What are the factors that affect the life expectancy of wall graphics?

Improper installation will result in poor adhesion, edge lift or curl.

Poor initial adhesion. Test prior to installation to ensure the film has sufficient adhesion to the surface.

Graphics exposed to excessive moisture can trap water which will lead to loss of adhesion/lifting and mold growth.

Recessed areas and grout lines may lift at higher temperatures. Loss of texture conformability may also be observed.

Freeze/thaw cycles can accumulate moisture within porous surfaces and be trapped between the graphic and the wall.  One indicator if the wall is susceptible to this is cracking and spalling. Therefore, the graphics may lift, peel, or crack as well.

Removal of graphics (even removable films) may cause damage to the wall, paint, or wallcovering.

The Expected Performance Life for Textured Surface Graphics ranges from 6 to 24 months outdoor when not used in freezing and thawing cycles. Performance is subject to the type of surfaces and its environmental conditions.
