Anaglypta

Anaglypta is a range of paintable textured wallcoverings made from paper or vinyl. It is produced on traditional paper and paste-the-wall substrates. Anaglypta is similar to Lincrusta, except it is made of cheaper materials (Lincrusta is made from a gelled paste of linseed oil and wood flour). Because of this, Anaglypta is considerably lighter and more flexible than Lincrusta. However, it is less durable, especially since Lincrusta gets harder over time.
