About Panespol Surface Lovers

Panespol® is the world's leading producer of wall and surface coverings made from patented formulas for synthetic polymers. This wide and rapidly-growing range of products is aimed at designers, decorators, and architects in search of stylish, attractive solutions that can be easily mounted. The looks we have designed range from classic stone and brick imitations to panels imitating textile finishes, and even a completely natural line: panels made of real moss from Nordic forests. The company's offices and factory are located in the Spanish industrial town of Alcoy (Alicante province). Panespol® dates from the year 2000 and has built up its business from early successes in the DIY market to its current position supplying the contract design and retail sectors, where it has become one of the key providers for the interiors of brands such as Burger King, Inditex, Salomon, Marks and Spencer, The Body Shop, Next, Harrods, Ikea, and many more. The basis of Panespol's® product idea dates back to its founder and current managing director's realisation that decorative wall coverings made in plaster and other heavy and fragile materials could be greatly improved and offer more features if they were manufactured using polymers. This option, which requires no building work and is light to transport, as well as being clean and non-toxic, is also more cost-effective than traditional wall-covering materials thanks to the considerable saving involved in their application. Over the initial two-year period of research and development, Panespol's® managing director, Juan José Leva Candela (born Alcoy, 1964), developed a polyurethane that was far stronger than normal for such a light material, and this is just one of the many formulas patented by Panespol®. This early development period also bore fruit in the form of the best formulas to meet both combustion testing for materials and standards to guarantee absolute non-toxicity for specific uses.
