FAQ
-
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WALL MURAL AND A WALLPAPER ?
A wall mural is a made-to-measure large-scale design or photo wallpaper. A wallpaper roll is a 63 cm width roll with an identical pattern that does repeat on each roll. All our wall murals are made according to your exact measurements, with your chosen design and material. All our wallpaper rolls are available in many lengths, with your chosen design and material.
-
CAN I CUSTOMISE MY WALLPAPER?
Yes, You can completely customise your wall mural. Once you have chosen your design or uploaded your own, simply add the desired dimensions and the image will be ‘cropped’ to show you which area of the image will correspond to your proportions. Once the crop marks (the blue lines on the image) appear on the image, you can move them around the image to frame and indicate the exact area you would like to be printed as your wall mural. Then, choose a material from our large range of available materials, and your mural will be shipped within 3 to 5 working days in a highly resistant box.
-
HOW LONG WILL MY WALLPAPER MURAL STAY UP?
Well, it all depends on the surface you plan to apply it to. A good wall preparation is key! On a flat, smooth and CLEAN indoor wall, our wall murals will last for years. We do not recommend installing our wall murals on textured walls, on vinyl based walls or on eggshell painted/ textured walls, even if we have thick materials which can be used effectively on rough surfaces. If you wall is quite damaged, you can install our exclusive fabric canvas wall with frames, which is a great and beautiful way to make your wallz talk even if they are not in great shape. It is important to install your product within 2-4 weeks of delivery.
-
WHAT TYPE OF SURFACE CAN I INSTALL MY WALLPAPER MURAL ON?
Flat and smooth surfaces are best. For more rough surfaces, even if a preparation is always better to have a great finish, some materials thicker could be used to cover small irregularities, even if the final result won’t be as perfect as on a very smooth surface. We do not recommend installing on any type of textured wall even if we have thicker materials for rough surfaces. We recommend our exclusive Fabric Canvas Material for very damaged walls.
-
CAN I PUT MY WALLPAPER MURAL ON A SURFACE OTHER THAN A WALL?
Absolutely! By using our exclusive removable Phototex or laminated vinyl materials, you can apply your chosen design on all types of doors, furnitures, glass, ceilings, poles, windows, home appliances, tiles, mirrors, etc. It can easily be placed on almost any flat surface, given that is is smooth, clean and dry. If you use our removable Phototex, you will be able to remove it without causing any damage or leaving any trace to the wall.. It can be reused and repurposed dozens of times, so you can change its position and placement as many times as you wish!
-
CAN I USE WALLPAPER MURALS TO DECORATE MY BATHROOM OR ANOTHER HIGH MOISTURE AREA?
Absolutely! Some of our materials are humidity-proof but the walls need to be completely dry before applying. In this case, lamination is necessary for installation in a bathroom or moist area. Lamination entails a highly resistant skin applied over the surface of the material, which will protect the mural against moisture/humidity, scratches, UV damage and everyday wear and tear. Moreover, it can be cleaned with a damp cloth! Lamination finish is Matte. Avoid to install your mural directly in the shower: direct water flow could cause your mural to peel off.
-
CAN I CLEAN MY WALLPAPER MURAL?
Yes, you can wipe clean your wall mural with care as the inks we are using are very resistant. Simply take a clean, damp sponge a wipe gently using warm water. Do not use chemical detergents on your wall mural.
Our laminated products are much more resistant and can be cleaned without risk of damages. We propose as well some specific washable products with a special coating.
-
CAN I WALLPAPER MY CEILING?
All our murals will fit perfectly on both walls and ceilings — they even fit on doors! Please note that a surface must be smooth, clean, dry and sound for wallpapering to work effectively.
-
What is Univerwall Material?
Our self adhesive material is a woven fabric that has the look and feel of a very thin canvas. It does NOT contain any vinyl and does NOT require any additional adhesive such as glue or paste. The backing is made of a low-tack adhesive that allows you to remove it and re-use it multiple times. It has a natural matte finish. For more information and technical specs on our material, please refer to: About Our Product
-
How long will my wall mural stay up?
Well, it all depends on the surface you plan to apply it to. A good wall preparation is key! On a flat, smooth and CLEAN indoor wall, our wall murals will certainly last for years. We do not recommend installing on textured walls, vinyl based walls or eggshell painted textured walls. It is important to Install within 2-4 weeks of delivery. Warranty is void after 4 weeks of receipt.
-
What wall surface should my mural be installed on?
Outside of plain brick, the only surface that we have seen work against the adhesive is the combination of eggshell paint on a textured surface. Eggshell paint is mainly used in the kitchen and has intentional additives that allow it to be cleaned with detergents like 409, Fantastic, Soft Scrub, making it hard to adhere too. The material does has the ability to stick to this paint, however, when the paint has been applied to a textured surface, then basically only half the adhesive is touching the actual surface. In some cases, this type of surface combined with eggshell paint can make it touchy for the material to work. Our recommendation is to NOT INSTALL ON TEXTURED WALLS.
We now offer a product to handle rougher surfaces which is a High Tack 50% Stronger adhesive (still removable) and also great for more permanent installs. The Opaque material allows for a 100% block out, great to cover colored painted walls.
Our wall murals stick to low and no VOC paints!
It is very important that you allow at least 30 days concerning a newly paint surface to dry. Bubbles can occur if the paint is still outgassing/flashing off. Also make sure all drywall painted surfaces or a repainted surface have been primed and painted in order to not leave possible residue or peel paint upon removal.
-
Can I use my mural outdoors?
No, not ideally. Univerwall should be used specifically for indoor use. The longevity of your wall mural will also vary depending on the surface you are applying it to. We strongly recommend placing it on a clean flat surface, no texture. We also recommend choosing our lamination option to protect the mural from moisture and UV fading, and most importantly will allow you to wipe it down to clean with a damp cloth.
For outdoor wall murals, please contact us to find out about our product options suitable for exterior application.
-
I would like to use my mural on a different surface than a wall, can I do that?
Absolutely! You can use your Univerwall on all types of doors, glass, ceilings, poles, windows, furniture, home appliances, tiles, mirrors, etc. It can easily be placed on almost any flat surface. It should not cause any damage when removed, but if for some reason it does, please note that Univerwall Inc. is not responsible.
-
Can i put my mural on an existing wallpaper?
Yes, you can, although we do not recommend it. Removing existing wallpaper and prepping your wall for a new wall covering is best. Be sure if applied to wallpaper it is not vinyl based and has no texture. Univerwall is not responsible for the results of installation on wallpaper.

I RECENTLY PAINTED MY WALL. HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT BEFORE INSTALLING MY WALLPAPER MURAL?
Do NOT apply it right away! If you apply your wallpaper mural before the paint/primer is fully dry, it will either have trouble adhering to the wall or the adhesive will dry to the paint. When removed, paint may come off with your mural. A completely dry wall may take longer than you think. As a general rule, we recommend waiting at least 2 weeks. However it is best to follow your paint manufacturer’s instructions. They should provide an amount of time for curing the paint before applying a wall covering to its surface.
