Mylar is a polyester film joined with a very thin metal sheet like aluminum. It is quite durable and is not easily torn. The paper weave is a very common kind of wall covering found in Japan which is like real grasscloth. This weave is actually made of thinly cut strips of paper which were twisted and spun into yarn which looks like grasscloth. However, this kind of weave is not recommended for high moisture areas. A wallpaper made of hemp does not have a soft structure like a grasscloth but has a finer weave. The hemp fibers are then attached to the a paper backing to create a good product. Its unique beauty comes from the irregularities of its color and pattern. when using this wall covering, be sure that the seams don’t show.
