Common uses include signage, numbers and letters, decals, displays. Also used for wallpaper, wainscoating, ceiling fans, RV's, toys, decorative surfaces. It is flexible, a box can be wrapped with it. Other diamond plate vinyls can be very dull or have unwanted repeating seams, this vinyl does not suffer from either drawback. It is very bright, nearly mirror quality. I can read the reflection of newsprint in the area between the diamonds.This is sign vinyl, rolled up on a 3 inch cardboard tube, it is mostly plastic, with a thin layer of polished aluminum to give it metallic brilliance.
