Why is there a minimum size on our gallery murals?
There is a minimum size of 4 feet x 6 feet required for artists licensing our product
as a mural. The sizes can go either direction as long as one direction exceeds 4
feet and the other exceeds 6 feet.
back to top
Is there a maximum size?
There really is no maximum, within reason. The direction of the image may determine
a maximum size more than anything. A person wouldn't want to take a vertical image
and stretch it to fit a hallway because of the way it would distort an image. If
you have questions about making an image work, give us a call. We will help you
determine how best to put a Murals Your Way mural on your wall.

Do you offer metric sizes for international customers?
Yes. You will find an English-to-metric converter within any product page on Murals
Your Way. You can easily submit your desired width and height and meters and centimeters.

Are wall murals 'do it yourself'?
Yes. Most customers install their own murals. Our Vinyl and Canvas murals go up
much like wallpaper. Our SmartStick® material is very similar to a peel-and-stick
wall décor. We also offer a list of the guild of professional paper hangers located
by zipcode if you prefer a professional installation.

Are the vinyl and canvas murals pre-pasted?
No. Our vinyl and canvas murals will need to be applied with paste. Applying paste
during installation makes the process easier.
Our SmartStick® material is a peel-and-stick wall décor. You simply remove the
backing when placing it on your wall. SmartStick® has a light texture similar
to vinyl and is a much higher quality and durable material than other peel-and-stick
options.

What if the wall I want the mural on is not a smooth surface?
If you have a textured wall, a wood-paneled wall, a wall made from cinder block,
or any other rough surface, we recommend the installation of a 'liner paper', followed
by 2 coats of flat latex paint. A liner paper is simply blank wallpaper which covers
irregularities in the wall surface.

Can a mural be cleaned?
Should you need to clean your mural, lightly wash with a damp sponge. Excessive
scrubbing or harsh materials may damage the printed surface.
back to top
Will my wall be damaged when I remove a wall mural to redecorate?
No, the wall will not be damaged. You will want to carefully remove the mural and
then wipe off any residue on your wall with a clean, damp sponge or towel.
Our SmartStick® material can be easily removed and repositioned up to 200 times
without damaging your wall.
back to top
Can I install a wall mural in a bathroom or other high-moisture area?
Yes, if certain precautions are taken. Our vinyl and canvas murals must be coated
with a water-based polyurethane (several light coats) to protect them from moisture.
In addition, if you suspect moisture exists behind the wall, an adhesive containing
a mildewcide should be used.
Murals printed on SmartStick® repositionable wall covering are treated to be
waterproof and can be installed for nearly any type of reasonable application.

What if I'm not sure my image is of a high enough quality for a mural?
Call us or email us. Tell us your concerns about the image and we can help you decide
if it is going to turn out the way you want. We want you to love the mural you get,
and we will do everything we can to ensure your image is going to turn out the way
you want.
File size required is from 500KB to 20MB and in a .jpg or .tiff format. We also
accept scanned and vectorized artwork. For more information visit our upload your
own photo page for additional specifications and copyright questions.

Why can't I do a mural from a developed picture smaller than 8 x 10 or a
thumbnail web image?
A developed image (in a small size) can’t be scanned at high enough quality to expand
the image into a wall mural. However if you have the negative of the photo, we will
more than likely be able to generate a mural. Photographs taken with a digital camera
at least larger than 6 megapixels will work best. The output of your mural is only
as good as the input of your photo or image.
back to top
What do I need to know before I begin hanging a wall mural?
For vinyl or canvas murals your wall surface should be smooth, and free of irregularities.
The ideal surface is an inexpensive flat latex paint (no wall prep/primer.) If you
are unsure of your existing painted wall, we recommend 2 coats of flat latex paint.
If the existing paint is a gloss or semi-gloss, use a medium grit sandpaper to roughen
it. Please contact us if you have any questions.
SmartStick® repositionable wall covering murals will adhere to nearly any surface.
For more information visit our
installation page for additional specifications and common questions.

What other types of installation can I use besides pasting or adhering to
my wall?
- Use grommets to free hang your mural.
- Wall Borders.
- Adhere to portable wood panels.
- Outside applications.
- Velcro applications for wall cubicle installation.
- Many other unique applications.
Please contact our design consultants today and we can help you with any application!

How do I take precaution with light switches and and other objects on my
wall?
You will want to remove any light switch covers or other objects on the wall. Then
carefully trim around your light switch or outlet with a cutting tool during the
application phase of installation.
