What are photomurals
First of all we have to really know what a wall mural is, although you may already know it.
The photomurals are images made in large format and of enormous realism, whose destiny is to partially or totally cover an entire wall.
The images used for the realization of wall murals can come from high quality photographs, or from designs made by computer with professional applications for the design and creation of images.
All wall murals are adhesive. Either with glues intended for it, or self-adhesive.
What are the murals made of?
The material in which the photomurals are made is not always the same. Next, we collect the most common.
Paper murals
The paper used for the photomurals is a special paper for photographic printing, treated with stable UV ink.
The most common are the paper ones. However, this type of material is not suitable for areas with humidity such as the kitchen and bathroom.
Combined wall murals
These are made of paper covered with a vinyl layer. They are more resistant than the previous ones and, in addition, they are washable.

Vinyls, in addition to being more resistant and washable, are self-adhesive and can be opaque, translucent or micro-perforated.

Placing the murals
There are companies that can install the murals for you. However, following our DIY philosophy, we will briefly indicate the main steps so that you can install it yourself.
Before we start, I want to make it clear that, although the installation of a wall mural is relatively simple, if we want an impeccable finish, we have to be very meticulous. Below you will see why.
Checking the product
To make placement possible, the wall murals are divided into smaller grids, manageable by one person.
Therefore, before starting to mount, we have to check that:
- The image is what we ordered.
- The color is chosen.
- If all parts come.
- If all the squares are exactly the same size.
preparing the wall
In order for the mural to adhere correctly to the wall, it must be completely smooth and clean. Therefore, if there is any damage, we will have to repair it before.
It is also advisable to draw horizontal and vertical lines, which coincide with the different pieces of the mural. In this way, it will be easier for all the partitions to fit perfectly.
As I say, the walls must be smooth, so the photomurals are not suitable for placing on walls with gotelé.
However, they are not only suitable for placing on walls, but also on glass, in refrigerators, on wood, etc.
Present the mural
Before assembling it, we must present it on the ground, so that we are clear about how the different pieces will be arranged.
Placement of the photomural
The placement can be in two different ways, usually depending on the support in which it is made.
Adhesive wall murals
Its collation is practically identical to that of the painting paper. However, you should always be guided by the manufacturer’s instructions.
Self-adhesive murals
The protective paper is removed from the back side, leaving the adhesive exposed, and it is placed in its final location.
To avoid air bubbles and to be able to rectify the position, to a certain extent, before placing it we must spray the adhesive side with a little water.
We place the two upper corners and carefully press with a rubber spatula towards the other end.
In this way we must proceed with each and every one of the different pieces.
