Things to Check Before You Choose
- Wall surface: it should be dry, clean and smooth. Damp or flaking walls cause failures.
- Traffic: busy corridors and shop floors suit vinyl.
- Lighting: glare can hide a glossy surface.
- Size and seams: large walls are installed in panels, so plan where joins fall.
