Outdoor Brick Wall Mural
Outdoor brick walls are boring and not often thought of as being an opportunity for large mural type signage. Painted wall murals are so cool, but way too difficult to manage. However, advanced vinyl printing technology allows for all of the same design possibilities of a painted mural, minus the hassle. Mural designs for exterior walls can be as simple or complex as you’d like.
At Foil Hair Salon, the side exterior of the building faces a busy road and is highly visible to people passing by. Foil wanted to use the wall space to make a statement to the community and provide customers with another wall to take photos of their finished hair. An outdoor wall mural was a great way to accomplish both these goals.
They decided on a drip paint look with the quote “Life Over Likes” as a way to get people’s attention as they drove by. The reaction has been a huge hit to say the least.
“We get people honking as they drive by and others ask to take pictures against the wall, it has been a huge success in getting people talking.” Said Ross Ruiz, one of the owners.
For the project we used an optically clear Vinyl for Brick Walls material that molds to brick when installed with heat. The finished result looks like the graphic was painted on the building rather than printed on vinyl. Murals for outdoor use have grown in popularity recently. Next time you’re walking around town take the chance to check out local businesses in your area for outdoor wall mural ideas. Wall murals for outdoor use grab people’s attention, advertise your business, and serve as great photo backdrops.
Printed vinyl for brick walls is gaining popularity now that it is so easy to produce and install. We recently completed a Brick Wrap Vinyl project for Krispy Kreme, and noticed retailers like Kiehls using Vinyl on Bricks also. If you don’t have brick walls, no worries! Vinyl wall wrap graphics will adhere to other types of walls and windows as well.

Frequently Asked Questions | Outdoor Brick Wall Mural
- How long do outdoor murals last?
Outdoor brick wall murals will last anywhere from 5-10 years. This will depend on the weather in your area and if there’s any protection for the mural. If your exterior mural is on a patio beneath a roof, for example, it’ll last a little longer. If you don’t have a brick wall but love that look, you might consider a brick effect vinyl wrap. A vinyl wrap simulates that beautiful brick look without the cost and time of installing actual brick. This process looks great on both interior and exterior walls.
- How much does an outdoor mural cost?
A lot less than having a mural professionally painted on your wall. Outdoor vinyl wall murals can cost thousands of dollars less than a hand-painted wall mural. The reason for this is because of the efficiency in the vinyl printing process. Outdoor vinyl wall murals and outdoor vinyl wall decals are also easier to maintain over time than traditional painted murals. If you ever need to touch-up your mural, 40 VISUALS can easily make it happen.
If you don’t want to put a mural directly on the wall, or can’t because you’re leasing your building, an outdoor wall mural poster is another great option. A poster will replicate an outdoor wall mural without making any lasting changes to the building.
