Can wall vinyl be installed over existing tiles?

Yes, in most cases. The tiles must have a solid bond to the wall. We have to check for loose tiles. After this, the amount of preparation required to smooth out the tiles ranges significantly. We have installed wall vinyl over tiles many times.

Does wall vinyl need to be the same brand as the floor vinyl?

No. We can install and weld all wall vinyls to different commercial floor vinyls.

Is wall vinyl suitable for food preparation areas?

Yes. Wall vinyl is one of the preferred materials for commercial food preparation areas precisely because it creates a seamless, non-porous surface that meets food safety and hygiene requirements. It withstands the steam, grease and chemical exposure typical of commercial kitchen environments. Its also extremely easy to clean

Do you install wall vinyl as a standalone service or only with floor vinyl?

Both. Sometimes we install wall vinyl as a splashback or as a wall protection where trolleys bump into the wall. In wet areas it is best to have floor and wall vinyl installed though to ensure a complete seal.

Commercial Wall Vinyl Applications

Hospitals & Medical Centres

In clinical environments, infection control is non-negotiable. Wall vinyl provides a smooth, non-porous surface that withstands aggressive cleaning agents and frequent washdown without deteriorating. Combined with coved floor vinyl, it meets the hygiene requirements of procedure rooms, corridors and wet areas.

Aged Care Facilities

Aged care environments require surfaces that are easy to clean, resistant to impact and compliant with infection control guidelines. Wall vinyl protects high-contact areas such as ensuites, bathrooms and laundry rooms while maintaining a clean, residential feel that's important in aged care settings.

Commercial Kitchens

Commercial kitchens demand surfaces that withstand daily pressure washing, steam, grease and chemical cleaning. Wall vinyl installed behind benches, around sinks and in prep areas creates a seamless, waterproof lining that complies with food safety requirements — and is far more practical than grout-dependent tiles.

Our Commercial Wall Vinyl Process

1. Surface Preparation. We assess the wall substrate for adhesion suitability, moisture content and surface flatness. Any loose material, old adhesive or contaminants are removed and the surface is repaired and primed or coated with feather finish as required.

2. Set Out. Before any adhesive is applied, we carefully plan the layout of the wall vinyl sheets. Large objects protruding from the wall are marked out and pre cut on each drop of vinyl.

Join placement is critical — all seams must land a minimum of 100mm from any internal or external corner. This prevents joins from opening at the most vulnerable points on the wall, ensuring a long-lasting, watertight installation.

3. Installation. Wall vinyl is cut to size and adhered using contact adhesive for the corners and top and bottom of each sheet. Vinyl adhesive is applied on the bulk of the surface and troweled to create an even layer. Sheets are carefully aligned and pressed firmly to eliminate air pockets and ensure full contact across the surface.

The wall vinyl is heated up with a gas torch, rolled into the glue from the center working outwards.

We will then heat up the corners and slowly form the vinyl into the shape of the corner using various tools.

4. Heat Welding. Every join between sheets is heat welded. We also weld the floor vinyl to the wall vinyl to ensure a watertight seal. We groove or bevel the vinyl to prepare for welding. Then pvc weld rod is fed through a plastic welder. Once welded, the excess weld rod is sliced away using various tools.
