The Roommates Watercolor Floral decals are built on a 4-mil (0.1mm) calendered vinyl. This material is noted for its "memory," which allows it to be slightly stretched during the application process to remove air bubbles without permanently deforming the flower shapes. The design features a matte UV-resistant coating, which is a practical addition for rooms that receive a lot of natural light, as it helps prevent the watercolor pigments from fading over time.
The adhesive is a low-tack, high-shear acrylic. This means it is designed to hold firmly against the vertical weight of the decal while remaining easy to peel away without leaving a sticky residue. Specifications indicate that the 4-mil thickness provides enough opacity to mask darker wall colors, allowing the light floral petals to pop even on a grey or blue wall. To get the best results on textured walls, we recommend cleaning the area with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution 24 hours before you begin.
- Matte finish for a soft, painted-on appearance.
- Repositionable adhesive allows for multiple adjustments during setup.
- High tensile strength helps prevent tearing.
One detail for pet owners: the vinyl substrate can attract static electricity during the peeling process. This may cause pet hair or dust to jump to the adhesive side of the sticker, which can weaken the bond at the edges. Keeping the area as dust-free as possible during installation will help the decals stay secure.
