What is a wall sticker?
Wall stickers, which are also known as wall decals, wall tattoos, wall transfers or wall art are applied to a range of surfaces for decorative purposes.
Our wall stickers are made from very thin but highly adhesive matt vinyl or PVC material. The materials properties result in a finish that gives the impression that the design has been painted onto the wall itself.
What types of surfaces can a wall decal/ wall sticker be applied to?
Our stickers can easily be applied to just about any clean, smooth and weather-resistant surface that is free of dust, grease or other contaminates.
Our Decals have been tested on flat, smooth wall surfaces such as :
- Cement walls
- Glass & Mirror surfaces
- Metal Surfaces
- Smooth Wooden surfaces eg doors, MDF blockboard
- Fridges
- Bathroom tiles
- toilet seat/cistern surfaces
rough or textured walls/surfaces may not allow adequate contact for full adhesion to the surface.
These products are not designed for rough uneven surfaces
What if my walls are too textured?
If you have heavily-textured walls, you can get creative on how else to display the wall sticker. For example, you can apply them on a flat, smooth surface such as a MDF board, glass, tiles ,metal or a mirror surface in the room
Will the wall stickers damage my wall?
When walls have been prepared as recommended and properly maintained after application, most people have no wall damage when wall stickers are removed. In the rare case that you experience difficulty during removal, use a blow dryer on a low heat setting to warm/soften the adhesive. As the decal’s adhesive warms gently lift the edges and remove slowly.
Can I apply a wall decal to a newly painted wall?
We recommend that freshly painted walls should be allowed to cure for at least two weeks before you apply your wall decals. Although the wall is dry to the touch, a chemical reaction referred to as off gassing is taking place and can possibly affect the adhesion of the decal.
Do wall stickers go bad / expire?
Wall decals can be stored for several months depending on storage conditions. We strongly recommend that you apply your statements relatively soon upon arrival for the best results. This is especially true for vinyl decals that are installed using a transfer tape that resembles masking tape. If the decal is not installed for a very long period of time, the adhesive of the transfer layer may begin to cure and not release from the decal as easily.
The decal appears to be peeling off, what can I do?
Due to the nature of some paints – in the rare cases that we have come across we have been able to make the stickers adhere to the wall surface by use an extra glue in the form of glue stick (most commonly found in office supplies ,bookshops and supermarkets here in Kenya) to ensure that the PVC sticker remains adhered to the wall
How long will my wall sticker last?
Our wall statements are not intended for permanent application; however, they can last for months or years depending on the surface and environment. Wall statements applied indoors can last significantly longer than wall statements applied outdoors where they are exposed to weather.
Do you install wall stickers for clients in their homes / offices?
We do as much as we can to make our products user friendly, however not all customers feel adequately able to do a self install
please note we have 2 types of wall wall stickers – vinyl & PVC which are both installed in different ways
For further help on how to install a sticker please refer to the installation video for vinyl wall stickers
Can i clean my wall stickers?
Our wall stickers can be wiped clean using a baby wipe or lightly damp cloth. However we do not recommend aggressive rubbing or the use of cleaning chemicals, as this may cause damage.
