The Complete Guide To Interior Vinyl Wrapping

Ever looked at your interior space and thought it needed a refresh but were worried about the time and cost implications? Whether it’s an outdated office, a worn-out retail space, or a hospitality venue in need of a refresh, finding an efficient and budget-friendly solution can be challenging. Vinyl wrapping could be just what you are looking for. Often referred to as architectural finishes in the signage industry, this innovative technique provides a transformative upgrade without the need for a full-scale renovation.

This form of modification allows you to resurface instead of replace furniture, fixtures, and fittings within your business, making it a practical and sustainable solution. Vinyl can be applied or wrapped to a range of surfaces from desks, doors and feature walls to countertops, washrooms and windows.

Vinyl wrapping is a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option when considering refurbishing rather than replacing. In today’s throw-away society, businesses are increasingly looking for ways to reduce waste and minimise their carbon footprint. By opting for vinyl wraps, you can ensure that you are cutting down on waste and costs while maintaining a fresh and modern appearance.

 

What are Architectural Finishes or Vinyl Wraps?

By using patterned and textured vinyl, you can completely change the look and feel of surfaces to breathe new life into your space and create a completely new design or theme. With over 1500 patterns, textures and effects available, architectural finishes are a flexible, cost-effective solution for any business. Why not introduce a natural wood or stone effect, a vibrant colour or a design? 

Vinyl wrapping is rapidly gaining popularity across multiple sectors, such as professional services, hospitality and leisure businesses, who are increasingly seeing it as a versatile option for a refurb project.

Can Furniture Be Vinyl Wrapped?

Yes, vinyl can be applied to a range of materials and, therefore, many types of furniture. For office environments, desks can be wrapped along with doors and cupboards. Vinyl wraps are also popular in the hospitality sector, where hotels can wrap lobbies and bedroom furniture to create a fresh and branded new look.

Alongside wrapping furniture, you can apply vinyl to walls, either as wallpaper or graphics with designs, wording or logos. The options don’t stop there, as we can also apply vinyl to glazed areas, internally and externally. Whether you’re looking to use window film to create a decorative element or increase privacy and ensure health & safety compliance, we can work with you to create the ideal solution.

If you are looking to create a feature wall, refresh your desks, upgrade your counters or brighten your washrooms, we can work with you to create a new look for your areas.

I would like to say a huge thankyou to everyone at Signs Express Swansea, who helped us with a Communication Boards project. Sharon was very organised and professional, taking a site visit to make sure that the boards were the perfect size and well situated. Phil was always reassuring, talking us through the fitting process and confirming delivery. Adam and Andrew were very flexible with delivering the boards for us and fitting them so that they were just the right height to be accessed by all. The boards themselves look amazing, Stuart the graphic designer is extremely talented and made all the right tweaks to fill the space on the boards! Thanks so much to all of the team, I would highly recommend!

I contacted Signs express and they talked me through a few different price options and discussed my requirements. they pointed out that part of what I wanted would require the use of vinal wrap and explained why. they then sent me some ideas of what my van would look like. I requested to change a couple of bits and very quickly we had designed exactly what I was looking for. I proof checked it and got booked in for fitting. I dropped the van off in the morning and it was ready for collection in the afternoon, looking exactly how I wanted it. I highly recommend signs express, the whole process was excellent.

In January 2023 we made an initial order of some aluminium signage to be displayed in our elevators and communal stair landings. Since this first order, we have continued using the services of Signs Express for the past 2 years and have subsequently ordered a vast array of signage for our site in Leeds. Providing both an excellent service and a high quality product they are now our "go to" company for all our printing and signage requirements. Rick Nurse has always been extremely helpful and knowledgeable when discussing our requirements. His expertise means he is able to ensure all our requirements are exceeded and that we receive the best product. Highly recommended!
