    Hi,
    Whats the best material to use for wall murials in retail shops to meet fire regs.

    like the womans face in the image?

    I read a few products you need to use wallpaper paste, is there a self adhesive vinyl available?

    Cheers

    Stu

    Hi stuart,

    on that particular job we used, Metamark MD5, with matching overlam, if you go onto their site you find the fire rating’s
    I thinks it class 1, possibly 0

    You can use cheaper vinyls for wall, but i like to use a good vinyl, as an office environment, especially with air con, can change temperatures as much as external applications.

    MD5 satin overlam, over gloss white MD5, Never use Gloss inside a shop. Too many light sources, will show the joints too much.

    Hi Ian,

    very nice looking job! Is the vinyl directly mounted on a painted wall or do wall-wraps like these need other preparation?

    Cheers,
    Bart
