The Dtlifek World Map Decal is an educational tool printed on a 0.08mm calendered PVC film. This gauge is chosen to provide the flexibility needed to go over minor wall irregularities while maintaining a low profile. The adhesive is a pressure-sensitive polyacrylate, which is specifically formulated for clean removal within a two-year window, making it a reliable choice for families in rental homes.
One practical consideration for installation is the size of the sections. Large pieces of vinyl can be difficult to manage alone, as the material can stick to itself if it folds over. Having a second person to help hold the edges can prevent creases and ensure the continents are aligned correctly. Additionally, if the decals arrive rolled tightly, they should be flattened under a weighted object for a day to prevent "edge-lift" caused by the material's structural memory.
High opacity is a key feature of this set, which prevents the underlying wall color from showing through the map. This ensures that the educational details and animal illustrations remain easy to read on any wall color.
Adhesion performance is best on gloss or semi-gloss finishes. Walls with "sandy" or heavily textured finishes may not provide enough surface area for the adhesive to hold long-term. If you are applying these to a room with high-heat sources like a radiator, be aware that the edges may be more prone to curling due to thermal expansion of the PVC.
For a purely decorative floral accent to accompany this educational map, the boho wildflower stickers can add a soft touch to the room.
