On which surfaces can I apply my vinyl wall sticker?

You can apply your sticker on walls, doors, windows, also on timber floor, tables or mirrors, laptops, fridges - in fact pretty much any clean, smooth surface. The stickers are not suitable for wallpaper due to the fact that they would damage it on removal. Also, if your walls are rendered or porous the vinyl won’t stick properly.

Can I apply the stickers if my walls are freshly painted?

We advise that you wait at least 2 weeks before applying your wall sticker.

Can vinyl stickers damage the paint upon removal?

They usually don’t leave any marks and we know because we’ve tested them on our own walls. There may occasionally be some minor paint flecking that will require touch ups when the decals are peeled off but this only happens if the paint is old and in bad condition.

Can I apply my sticker in the bathroom?

Yes, just make sure the surface is dry and there is no humidity or steam at the time of application.

Can I apply the stickers on my own?

Yes, you can, with patience and accuracy for bigger designs. We suggest you position your sticker on the wall with some masking tape to make sure you are happy with the positioning and you can then start the process of peeling and sticking. Instructions on how to apply the vinyls can be found in the How to apply wall stickers section of the site, and you will also be sent a set with your purchase.

How long will my sticker last?

Glorious decals are made from matt vinyl, a semi permanent material that will last at least 5 years. Because it’s semi permanent it won’t leave any marks on removal. You may find it easier to use a hair dryer which softens the adhesive.

Can I request one of your stickers in a different size or colour?

No, due to a large number of designs we don’t order to bespoke colours or sizes. A lot of our designs however come in several colour and size options, so we hope you find what you are looking for.
