Details
This clear textured floor decal material can be printed normally, or with a white under print to help keep the floor color from showing through the image. It is ASTM D-2047 certified as slip resistant without lamination, and the special adhesive remains easily removable without residue. Applies to most indoor surfaces such as tile, marble, concrete, linoleum, porcelain, etc. Tolerates water in showers, bathtubs, supermarkets, saunas, even inside swimming pools. Available in widths up to 51".
Longevity of up to 3 months.
Favorite Features
It can be used in wet areas such as showers and around pools, and is our least expensive decal that is slip resistant when wet. Since it's clear, it helps minimize the appearance of any unprinted areas.
Drawbacks
While clear, the material is thick and textured, so it's still fairly visible on the floor in the unprinted areas. It's a vinyl material, so it's not eco-friendly.
Best Applications
It's great for decals in and around pools, saunas and showers.

Installation Instructions
Indoor Installation
Surface Preparation
- Tile, vinyl, linoleum, terrazzo and ceramic floor surfaces should be cleaned with a commerical cleaner, washed with isopropyl alcohol to remove any grease, wax or cleaning solution residue, and allowed to completely dry.
- Hardwood floors should be lightly cleaned with a commercial cleaner designed not to harm hardwood finishes and allowed to completely dry.
- Any paints or coatings on the floor must have good adhesion to the flooring substrate.
- Testing for product suitability by user is recommended prior to all applications
- If there are seams or grout lines in the surface, avoid them or bridge the decal over the seams. Do not position the graphic so that the edges fall within 3" of grout lines.
Applying the Decal
- Peel back about 1” of release liner from top of the decal. Fold and crease liner back.
- Position decal starting with the top. Apply firmly using a plastic squeegee.
- Continue removing liner a small amount at a time and press down the decal with the squeegee with overlapping strokes working from the center out at a 45 degree angle.
- After the entire decal is applied, squeegee the entire surface, working from the center out, to remove any air bubbles and to ensure good adhesion. Make sure the edges are applied well.
- Do NOT apply with water.
Routine Maintenance
- Wait 24 hours after application before cleaning or waxing floor.
- To maintain condition of the decals, avoid exposing them to heavy equipment traffic.
- CAUTION: If the edges of the decal begin lifting, replace immediately to avoid risk of injury due to tripping hazard.
