. Novelio offers the best of both and we look forward to introducing it into the marketplace,” Dich Roos, co-owner of Roos International, added.
