An Introduction To Vinyl Wall Stickers



Here at the WHoArtNow studios we are constantly coming up with new ideas and products for your home and office spaces. At the moment we're doing some product testing on some interesting new forms of artwork just for you. Adding to our new range of framed prints, we're looking into adding a full range of Vinyl wall stickers, as well as metal and perspex stencil art.

So what exactly is a vinyl wall sticker? Well the name gives it away really, it's a sticker for your wall made from vinyl. The vinyl can be a single block colour, or printed on before being cut. You apply them to walls, windows, tiles, pretty much anything really.

The vinyl we're looking at using is of the highest quality. We will use two types of vinyl. For the block single colour stickers, we will use a 7 yr pre coloured vinyl. The 7 yr is how long the vinyl is guaranteed for if use outside. If you use it inside this should be much much higher as no UV will affect colour. For the printed stickers, we will be using a 4 yr matt vinyl. Again this figure is quoted for external use. Internal use should be much higher (10-15yrs) as we will be using the same UV resistant inks that we use to guarantee our canvas prints for 75yrs!

So what sort of art are we working on? All sorts, if you take a look through our ranges of canvas art, you'll see we have an eclectic taste in art. Initially we started with just stencil art styles, before looking into some pop art and cult styles. Floral will play a part, as well as an up and coming kids range.


Some people will be looking at these stickers wondering how hard they are to put up. Although they look complex, they are not as hard as you think. The vinyl stickers will be shipped with 'application paper' already in place, and we'll provide a 'squeegee' to apply it. We'll go into more detail about applying the stickers in a video when the range is launched, but fear not, as from our experimenting, we've found it relatively easy, and well worth it for the finished art.

We're still searching through supplies for the best vinyl at the best price to keep the price as low as we can. At the moment, WHoArtNow is finishing off the range which we hope to launch within the next 4 - 8 weeks.
