What does wall vinyl do?
Belbien wall vinyl can easily transform your interior and exterior spaces with a fresh look. Belbien architectural finishes allow you to recreate any surface to resemble timber, metallics, leathers, whiteboard, abstract and linen.

How does wall vinyl work?
Belbien wall vinyl must be applied to 100% smooth non-porous surfaces including metal, HPL (high pressure laminate), glass, PVC, melamine, Sintra, and many more. Porous surfaces such as MDF, Gypsum board, drywall, and existing painted surfaces must be sealed prior to applying Belbien. Any imperfections in a substrate will telegraph through. It’s crucial that all imperfections are sanded smooth or filled and sanded prior to applying Belbien.
