FAQ
Company Info
Applied Coverings is a California-based custom wallpaper and wall mural company specializing in high-quality, made-to-order designs for homes, offices, retail spaces, and commercial interiors. Every mural is printed to fit your exact wall dimensions on premium materials, including Type II commercial vinyl wallcoverings, eco-friendly substrates, and peel-and-stick wallpaper.
We are headquartered in California and serve clients throughout the United States, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose, and the greater Bay Area. We also ship nationwide and internationally.
We operate primarily online, which allows us to offer the widest selection and most competitive pricing for custom wall murals and repeat pattern wallpaper. If you’d like to see materials in person, we provide free or paid wallpaper samples shipped directly to you.
About Our Wall Murals
Our wall murals are large-scale, high-resolution prints customized to fit your wall perfectly. Printed on professional-grade wallpaper materials, they transform ordinary walls into statement features for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, restaurants, retail shops, and more.
When installed properly, our murals can last for decades. Commercial-grade Type II vinyl wallcoverings are engineered for 10–20 years of durability in high-traffic spaces, while peel-and-stick murals are designed for easy installation and removal, perfect for renters or temporary projects.
Yes. Most of our murals can be gently wiped clean with a damp sponge. For environments that require more frequent cleaning—like healthcare, education, or hospitality spaces—we recommend commercial vinyl murals, which are highly durable and cleanable.
Our murals are designed for interior use. However, if you need a custom mural for exterior
applications, we can recommend specialty outdoor vinyls designed for weather resistance.
Yes. Our materials can be applied to smooth doors, furniture, cabinets, or partitions. As long as the surface is clean, smooth, and primed, our wallpaper will adhere properly.
Murals are produced in panels for easier installation. Each panel is printed edge-to-edge with overlaps or butt seams, depending on the material. Once applied, the mural looks seamless as one continuous design.
About Our Repeat Pattern Wallpaper
Repeat pattern wallpaper uses a repeating design—such as florals, geometrics, or textures—that tiles across your wall for a continuous look. This is ideal for feature walls, accent spaces, or full-room coverage.
Wall murals are single, large-scale images designed to cover a wall as one custom piece (like cityscapes, landscapes, or abstract art). Repeat pattern wallpaper uses a smaller motif that repeats across the surface, giving a continuous and flexible design option for any room.
Our system calculates the number of panels you need based on your wall dimensions. Just enter your wall height and width, and we’ll generate the correct number of panels for a perfect fit with minimal waste.
Repeat patterns can be printed on all of our substrates, including Type II vinyl, peel-and-stick canvas-textured vinyl, and eco-friendly PVC-free wallpaper. This gives you flexibility depending on whether you want a long-lasting installation or a removable option.
About Panel Sizes
Our murals and repeat pattern wallpapers are produced in panels designed for easy installation and a seamless finish. Panel sizing depends on the material:
• Type II Commercial Materials– Printed in oversized panels ranging from 49–51 inches wide, allowing for fewer seams and a cleaner professional look. This large format is ideal for commercial spaces, feature walls, and projects that require durability and precision.
• Peel & Stick Materials – Typically printed in 24–30 inch wide panels. These smaller widths make handling and DIY installation easier, while still maintaining seamless alignment.
Printing in panels ensures accuracy, reduces material stress, and makes installation more manageable. A single giant sheet would be too heavy to handle, impossible to align, and prone to damage.
No. Panels are designed to butt seam or overlap and double-cut, depending on the material. Once installed, the mural looks continuous and seamless.
Yes. If you need specific panel widths—for example, to minimize seams in a certain area—we can accommodate custom sizing upon request.

Installation Instructions
Each order comes with detailed instructions, and we also provide step-by-step installation guides online for every material type (including Type II vinyl and peel-and-stick wallpaper). Professional installers are recommended for large projects, but our DIY peel-and-stick murals are user-friendly and renter-safe.
Yes. Every order ships with a printed guide, and digital instructions are available on our website for reference.
We recommend installing only on smooth, primed walls. Light texture may work with pressure, but heavy texture can cause adhesion issues and uneven finishes.
Avoid stain-resistant, low-VOC, washable, or scrubbable paints. These finishes repel adhesives and prevent proper bonding of wallpaper.
Wait at least 2–3 weeks after painting or priming before installing wallpaper. This ensures the paint has fully cured.
For best results, old wallpaper should be removed. In certain cases, if the existing wallpaper is smooth, secure, and free of bubbles, installation on top may be possible.
Standard materials are indoor-only. If you need outdoor graphics, contact us for specialty exterior vinyls.
Yes, but we recommend commercial vinyl for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens where moisture and humidity are common. Avoid direct contact with water.
Removal Instructions
Yes. Our peel-and-stick murals are designed to be removable without damage. Simply start at one corner and slowly pull the panel back at a 45° angle. For Type II commercial
vinyl, removal requires warm water or a wallpaper remover, but the process is straightforward for professional installers.
Peel-and-stick murals typically come off clean, leaving little to no residue. If any adhesive remains, it can be wiped away with warm water and a sponge. Commercial-grade vinyl may require light wall prep after removal.
If applied to properly primed and cured walls, our products should not cause damage. However, if applied to low-quality paint, unprimed drywall, or stain-resistant coatings, some touch-up work may be required.
Our peel-and-stick canvas-textured vinyl can be carefully reapplied if the backing liner is saved. Commercial-grade materials are not reusable.
Custom Orders
Yes. We specialize in printing custom wallpaper murals using your images, artwork, or branding.
We accept JPG, PNG, PDF, and TIFF files. For best results, provide high-resolution images (150–300 dpi at full wall size).
Absolutely. You can adjust colors, scale, or crop our patterns and murals to fit your space.
No extra cost for using your own artwork or resizing one of our existing designs. Additional fees only apply if our design team needs to create or retouch artwork.
Images need to meet minimum resolution requirements. Our team reviews every file and will advise if the image is too small or low quality.
No strict minimums. We can print small accent walls or full-building wraps. Murals and wallpaper can be printed to any width and height, with oversize projects tiled into panels.
Shipping
Yes. Once your mural ships, you’ll receive tracking information via email.
All murals are produced and shipped from our California print facility.
Standard U.S. orders typically arrive within 5–10 business days. Rush production and expedited shipping are available.

Returns
Because our wallpapers are custom printed to order, we cannot accept returns once production begins.
Refunds are available only if the order has not entered production. Once printed, orders cannot be refunded unless defective.
Since each mural is custom-printed, we cannot exchange for a different design after printing. We recommend ordering a sample before committing to a large wall.
If your mural or wallpaper is damaged during shipping, contact us immediately with photos. We’ll reprint and ship replacements at no cost.
