I received a phone call from a design/marketing firm recently who was working with a local manufacturing/engineering company, with a rich history. This company started from humble beginnings in 1948 and has grown steadily ever since.   The designers were looking for options on how to display this company’s lengthy historical timeline in a new buildings they had just finished constructing.   The designers were looking at options for displaying the timeline on the walls in the buildings.   After understanding the parameters we determined the best solution would be a custom printed mural.    Wall murals are an excellent way to way to transform you office into something everyone will be talking about.   And when it comes to designing a wall mural the possibilities are really endless.

This solution was chosen given the mural was not going to be changed in the foreseeable future and being in a high traffic area they needed the protection of a laminate.   We explored several options and settled on a 3M product - 3M IJ40C with 8509 luster over-laminate. We installed the mural in one piece, 58” H x 192” L. We prepped the wall and centered the mural on it. Then we used tape to secure it in place and keep it from moving. Working diligently from one end we remove the backer and, using a squeegee, we worked the vinyl to ensure we had good adhesion to the wall.  The company president was ecstatic with the results. Another happy customer!   You too can decorate with wall murals. Give us a call we can help!
