Abstract
The present invention is directed to a releasable wall covering and a method of producing the same. The wall covering comprises a reinforcing backing layer with a surfacing layer formed of a polymer coating overlying a front surface of the backing layer. A layer of printing is applied to the surfacing layer with a transparent top coating overlying the printing layer. A pressure sensitive adhesive layer formed of tacky polymeric microspheres is present on the rear surface of the backing layer so as to allow the wall covering to be repositionable upon installation and releasable after an extended time.
