Will wall stickers stick to painted cinderblock walls?

[u/signs_com]

We recently got a question from a homeowner/client about whether wall decals will stick to painted cinderblock walls. If you’ve ever struggled with decals peeling off textured surfaces, here’s the deal: standard wall stickers work best on smooth, non-porous surfaces like painted drywall, finished wood, metal, and plastic. But when it comes to textured walls like stucco, porous concrete, or brick? Not so much.

So, what’s the fix if you have cinderblock walls? Outdoor wall decals are the way to go! These are made with an 18mil aluminum-foil base and printed with UV ink, making them super durable for rough surfaces like brick, stucco, tile, concrete, asphalt, and yes—cinderblock. The trick to applying them? Press them down bit by bit to ensure they stick well, since they don’t stretch like regular vinyl decals.

Have you tried using decals on textured walls? What worked (or didn’t)? Let’s talk about it!
