Can vinyl wall decals stick to painted concrete block walls in schools?

Yes! The Simple Stencil’s premium vinyl decals adhere beautifully to smooth and lightly textured surfaces, including painted concrete block walls. This makes them a favorite for transforming school hallways, gymnasiums, cafeterias, and classrooms without needing to hire a muralist. We do recommend your concrete block be painted with several good quality coats of paint (as most school walls are). We also suggest you wipe the surface with a mixture of water and rubbing alcohol before placing your decal so that there is not any dust or cleanser residue left on surface that could hinder adhesive. We do include these instructions with your order.

Does The Simple Stencil accept school purchase orders (POs) for bulk decor?

Absolutely. We gladly accept school purchase orders. We have been working directly with educators, principals, and school districts since 2003 to streamline the purchasing process for classroom wall quotes, library graphics, and school mission statements. Our purchase order submission process is made as simple as possible, and you can find all details about how to submit your approved purchase order (PO) on our dedicated purchase order information page .

Are classroom wall quotes easy to remove at the end of the school year?

Yes, our wall decals are 100% removable. This makes them perfect for teachers who need to change their room themes annually or for schools that want to update their seasonal decor without damaging the drywall or repainting the walls. To remove the decals, you can use a blow dryer or heat gun at a low setting to soften the vinyl before peeling it away from the surface. Because the adhesive is water based, and make exclusively for this purpose, no residue should remain on the wall.

How do schools and tax-exempt organizations place an order without being charged sales tax?

We make ordering completely hassle-free for schools, churches, and non-profits. How sales tax is handled depends entirely on your shipping address: Shipping OUTSIDE of Florida: By law, The Simple Stencil does not charge or collect sales tax on any orders shipped outside of our home state of Florida. No sales tax will be added to your final invoice or checkout total, meaning you do not need to submit a tax exemption form to us. Shipping WITHIN Florida: If your organization is located in or shipping to a Florida address, we can easily remove the sales tax for you. Before placing your order, simply email a copy of your Florida Consumer's Certificate of Exemption to support@thesimplestencil.com . Please include the email address associated with your website account in the email, and our team will update your account to tax-exempt status. 💡 Quick Tip for Purchasing Agents: If you need a copy of our W-9 form or a formal price quote to submit to your district or board for approval before purchasing, please contact us at support@thesimplestencil.com and we will send it right over!

Can we request a custom wall decal of our school mascot or motto?

Yes! In addition to our large catalog of educational quotes, we offer free custom design consultations. We can turn your specific school motto, core values, school mascot or any creative idea into premium, die-cut vinyl wall art tailored to your school's colors and font styles. You can even send us an image of your wall, window, door or other surface you wish to place decal and we can provide a sketch free of charge so you can see a preview of the final results before you buy!

Can library wall quotes and decals be applied directly to wooden or metal bookshelves, end panels, or glass windows?

Yes! Because space in a school library or media center is often filled with books, our premium matte vinyl decals are designed to adhere beautifully to alternative smooth surfaces beyond just drywall. Librarians frequently use our stencils to transform: Wooden or metal bookshelf end panels (perfect for genre labeling, directional signs or reading quotes). Glass partitions, windows, and study room doors (giving a sleek, etched-glass look). Circulation desks, book return bins, and makerspace storage containers. Our decals leave no sticky residue behind, meaning you can modernize your library or change your reading themes without damaging expensive school furniture or media equipment. 📚 Librarian Pro-Tip: If you are trying to match a specific reading theme, school color scheme, or want to create custom "Genrefication" signs (e.g., Graphic Novels, Sci-Fi, Biography) for your shelf ends, you can use our online Decal Designer or email us for a custom layout!

How Long Will My Decal Last?

Simple Stencils will last almost indefinitely when placed in an interior environment. They do work in bathrooms and other humid environments so long as the surface is non-porous. They can also be used outdoors, however their lifespan will depend on how much exposure to sunlight and rain it has. Regardless... think years!

Can I move my decal?

Our decals are meant for a one-time application. Once it is removed, it's difficult to place the decal in a new location without the top layer that keeps everything spaced and aligned, as it is during the first application.

A great company to work with, always!

A wonderful experience working with this company! It’s repeat business, for me, and that says it all! I was working a project to create a Memory Wall of loved ones that had passed away! With the help of a special series of stencils, I was able to create a great frame for all my special pictures! Thanks again for all of your help!

Excited for our kids to see it!

We were really nervous getting such a big decal, but it came in 4 manageable pieces. It did take 3 people to do it since it was so big. One we got the hang of it after the first piece it was really easy. The 3rd piece seemed to be harder to get off the plastic, so we just had to go slower. We love how it turned out and can't wait for our kids, parents and volunteers to see it on Sunday morning when they come to church!

This was my first installation and it went better than expected. Its 4 1/2 feet wide on a surface 9 feet above the ground. Since the first day, everyone has commented that they thought it was hand painted in place since its so sharp. Everyone was impressed that it was even possible.
