# How long do floor graphics last?

Floor graphic lifespan depends on the material and, even more, on where it is used and how it is cared for. The same graphic can hold up for many months in a quiet lobby yet wear noticeably faster in a busy entrance. Material Typical indoor life Aluminum floor graphics Years in indoor settings Vinyl adhesive graphics Several weeks to a few months Foot traffic: high volume walkways and doorways see the most wear, so match the material to the location. Surface: clean, smooth, sealed floors hold graphics longer than rough or porous ones. Indoor vs outdoor: indoor installs are shielded from sun, rain and temperature swings, so they last longer. Protection: slip-resistant lamination protects the print and keeps it readable longer. Cleaning: gentle regular cleaning extends life, while harsh chemicals and aggressive scrubbing shorten it. Removable adhesive suits temporary and promotional use and lifts cleanly when the campaign ends.
