What are Wall Decals, Wall Stickers and Clings?
Saturday, January 31st, 2009You 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.
