This article doesn\u2019t select specific media for you. I want to give you some tips on how to properly test a wall for media compatibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identifying the Surface Type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-none wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Brick:\u00a0<\/strong>Brick walls have mortar lines which vary in depth from job to job.<\/li><li><strong>Block:\u00a0<\/strong>While block walls generally have shallow mortar lines, the surface of the blocks can be very textured.<\/li><li><strong>Concrete:<\/strong>\u00a0Concrete walls will need to be sealed and if they are painted, the paint must be tested for both paint adhesion to the wall and vinyl adhesive compatibility.<\/li><li><strong>Stucco:\u00a0<\/strong>Stucco walls have perhaps the most difficult textured surfaces for vinyl to adhere to.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Service Life of a Wall Wrap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important factor in choosing wall graphic media is service life. Do we want to put a laminate on this graphic? If you do use a substrate laminate, you\u2019re going to get less definition in deep contours. However, you will protect the image from things like wear and tear and UV. If you do use a liquid laminate, roll it about half an inch past the edge of the graphic. This will stabilize the vinyl, lowering the chances of shrinkage. When you have determined the surface details and the expected service life of the graphic, it\u2019s time to choose the correct media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the surface is an aggregate, like brick cinder block or concrete, it\u2019s important to\u00a0take note of things like the severity of the contour. Has the wall been sealed or\u00a0primed? Many types of exterior paint are chemically resistant; it\u2019s really\u00a0important to test the media you want to use to be sure that the adhesive on that\u00a0media is compatible with the paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testing the Surface<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First run your hand over the wall to check for any loose particles such as dust. If you feel loose grit of any kind it is important to remove it dry. We suggest a sturdy hand with a coarse broom followed by a tack cloth or lightly dampened towel. You need to remove any loose aggregate or dirt but you don\u2019t want to get the wall wet. Aggregate surfaces like concrete, blocks or bricks can take days to dry out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, dry cleaning a wall just isn\u2019t enough. Some walls found in public areas like\u00a0subways need to be power washed. If you\u2019re going to power wash a wall, make\u00a0absolutely sure that it is completely dried before you try to do the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing for Media Compatibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not sure of which media you should use, always test all of your options side by side to see which one performs the best. A-4 sized samples are perfectly sized for this test. Begin by peeling the liner halfway. Many wall products have exceptionally tacky adhesives so removing all of the liner at once can make the test much more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smooth the vinyl out with your hands making contact with only the high points of the texture.\u00a0Use a roller to secure the edge before using heat. Unsecured edges will immediately shrink when heat is added.\u00a0Start applying heat in the center of the sample and roll from the center out to the edges following closely behind the heat gun. Apply slightly more heat and pressure in the mortar lines.\u00a0Repeat the steps with each of media you choose for your side by side test.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wall-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wall-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wall-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wall-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wall-1.png 1104w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Mark each sample carefully for future reference.\u00a0Allow for adhesives to set for a minimum of 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wall-2-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wall-2-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wall-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wall-2-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wall-2.png 1426w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Results of the Media Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we can see the result in the image above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sample #2 lifted in the corners, the most common place for a failure.&nbsp; Also, the edges are starting to roll back.&nbsp; The channels are lifting as well.&nbsp; The media is also shrinking.&nbsp; Sample #2 is not compatible with this wall texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sample #1 has perfect compatibility. The corners are firmly in place. The edges are staying down perfectly. There is no shrinkage along the sides. Every detail in the texture shows through perfectly. Sample #1 is the right film for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, test the adhesion value of the vinyl to the wall surface. Check how the adhesive has cured into the aggregate surface if there is one. Also observe how much tension is needed to remove the vinyl. Some small particles may come loose with the vinyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testing Vinyl on a Painted Wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, imagine this is a painted wall.\u00a0 We see that the vinyl\u2019s adhesion is compatible with the paint, but will the paint come with it upon removal. To test this, snap the vinyl off with a sharp yank. If it removes paint, make sure your customer is aware of the end result to be expected when the wrap is removed.\u00a0Conducting a test like this takes a little time and patience from both you and your customer. But finding a compatible product for your wall wrap is worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FEATURED PRODUCTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"795\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ArlonLogo-1Color-795x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4097 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ArlonLogo-1Color-795x1024.png 795w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ArlonLogo-1Color-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ArlonLogo-1Color-768x989.png 768w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ArlonLogo-1Color-1193x1536.png 1193w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ArlonLogo-1Color-1591x2048.png 1591w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">From interior flat walls to hard-to-stick surfaces like brick, stucco or concrete, transform your blank spaces into larger than life graphics.
