Question from Sweet Gopala

I am interested in using wall decals in my home. I am slightly chemically sensitive, and wall decals are made from vinyl. Is it wise for me to avoid these? Will there be off-gassing with this type of vinyl product? Thanks for any advice!

Debra’s Answer

There is outgassing from any type of soft vinyl. Personally, i wouldn’t use them. But the amount of outgassing is rather small, compared to, for example, a whole room of vinyl wallpaper.

I would choose a different decoration.
