MicaWall is our line of artisanal, mineral-based decorative wall textures that bring depth, character, and durability to any space. Every product contains Mica, a naturally occurring mineral that creates a distinctive shimmer and dimensional effect—hence the name MicaWall. Our collections, including StoneFX, MetalFX, and GlowFX, give designers, contractors, and homeowners versatile options to transform walls & ceilings into unique works of art. This eco-friendly, chemical-free formula is safe for interiors and contributes to a healthier environment. Beyond aesthetics, MicaWall also delivers functional benefits such as thermal insulation, moisture regulation, and energy savings, making it both a design feature and a practical choice for modern spaces. -
MicaWall is crafted from a proprietary blend of cotton, silk, mica, and CNC (cellulose nanocrystals). This unique formula combines natural fibers with mineral shimmer to create durable, artisanal wall textures with striking visual depth. The blend is 100% natural and chemical-free, offering not only a beautiful finish but also eco-friendly benefits such as improved indoor air quality, thermal insulation, and moisture control. -
On average, one bag of MicaWall covers approximately 50 square feet when applied approximately 1/8" thick. Actual coverage may vary depending on the amount of water added during mixing and the application technique used.

MicaWall is designed to be low-maintenance thanks to its all-organic composition, which naturally provides anti-static properties that help it repel dust and debris. For routine cleaning, simply dust gently with a soft cloth, feather duster, or vacuum with a brush attachment. If needed, you can lightly wipe with a damp sponge or cloth—just avoid soaking the surface. Because MicaWall is made from natural fibers and minerals, it’s best to avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive scrubbing, as these may damage the finish. With simple care, your MicaWall surfaces will retain their texture, shimmer, and durability for years.

Because MicaWall can be re-hydrated with water, it’s easy to repair or remove compared to traditional wall coverings.
- Small Repairs or Deep Scratches:
For minor damage, you can often use the surrounding material to fill the affected area. Lightly mist the spot with a spray bottle, allow 30–60 seconds for the moisture to absorb, then smooth it over with our specialized Ghost Trowel. Since MicaWall is applied at about 1/8" thickness, there’s usually enough material to pull tighter and close up small imperfections seamlessly. - Full Removal:
For larger areas or complete removal, use a pressurized pump spray bottle to evenly wet the wall. After letting the water soak in, the surface can be scraped off. If it doesn’t come off easily, simply re-spray and let it absorb longer. Any small debris or minerals left behind can be wiped away with a wire dish cloth or sponge, leaving the wall ready for a fresh application or another finish.
This ability to be re-hydrated makes MicaWall not only versatile for design updates but also sustainable and repairable, minimizing waste compared to paint or wallpaper.

MicaWall is not fully waterproof, but it is naturally moisture-resistant thanks to its mineral and fiber composition. This means it can help regulate humidity by absorbing and releasing moisture, which contributes to a healthier indoor climate. However, MicaWall is not designed for direct water exposure (such as showers, saunas, or kitchen backsplashes). Because it isn’t waterproof, MicaWall is also easy to repair or remove—the surface can be re-hydrated with water, allowing for touch-ups or full replacement when needed.
