Need to add branding or decoration to your brick or painted cinder block walls? Textured surface vinyl is a great option! It’s weather resistant and looks similar to a painted surface. This article explains how this product is applied, lists even more benefits, and provides some great examples.

Doesn't this vibrant sign look like it's been painted onto the exposed brick? Hard to believe that's vinyl!

Textured surface vinyl can be applied both indoor or outdoor and works great in all types of weather. It’s an adhesive backed vinyl that is installed using heat and a roller. When heat is applied, the vinyl molds to the textured surface, creating a strong bond.

The installation process is more time-consuming and labor intensive than standard vinyl, since every inch of the vinyl must be heated and pressed into the surface. However, the result is similar to a painted mural, which makes the extra time and cost well worth it!

Textured surface vinyl is perfect for:

• Branding
• Wall Murals
• Menus
• Product Photos
• Advertising 
• And more!

Here are some great examples of textured surface vinyl that we’ve installed for our customers.

Hopdoddy Burger Bar

We printed and installed the “Now Hiring” sign pictured above for Hopdoddy Burger Bar in Nashville, TN. This sign was installed on the side of the building and is very noticeable to cars and people as they pass by. Notice how vibrant the glossy vinyl looks against the exposed, unpainted brick.

Boothcamp Gym

We installed floor to ceiling white textured surface vinyl letters on a black painted cinder block wall for Boothcamp Gym in Nashville. We love the way the bold wall graphics stand out against the contrasting black walls!

What a great use of textured surface vinyl! We love the industrial look of the cinder block. Very cool!

This is a great close up view of how the vinyl adheres to the painted cinder block wall.

Loews Hotels

We printed and installed textured surface vinyl wall murals at Loews Hotels’ properties all across the United States and Canada for the employee work areas. The vinyl graphics included bright and welcoming wall murals containing the words “Hello” in different languages to welcome Loews team members who come from different countries. We also printed and installed textured surface vinyl containing photos of iconic parks, landmarks or buildings in each city in the cafeterias. Check out both images below!

Isn't this a bright, welcoming hallway? This printed wall graphic looks much better than plain walls!

This fun wall mural contains a photo of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. It was installed in the “Heart of House” cafeteria at the Loews Minneapolis Hotel.

Sports Facility

We installed the textured vinyl wall mural pictured below in a sports facility. This wall mural is a great example of how vinyl graphics can be inspirational to athletes.

This floor to ceiling wall mural was definitely eye-catching!

As you can see, vinyl graphics applied to textured surfaces can be very impactful. If you don’t want the expense of painting wall murals or need large printed graphics or photos displayed on your brick, cinder block or other textured walls, you should consider textured surface vinyl!
