We've got walls in the kitchen with a not so smooth surface. An ideal
way of covering it would be what we call in French "toile de verre", a
kind of thick and tough possibly embossed wall paper, solid, durable,
fire proof, that you can paint over, that would hide the defects and
provide with a convenient washable surface.
So, my question is: how is it called in English? And can it be found in
Edinburgh DIY or wall covering stores?

Gray's of George Street. According to news:ed.general they sell
*everything* that other shops don't :-)
