Graphics above Heaters
Investing in office or shop graphics is a big decision. And it is not just monetary. A lot of time goes into making sure the look of a decal is right. In making sure that it reflects the business branding and culture. That it will stand the test of time.
So how frustrating would it be to find it going curly at the edges within a year? Sadly, this is exactly what can happen with vinyl graphics. Hardly surprising seeing that to remove a vinyl graphic we apply heat to make the edges curl up for easy removal!
Vinyl comes in different qualities and often lower-rated products are used indoors, simply because they are not exposed to the elements. Installers and suppliers alike often forget that the sun can be very intense through glass (leading to fade) and that the heat of a wall can high due to pipes or heaters beneath.
When a customer purchases from us online, we often don't know the situation it is going to be applied in. For this reason, we only use quality vinyl, but more often than not, we steer the customer towards FabriStick. This soft fabric wall sticker clings better to most surfaces, even above a heat source. Being made from Polyester, it doesn't curl at the edges and it is easy to smooth out any creases created during the application.
This photo is from Sage House - a most inspiring Dementian Support Centre. Their activity room had vinyl graphics installed, which were peeling off the wall. These fabulously large pieces look so lovely replaced with FabriStick ones.
