Vinyl wall coverings: what they are and what types there are
Professional vinyl wall covering is a PVC covering in rolls or sheets that is bonded directly to the wall. It is not the decorative sticky vinyl you buy in a stationery shop: it is a technical material, washable and resistant to knocks and scuffs, designed for walls that see heavy use.
- Textile-effect or wallpaper-look vinyl, for hotels, homes and offices.
- Hygienic vinyl with heat-welded seams, for clinics, hospitals, care homes and kitchens.
- Protective vinyl for corridors, lifts and high-traffic communal areas.

Vinyl wall covering prices in Malaga: what they depend on
We do not work with fixed rates: we adjust the price to each project according to the square metres, the manufacturer and the chosen model. After a free visit and measurement, we give you a fixed, itemised quote. This is what has the most influence:
- Vinyl range: decorative, hygienic or heavy-duty.
- Condition of the wall: skimming or priming beforehand if there is textured plaster or damage.
- Area: on small jobs, travel weighs more heavily.
- Finishing: corner guards, skirting and welded seams on hygienic vinyl.
- Working hours in hotels or clinics that remain open.
How we install vinyl wall coverings, step by step
- Visit and samples. We measure the walls, check their condition and show you the sample book.
- Fixed quote. With metres, chosen range, preparation needed and timescale.
- Preparing the surface. We skim, repair and prime the wall so the vinyl bonds properly.
- Installation. We hang the vinyl in drops, matching the pattern, and weld the seams when it is hygienic vinyl.
- Finishing and clean-up. We fit corner guards and trims and leave the area ready to use.
Timescales: the number of working days depends on the metres and the preparation the wall needs; it is set out in writing in the quote. In hotels and clinics we agree the order of work with you so as not to interrupt your business.

Frequently asked questions about vinyl wall coverings
How much does it cost to cover a wall with vinyl?
It depends on the vinyl range (decorative, hygienic or protective), the preparation the wall needs and the finishing. We tailor the price to each project and give you a fixed, no-obligation quote after the visit.
Can vinyl be fitted over textured plaster or tiles?
Textured plaster has to be skimmed first. Over tiles it is possible if the grout lines are filled and the surface is primed. We assess it during the visit.
Can vinyl wall coverings be cleaned?
Yes. They wash with water and neutral soap, and hygienic vinyls can take the disinfectants commonly used in hospitals.
How long does a vinyl wall covering last?
A properly fitted professional vinyl wall covering lasts for many years, even in high-traffic areas. The exact service life depends on the range and is stated on the manufacturer's data sheet.
