Have you ever looked at a\u00a0wall at home or work and considered putting some on it to make it less drab? Maybe painting it or putting a cool wallpaper up that will really attract some attention could be the solution. \u00a0If you’re contemplating between those two options then this may be helpful in coming to a decision of painting or wrapping your wall.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the cost. \u00a0Initially, painting can be more cost-effective, however, when you look at the long-term cost,\u00a0wrapping your wall saves you more money. \u00a0This is a price comparison given by\u00a0SpeedPro Chicago Loop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next, it’s important to look at convenience. \u00a0When painting a wall mural, it usually has to be done outside of business hours because of the strong\u00a0paint odor and inconvenience of a mess. \u00a0When applying a wall mural it can be done out of the way and\u00a0during normal business hours without any hassle. \u00a0There are no fumes and it takes only a short amount of time to apply.<\/p>\n

\"collection<\/p>\n

Finally, let’s look at the graphic itself. \u00a0If a painted wall gets scratched or starts to fade, there is no simple way to repair besides repainting which incurs more costs. \u00a0Also if any stains are almost impossible to remove. \u00a0Printed vinyl, however, is more difficult to scuff or scratch and is virtually not noticeable and hidden within the graphic. \u00a0It’s also quite easy to clean and most dirt can be wiped away.<\/p>\n

In the end, the decision is yours but we hope this at least helps you distinguish between painting a wall and wrapping a wall!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
