Adhesive Vinyl

Adhesive vinyl is a type of smooth, low-gloss and semi-permanent wall vinyl with an adhesive backing. This wall media is a short- to medium-term wall covering solution and is available in both high-tack and low-tack options. “Tack” refers to the strength of the bond the adhesive has between the wall and printed media. Low-tack is more suitable for shorter-term applications while high-tack is better for medium-term applications. Both media options are removable without leaving behind any residue.

DreamScape Vinyl

DreamScape vinyl wall coverings are a type II commercial wallpaper media with more than 30 different textures and special effects options. Type II wall coverings are thicker and more durable than your standard residential wallpaper and hold up better in higher-traffic areas. DreamScape offers both adhesive-backed wallpaper that can be repositioned, as well as wallpaper that requires wallpaper paste to install. The entire DreamScape line is formulated without lead, cadmium, or phthalates and exceeds US, Canadian and European flame and smoke requirements. All textures are also resistant to mildew and fungus, so they are a great choice for high-humidity environments like bathrooms, kitchens and aquatic spaces.

MotoMark

MotoMark is a heavier-duty vinyl with an adhesive backing, best used for outdoor walls with a smooth surface. This film has a unique high-bond solvent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive that makes this a permanent solution for walls.

Rough Textured Brick Wrap

Rough-textured vinyl brick wrap, also known as a rough wrap, is a long-term adhesive-backed vinyl specially designed to adhere to rough-textured surfaces, including brick walls, cinder block walls and sealed smooth concrete. While commonly used outdoors due to its UV protection and weather-resistant qualities, it is versatile enough to be used both indoors and outdoors. What sets vinyl brick wrap apart is its ability to showcase the authentic texture of rough bricks, providing a painted-on effect.

Each of these wall covering options have laminate or topcoat options available for additional protection and resistance from scratches, dirt and moisture.

Choosing the right wall covering media is crucial for achieving the desired aesthetic and functionality in your space. Adhesive vinyl offers versatility with options for high-tack and low-tack adhesive, providing short- to medium-term solutions that are easily removable. DreamScape vinyl wall coverings, on the other hand, provide a wide range of textures and effects, making them ideal for commercial spaces with higher traffic. MotoMark is a heavier-duty vinyl suitable for outdoor walls with a smooth surface, offering a permanent solution. Finally, rough textured brick wrap adds a unique touch by replicating the texture of rough bricks, giving walls a painted-on appearance. Consider the durability, texture of the wall, duration and indoor/outdoor placement when selecting the perfect wall covering media for your project.
