What are Wall Decals, Wall Stickers and Clings?

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

You may be tired of the look of your room or your kids room. You can give it a new appearance and change the wall designs or the wallpaper of their rooms by using wall decals, wall stickers, or clings. You can also choose different wall decals for the rest of the rooms in your entire house.

Wall decals are simply a wall “stick on” that will easily come off. Rest assured, they are not like regular decals/stickers that are made to stick to anything forever and also leave a residue. Wall decals or wall stickers have a specially formulated adhesive that is not permanent and can be removed without damaging your wall or leaving a nasty gob of glue behind. Many wall decals are made of vinyl so they may be water resistant or water proof as well.

On the other hand, clings typically do not have any adhesive at all. They often attach by static cling. They stick best to glass surfaces such as windows or mirrors.

Wall decals are quickly replacing wallpaper because of the difficulty and labor involved in removing wallpaper. Some wallpaper seems impossible to remove and may permanently damage your walls often requiring expensive repair.

What Is So Fabulous About Wall Letters?

Are you wondering about wall letters? One of the most unique gifts you will come across this year is that of the wall decal. The idea of the wall decal is that a homeowner or apartment dweller can decorate his or her walls without the need for heavy maintenance. This is especially effective for children who enjoy decorating their walls and re-decorating within a short amount of time.

Wall letters, also known as wall lettering, is a particular style of wall decal. Decals are peel and stick materials that allow easy access and transfer. Though often associated with cars and other vehicles, decals are starting to become a popular item in home decoration. This is thanks to vinyl decals, which are water-free and waterproof and allow an easy peel off and stick on operation.

Parents have shifted to using wall decals in decorating their childrens rooms in the past years. Decals have also saved parents considerable time that would have otherwise been spent putting-up wall papers, getting the walls ready for painting, applying the paint, and etc. Wall letterings have also become fashionable. Young children are now more involved in redecorating because decals are safer, easier to apply, and less messy than paint. Older children can also do most of the redecorating themselves in just a few minutes.

You may be tired of the look of your room or your kids room. You can give it a new appearance and change the wall designs or the wallpaper of their rooms by using wall decals, wall stickers, or clings. You can also choose different wall decals for the rest of the rooms in your entire house.

Wall decals are made of vinyl with adhesive glue at the back of the designs for easy sticking to wall. The materials are especially chosen and combined together to create this kind of wall decal.
