Wall & Window Vinyl

Flexible and durable, vinyl is a popular product in the sign industry. You will find self-adhesive vinyl on windows, walls, vehicles, directories, and even brick! Vinyl can be a more economical alternative for your project, and the lead times are generally shorter, making it a great option for temporary signage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wall finish is needed for vinyl graphics?
  • For most vinyl wall graphics, a semi-gloss or gloss paint finish is recommended. Avoid matte, flat, or eggshell finishes as they can have a rough, dusty texture that makes it difficult for vinyl to adhere. Additionally, avoid low-VOC or no-VOC paints, as they may reduce film adhesion.
  • Vinyl will accentuate and draw more attention to any bumps or depressions in the wall, especially with low angled light. For the best outcomes with high visibility walls we recommend a level 5 finish, which entails a skim coat of joint compound (also known as mud) applied to the wall before painting to minimize or eliminate any visible defects. Alternatively, some clients will add a large acrylic backer that is fastened to the wall and provides a clean, smooth surface for the vinyl.
Is vinyl appropriate for exterior signage?

Yes, vinyl is exterior durable through all forms of weather. Elmark commonly adds an overlaminate to combat the bleaching effects of the sun and help maintain the original coloring.

What colors are available?

Elmark can produce vinyl in any color desired, often matching very specific Pantone colors to meet branding requirements.

Can we do photographic prints?

Yes, through the use of modern printing technology, Elmark can produce photograph-quality imaging on vinyl for interior and exterior applications.

Can Elmark remove existing vinyl graphics?

Yes, Elmark can remove any existing vinyl that is no longer needed. Although done carefully, this may expose damage to walls or windows. The most common issue is “ghosting,” where the paint around the old vinyl has faded more than the paint under the vinyl, with that contrast varying from negligible to significant based on the darkness of the paint color and historic light exposure.

How much do vinyl graphics cost?

The pricing of vinyl graphics is dependent on the size, specific film material chosen, and installation complexity. While lettering single-color names on a door may cost only several hundred dollars, more involved projects such as wall murals, dusted vinyl privacy treatments on windows, and/or re-vinyling an existing sign could quickly cost more than a thousand dollars.

How long does it take to make?

The average vinyl project is produced in a few business days. 24-hour turnarounds are possible for rush orders.
