What Are Outdoor Wall Decals?

Outdoor wall decals, also known as outdoor wall stickers or outdoor wall graphics, are perfect for customizing storefronts, office buildings, schools and more. Unlike most outdoor wall graphics, ours are manufactured out of an aluminum foil base that’s both recyclable and PVC-free. Its superior adhesive and quality gives it a longer lifespan versus vinyl alternatives, as well as the ability to conform to virtually any unsmooth or uneven surface.

The aluminum base also boasts more vibrant colors, better visibility day and night, all while being abrasion and weather resistant. Best of all, no special tools are required for installation: it’s as easy as peeling and placing on any exterior wall!

Use them to advertise ongoing sales, to guide customers, brand walls for events, and more!

Outdoor wall decals should not be applied to painted or sealed surfaces. Both of these can result in problems during removal.


Foil-based Graphics vs. Vinyl Alternatives

Our foil-based outdoor wall graphics offer a number of advantages that make them an easy decision over vinyl products for outdoor use on the surfaces outlined above. These advantages include: superior durability, installation without having to use special tools, the ability to conform or be applied to uneven surfaces, easier and cleaner removal, and a more vibrantly printed design that appears as if it has been painted onto the end surface. We’re confident you’ll love your custom outdoor wall graphics!

Installation and Removal

Most outdoor wall decals require extensive cleaning and pressure washing of the surface prior to application. Because our graphics are foil-based, installation of your custom graphic is much easier. In most cases, simply spray down the wall or surface to ensure it is free of dirt and grime and you’ll be ready to apply it in the desired location. No heat gun. No sealers. Just press and stick. It’s that simple!

Best of all, when you’re ready to remove your graphics, they will come off clean, in one piece, leaving no residue or marks.

Installation

To properly install your outdoor wall decal the surface must first be prepared before application. The application surface where applied should be above freezing when first applied. For best results, apply your graphic when the surface temperature is above 50 F.

Please Note: For large decals intended to cover entire windows or large surfaces we recommend professional installation for best results.

Surface Preparation
  1. Clean the surface to ensure it is free of debris for proper adhesion. Your main goal is to remove any dirt or grime that may prevent adhesion. A hose or power washer is typically sufficient.
  2. Avoid applying your graphic over any foreign or loose substances or cracks/crevices that may negatively impact the graphic's ability to properly adhere.
  3. A mixture of 50/50 to 70/30 percent isopropyl alcohol (IPA) + water can be used for dirty surfaces where the adhesion could be difficult. After applying the solution, spray it with a hose and allow it to air dry. This step is rarely needed.
Applying the Decal

Once your surface is clean and completely dry, section by section, remove the brown paper back liner from the decal. Please note that the decal is not repositionable, so it’s important that you lay it precisely where you want it on the desired surface. Avoid crinkling your decal in any way before application

Lay the decal on the desired surface, pressing firmly from the center out to the edges, ensuring the material conforms to the surface beneath to maximize adhesion. For uneven surfaces it is best to apply the decal a little bit at a time to make sure it adheres (because the decal is not stretchy by nature).

To make installation easier, a hand roller (optional purchase) can be used to apply even pressure across the decal to ensure it sticks properly after pressing it to the surface with your hand.

Adhesion is instant and permanent once completely pressed. The adhesive material will take about 24 hours to completely set.

Note: We do not recommend applying to painted and/or sealed surfaces. Also, avoid cracks or crevices as they may prevent adhesion or leade to be unintentional punctures.


Care
To clean your graphic(s), lightly spray with water from a low pressure hose and wipe with a soft cloth; avoid harsh cleaning chemicals as they may damage or negatively affect the graphic. You may opt to use a pressure washer set at “Low” no closer than 36”. Using a power washer on too intense a setting or too close to the graphic may cause damage, especially near the edges.

Q:
What color will the unprinted material be?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

The unprinted material is a reflective, glossy white tone that reflects roughly triple the amount of light as a small LED flashlight. Should you select the Custom with Border shape option, a border of this unprinted, white material will surround the perimeter of your decal.

Q:
My graphics will primarily be used in dark or nighttime settings, will these be visible during such times or low-light conditions?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Our outdoor wall decals are easily visible at night, reflecting up to 130mcd, or roughly triple the brightness of a small LED flashlight. Of course, there has to be some kind of lighting to allow them to be visible but generally speaking they work well for nighttime conditions.

Q:
Are the outdoor wall decals for interior or exterior use? Are they weather resistant?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Our outdoor wall decals are rugged, enabling them to withstand inclement and harsh weather conditions for up to 5 years with proper care and maintenance. And, with our UV inks, they’re also highly resistant to fading, scratching and abrasions. The decals are rated to work in temperatures ranging from -40F to 302F assuming they are installed at the proper temperatures

Q:
Can the graphics be used on uneven surfaces?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Because our outdoor wall graphics are made of a malleable aluminum foil substrate, they are highly conformable to uneven surfaces including brick and stucco. While they do readily conform to any surface, it’s important not to place the decal over cracked surfaces or loose material, as doing so could lead to punctures or improper adhesion.

Q:
How long will my outdoor wall graphics last for?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
With proper care and maintenance, our outdoor wall decals can last up to 5 or more years with proper care and maintenance. While the graphic is applied, it will withstand inclement weather, abrasions and scratches.
Q:
Will there be a residue when I remove it? Will it ruin the surface where it was installed?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Once you’re ready to remove your outdoor wall decal, it will come off clean and easily without any special tools, leaving no residue on unsealed surfaces. It’s important to note that applying these decals to painted or sealed surfaces should be approached with caution, as some paints may be damaged or a residue may be left in these cases.

Q:
What surfaces are compatible with these decals?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Our outdoor wall decals will readily stick to cinder block, terrazzo, metal, vinyl, concrete, asphalt, brick, stucco, tile, and even glass. They can also be used on swimming pool and fountain floors, as long as the surface is dried when the graphic is applied and allowed to set for at least 24 hours, prior to refilling the body of water. While these graphics will have no trouble adhering to glass, we would recommend one of our many custom window or vehicle decals that are better suited for use on glass. Glass and polished masonry surfaces (think polished marble) can result in residual adhesive and are not the best surfaces for these decals.
Q:
If any, which surfaces are not suited for your outdoor wall decals?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The primary surfaces that should be avoided are painted or sealed ones. Adhering your decals to painted surfaces can cause damage to the surface paint when removed even if the paint is fully cured in some cases. Sealed surfaces should be avoided as the combination of the sealant and the strong adhesive property of the decal can make removal very difficult.
Q:
Are my custom outdoor wall decals reusable?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
No. Your outdoor wall decals are not reusable and will adhere aggressively once applied to a surface. It is critical not to crinkle or bend your decal before or during application. For best results, please follow the installation instructions below carefully.
Q:
What are the common uses of outdoor wall decals?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Outdoor wall decals have a wide range of uses including directional uses in factories, warehouses, and parking garages, branding of brick and mortar business locations, public transit stops and platforms, university campuses and other public spaces. They are also commonly used in home or personal applications in a variety of decorative ways on exterior walls.
