The Window Film Company was engaged to print and install a range of bespoke graphics on multiple surfaces as part of the redevelopment of a large office facility in Central London.
Printed graphics from The Window Film Company offer an ideal way to create a stylish interior, with products available to cover a range of surfaces, including glazing, walls, and storage units. This project involved creating and installing a range of custom graphics, replicated across various materials, for use in multiple locations throughout a newly refurbished office space.
Requirement
The client offers stylish, inspirational spaces for hire by businesses and individuals, with the latest venue located in central London. The multi-story facility was undergoing a complete refurbishment ahead of opening, and The Window Film Company was engaged to provide stylish printed graphics for application to windows, walls, doors and storage units throughout.
Printed graphics were required to provide a welcoming, professional, and stylish look, meet manifestation requirements, and deliver an element of privacy.
Solution
The Window Film Company used a number of different printable media and techniques to deliver a bespoke solution for each part of the project.
By printing on optically clear window film, we perfectly recreated a set of bright, vibrant graphics that reflect the client’s brand. Using optically clear film enabled cut graphics to appear without cutting, reducing exposed edges once the film was installed.
The printed film was applied to numerous glass partitions throughout the property to meet signage requirements. Building regulations stipulate that glass of a certain size (usually floor-to-ceiling panels) requires manifestation to ensure it is easily visible to the naked eye, thereby preventing accidents and potential injury. By printing and installing printed graphics in the central section of the glazing, manifestation requirements were met while also giving the glazing a stylish new look. The colourful design also provided an element of privacy, preventing an immediate view into the rooms without blocking light.
Long-lasting, durable vinyl was used for two additional parts of the project, including signage for the many doors throughout the premises. A simple yet clear way to label each door was sought, and the requirement was met by precision-cutting the room name (each room is named after a year) from white vinyl. This created a strong contrast with the blue doors throughout the office, making it immediately clear which room was which.
Another benefit of using printed graphics is that it allows decorating surfaces that might not otherwise be upgraded. On this occasion, printed vinyl was used to give several cupboard doors a stylish new look, providing a long-lasting, durable solution vital for a heavily used surface.
Installation
All of the graphics used, the printed optically clear film for use on glass partitions and smaller windows, the cut vinyl to provide signage and the decorative upgrade for the cupboard doors, were printed, cut and prepared in-house by The Window Film Company’s dedicated print and graphics team.
The installation then took place on a date and at a time carefully agreed upon by the client and The Window Film company’s operations team. The timing of the installation was an important consideration, given that several other trades were scheduled to be on site and the opening of the new facility was imminent. The work was completed by a team of The Window Film Company’s fully qualified and highly experienced fitters, installing graphics at over 50 locations and surfaces throughout the premises.
The result was an office with a consistent, stylish theme throughout, reflecting the client's brand while providing an enjoyable, professional environment for users and visitors. Manifestation requirements were met throughout, while each room was easily discernible thanks to the white vinyl.
