Wall quotes are sheets of vinyl decals that are applied to walls or other surfaces that are flat and hard. They should be used as a decorative element in a room and consist of elegant quotes presented in equally elegant letters along with occasional graphic art. They are ideal for home decoration because they are inexpensive, fairly easy to apply, and removable. When selecting a wall quote for one of your rooms, one of the options you will be faced with is whether to select a sheet of vinyl that has a matte or glossy finish.
To get a good idea of the difference between these two types of vinyl decals, look at the matte and glossy finish found in the photos; the effect is very similar. Simply put, the main difference is that glossy vinyl will reflect more light, while matte vinyl has a more textured finish and won’t shine as brightly under lighting. Most people end up using a matte finish as it gives a more natural hand painted look.
The choice will come down to what you want to create in the room and what is already present in terms of decoration. The choice of the appointment itself will also have an impact on the choice of matte or glossy. An extravagant date can benefit from a glossy treatment, while a more zen and introspective date could well be accompanied by a matte look. It is up to you to decide and there are many practical variables to consider.
Matte vinyl generally has a sticky stick that is easily removed from walls. This is true even if the quote on the wall has stood on that surface for many years. At the same time, it can be more difficult to apply matte vinyl to walls that have light textures. Unless you have a perfectly flat and smooth wall, matte vinyl may not be the way to go. Similarly and for similar reasons, if applied outdoors, this type of vinyl can last only a few years. However, they will work well on glass, mirrors, and tile.
Glossy vinyl has more adhesive power than the other, so it will adhere better to walls that have some texture, but it will also be more difficult to remove the quotes from the wall if they have been on a surface for some time. Depending on the quality of the wall paint, it may flake off as the vinyl is removed.
