The short answer
WallEdge Installation installs wallpaper murals in Lantana, FL, from stock panel sets to custom-sized prints. We measure the wall so you order the right size, smooth and prime the surface, then hang and align each panel so the image is continuous.
A mural turns a wall into a picture: an ocean view in a room with no window, a sweeping botanical over a dining table, a cloudy sky in a nursery, or a giant abstract in a home office. Because the image is printed as one continuous scene split into panels, installation is less about pattern repeats and more about precision. WallEdge Installation hangs wallpaper murals in Lantana homes and condos throughout ZIP 33462. We are just about 4 miles south in Boynton Beach, which makes measuring visits and installation days easy to schedule.
Stock panels or a custom print?
Murals come in two broad forms. Stock murals are sold in a set number of panels at a fixed overall size. They are simple to order but rarely match a wall exactly, so the image gets cropped at the edges or leaves a gap.
Custom murals are printed to your measurements. You choose the image, enter the dimensions, and the manufacturer splits it into panels. This is usually the better path when the wall is a specific size or when you want the focal point placed precisely. The trade-off is that the measurements have to be right, which is where we come in.
How we measure for a mural
We take measurements at several points across the wall and use the largest figures, because walls and ceilings are often a little out of square, especially in older single-story homes. Then we add bleed: extra image on every edge that gets trimmed away during installation.
We also note anything on the wall that the image will need to work around: outlets, switches, thermostats, vents, window trim and door casings. Knowing those positions helps you shift the image in the mural maker's preview so the important part of the scene is not cut by a light switch.
- Several width and height readings, rounded up
- Bleed added on all four sides, per the manufacturer's advice
- Positions of every outlet, switch and fixture
- Eye level and furniture height marked for focal point planning
On the wall: the installation sequence
We begin with surface prep. Murals often have broad areas of smooth color that show every dent and ridge, so we fill, sand and, if needed, skim coat textured walls. A wallcovering primer goes on next to seal the surface and help with future removal.
Before pasting, we lay the panels out in order to check the sequence and look for printing problems. Hanging starts from a plumb line, not a corner. Each following panel is aligned by eye to the image on the panel next to it, then smoothed and rolled at the seam. When the last panel is up, we trim the bleed at the ceiling, floor and sides, cut around outlets with the power off, and clean any paste from the surface.
Humid weather, coastal air and mural materials
Lantana's location near the coast means long stretches of humid, slightly salty air, and the wet season brings near-daily afternoon thunderstorms. Inside, constant air conditioning pulls that moisture down. Murals printed on non-woven substrates or vinyl handle this well. In bathrooms and laundry rooms, a fabric-backed vinyl mural is a stronger choice.
Peel-and-stick murals are popular for their convenience, but heat and humidity can soften their adhesive, particularly on sunny walls or near doors to a patio or balcony. For a mural you plan to keep for years, a pasted product is usually more reliable here. Whatever you choose, keep the AC steady for a few days after installation so the adhesive cures evenly.
Planning around hurricane season
We install murals year-round, but between June 1 and November 30 we keep an eye on the forecast. If a storm is on the way, we would rather move the appointment than leave a new mural curing in a house that might lose power. Rescheduling is simple, since we are close by.
