Self-adhesive vinyl adds colour and transforms spaces. It is widely used in retail environments, offices and interiors. Today, it is an effective decorative solution, allowing your business to quickly change the look and feel of a space. Below, we explain how to install self-adhesive vinyl correctly. <\/p>\n

What is self-adhesive vinyl?<\/h2>\n

As explained in our article on sustainable vinyl solutions<\/a>, self-adhesive vinyl is a material composed of three layers: the PVC print layer <\/strong>(where the design is printed), the adhesive layer<\/strong> (which ensures adhesion to the surface), and the backing liner <\/strong>(silicone release paper that protects the adhesive until application). <\/p>\n

Eco-friendly vinyl options are PVC-free and use water-based adhesives, providing a more sustainable alternative.<\/p>\n
