Q: What is decorative wall lettering?
A: Decorative wall
lettering is lettering you can apply to walls, glass, smooth stone,
metal, wood, plastic, etc. Lettering is self-adhesive and will stick for years to most any smooth
or semi-smooth surface. Our
lettering does not stick well to porous or semi-porous materials such as
brick, cinderblock, paper, and untreated wood.
*Lightly textured walls
work fine with vinyl lettering, however moderate to heavily textured walls do
not.
Q: Do I
have to put each letter on individually?
A: The
vinyl letters come pre-spaced and ready to apply to your selected surface.
Q: Can I remove the lettering?
A: Vinyl lettering is removable. Simply work a
corner of a letter loose with fingernails or tweezers and slowly peel the
letter off the wall. Repeat with each letter. If you can grip it
but the lettering is not removing easily, use a blow dryer and apply
hot air to the lettering for a few moments. After removal, if there is any
adhesive stuck to the wall, rubbing alcohol will remove it. *
IMPORTANT NOTE:
if you're removing letters from a darker shaded wall and the letters have
been up for 6 months or longer, you may notice a "shadow" of the
letters on the wall. While the rest of the wall has lightened over time,
the paint behind the letters has stayed the original darker shade. In
such cases repainting could be necessary.
Q: How do I apply my custom vinyl lettering?
A:
Use these steps to apply your custom vinyl lettering:
1. Position Your Lettering:
Mark out some guidelines on the surface you’re applying the vinyl to ensure
your lettering will go on straight. Align your vinyl lettering to the surface,
using the guidelines that you marked. Tape or tack the vinyl lettering to
the upper edge of the guidelines to keep it in position.
2. Remove the Backing Paper:
Flip-up the vinyl lettering and peel off the backing.
3. Rub the Vinyl Letters/Graphics
Rub over the vinyl lettering or graphics to securely adhere them to your
surface. Work from the center to the outside edge on both sides.
4. Remove the Transfer Paper
Carefully peel off the transfer sticking paper to
reveal your vinyl lettering or graphics.
Q: Why
choose vinyl film lettering over stencils?
A: While
having the benefit of appearing "painted on" our lettering have none
of the disadvantages of painted letters. With vinyl lettering there is no
smudging; letter borders are crisp and clean. Your chosen phrase arrives
ready-to-apply in a single horizontal or vertical strip with each letter
perfectly formed and pre-spaced, all in your preferred font and color. Most expressions can also be installed in
under 30 minutes. While our letters will stay in place for many
years once installed, they are easily removable if the need arises.
Q: How do I determine the height of the vinyl lettering?
A: The height is determined by measuring the tallest point and the
lowest point of the phrase. For example: a phrase that says, “Stand for
Something”, would be measured from the top of the capital ‘S’ in ‘Stand’ to the
bottom of the ‘g’ in ‘Something’.
