MagScapes created the world's first magnet-receptive wallcovering, and now manufactures and sells wallcoverings and magnets for a wide range of applications. We also work with interior designs and architects to create one-off applications.

How do magnetic walls work?

MS Lite and MS Plus Wallcovering
MagScapes wallcoverings have ferrous material embedded within the layers which makes it receptive to magnets, just like a fridge door, it cannot harm computers or pacemakers. A wall covered with MagScapes is like being in a room that has a steel cabinet or fridge door.

Are MagScapes wallcoverings safe?

Yes. MagScapes wallcoverings are completely safe - they will not harm children, pets, computers or pacemakers. They do not contain; lead, dangerous chemicals, pthalates, solvents, thinners or wetting agents. MagScapes vinyl wallcoverings have been tested to meet the strict European health and safety standards.

Magnets:

MagScapes sell low and high power magnets

Low power sheet magnets are safe for all applications including kids play and education applications.

The magnetic motifs have a base substrate made from standard sheet magnet used to create fridge magnets. It is rubber sheet that contains millions of microscopic iron particles that have been magnetized by an electro-magnetic field. Once magnetized, these iron particles hold their magnetic charge permanently. The magnetic material when cut to size and shape will hold its own weight on a vertical MagScapes product securely.

High power magnets are designed for adult applications and are not advised for young children.

These magnets are used for decorative or utility applications such as bulletin boards - and because of their pull strength are especially useful for holding notes, plans, charts and other items to a wall.

Warning! Magnets sticking together or becoming attached to a metallic object inside the human body can cause serious or fatal injury. Seek immediate medical help if magnets are swallowed or inhaled.

Where can I buy MagScapes?

From this website, in Habitat Stores from 2008 or by arranging a visit to our showroom in London.

How do I hang MagScapes wallcoverings?

MS Lite wallcoverings hang with ready mixed paste and are easy to handle. (click to download full hanging instructions)

MS Plus wallcoverings and liners also hang with a special PVA paste and are heavier to manage so we recommend they are hung by professional decorators. (click to download full hanging instructions)

Do MagScapes need special care?

The wallcoverings require no special care, simply keep clean using damp cloth. If using in areas of bright sunlight, regularly move magnets to avoid long-term discolouring of wallcovering.

Can I use any fridge magnets on MagScapes base?

Yes. Most fridge magnets will work on MS Plus liner or wallcoverings.

No. Most fridge magnets will not work on MS Lite wallcoverings.

Can I apply MagScapes to my ceiling?

No. MagScapes recommend that their wallcovering and magnets are used on vertical walls.

How does the MagScapes custom service work?

MagScapes can create any design of wallcovering or magnet as part of its custom orders. The wallcovering may include Ms Lite or MS Plus materials and have any design applied to it. Magnets may be designed to be any size, colour design or shape and covered with a wide range of tactile fabrics and finishes.
