Wall quotes are vinyl stickers that are applied to walls or other flat and hard surfaces. They are intended to be used as a decorative element in a room and consist of stylish quotes that are presented in equally stylish letters and occasionally graphic representations. They are ideal for decorating your home because they are inexpensive, relatively easy to attach and detach. When choosing a wall offer for one of your rooms, you have to decide, among other things, whether to choose a vinyl film with a matt or glossy surface.

To get a good idea of ​​the differences between these two types of vinyl decals, look at the matte and glossy finish found in photographs - the effect is very similar. In short, the main difference is that shiny vinyl reflects the light more strongly, while matte vinyl is more textured and does not glow so much when illuminated. Most people use a matte finish because it gives a more natural hand-painted look.

The choice depends on what you want to create in the room and what is already present in terms of the decoration. The choice of the quote itself also affects the choice between dull and glossy. An extravagant quote can benefit from a glossy treatment, while a more zzz and introspective quote can be well served by a dull look. It is up to you to decide, and there are many practical variables that need to be considered.

Matt vinyl usually has a glue stick that easily peels off walls. This also applies if the wall quote has remained on this surface for many years. At the same time it can be more difficult to apply matt vinyl on walls with light textures. If you do not have a perfectly flat and smooth wall, matte vinyl may not be the way to go. Similarly, and for similar reasons, this type of vinyl, when used outdoors, can last only a few years. However, they are good for glass, mirrors and tiles.

Glossy vinyl has a higher bond strength than the other, so it sticks better to walls that have a certain texture. However, it is also more difficult to remove the wall quotations if they spend a long time on a surface. Depending on the quality of the paint on the wall, it may peel off when the vinyl is removed.
