Wall Graphics - 5 Common Types Explained

11/18/2022

The world of wall graphics is vastly growing. We are seeing exponential growth in this industry every year, meaning wall graphic possibilities continue to adapt and evolve to our ever-changing society. You can make your creative ideas for office, retail, and personal space come to life. Let us guide you through some of the common wall graphic types and what they can do for you.

Standard Digitally Printed Wall Vinyl
	A standard, digitally printed wall vinyl is the most common wall graphic product we use. This works well for smooth, flat wall surfaces like drywall or sheetrock. The adhesive backing is "removable", which means when removed in the future, there will be little to no damage to the surface. We apply a matte or gloss overlaminate to create a protective layer that will keep dings and scratches to a minimum. It is extremely cost-effective and can be used for permanent or temporary graphics.
PVC-Free Wallpaper
	PVC-Free wallpaper has become more sought-after for retail and office spaces because it is environmentally friendly. If you are looking for a wall application that is responsibly sourced, odor-free, easy to install and remove, flame-retardant, then look no further than PVC-Free wallpaper. This material can last up to 20 years, away from direct sunlight. Because installation only requires water and removal only requires stripping, it is a smart choice for businesses that are swapping wall graphics on a regular basis.
Textured Wallcoverings
	The realm of textured wallcoverings is an interesting one! It comes in a variety of textured finishes, to name a few, leather, beads, plaster and suede. Most textured wallcoverings are made with post-consumer content and are LEED certified, making them ideal for educational and health facilities. They are also easy to clean, stain resistant, flame-retardant, and phthalate free. Create that eye-catching statement in your decor, while also being environmentally friendly.
Chalkboard Vinyl
	Chalkboard vinyl is a great use for menu boards, tables, meeting rooms, and POP displays. It can be digitally printed, and can be used with standard or liquid chalk. It typically lasts indoors for 4 to 5 years.
Foil-Based Vinyl
	Foil-based vinyl is another option for those who are looking for an eco-friendly application for walls and surfaces. This product is designed for use indoors and out. It is easy to install, very durable, and conforms without heat to rough or smooth wall surfaces including brick, concrete, stucco and cinder block. Because it is foil-based, it can be recycled when it is removed. It comes in a smooth or textured finish making it a go-to for non-slip floor graphics as well. Printed graphics on this media are crisp and vibrant and can still "pop" in areas with low lighting.
