What are wall decals?
Wall decals, sometimes called wall stickers, wall graphics, and wall appliqués are a well-established trend in wall décor by now. Wall decals are a beautiful way to renovate your walls into charming staging that complements any decor. American Decals offers self-adhesive vinyl wall decals that are thin, durable and easy to apply. You don't have to have experience to use our wall decals but your walls will look like you hired an interior designer!
American Decals Wall decals are made out of self-adhering vinyl and also fabric, printed and cut on a top of the line eco-solvent printer. Our wall decals look like they are hand painted on your wall like a mural or wall stencil. Our printed vinyl and fabric decals are removable and re-stickable, so you can move them around until you're happy with their placement
How do I contact you?
You can get in contact with us thought Email, Contact Form, Phone or Chat Live with us. (if we are too busy to answer the phone, live chat is usually the best option for our busy schedule)
How long will your products stay on my walls?
Our products should last up to 3 years depending on how they are maintained and the base wall paint.
Where are you located?
We are based in Indianapolis, INDIANA. We make everything in house and we ship from this location.
What are your wall decals made of?
Our wall decals are made of removable 3mil vinyl that is accompanied with transfer tape. For Graphics that are printed and for Wall Murals we use self-adhesive vinyl and fabric with a water-based adhesive backing. They are of the highest quality to ensure they can be easily removed and repositioned. American Decals wall decals can also be cleaned with a damp cloth.
How do I apply your products?
Before applying your wall decals, be sure to unroll them (if rolled) and let them lay flat for a few hours. Be sure the decals are at room temperature and that the wall on which they will be applied is dry. Ideally, wait 30 days after painting before applying your wall decals. American Decals wall decals are easy to apply. Your wall decals will either come on a backing (like stickers) or sandwiched between one clear piece of paper (called 'transfer tape') and one white piece of paper. The transfer tape helps with alignment of designs that involve letters. To apply, you will first peel off the white piece of paper. You will press your wall decal (which is still attached to the clear paper) on your desired location on your wall. You will then peel off the clear paper pulling downward towards the floor. The decal will remain attached to your wall.
How do I remove your wall decals?
Simply peel the decal from your wall using your fingernail or a blunt tool. Warm decals are easier to remove, so heating them with a hair dryer can help during colder months. To remove letters or intrinsic designs, apply a painters tape onto the vinyl and pull them out all at the same time.
Are your decals reusable?
3mil removable vinyl is not reusable, but fabric decals are, you can move them from room to room should you desire.
Will your decals damage my walls?
Our wall decals are designed to be removed easily and will not leave residue up to 4 years.
Can your decals be applied to any type of wall?
Yes. However, while we have tested our wall decals on many surfaces, there are a limitless number of paints, surfaces, and wall coverings currently on the market and new coverings continue to emerge. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that our wall decals will adhere to every surface equally well. We strongly recommend you order a sample. Also, note that because our wall decal material is so thin, the grooves of a textured wall will show through. It is similar to the texture you would see if you were applying a coat of paint. REMEMBER when you place an order you can request a FREE SAMPLE. This sample will be mailed to you before the order is processed and it will ensure that you are eligible for a refund in case your wall is not compatible with wall decals.
