Wallpaper graphics brings Laisterdyke's academic values to life

Josh Pratt, our Sales and Projects guy, gathered up our fitting and design team to brainstorm a plan of action. At the site survey, the team highlighted key areas for change, discussed different artwork ideas and worked out which print methods would be most functional, reliable and impactful. We determined that a bold installation was needed to improve core zones throughout the school, make it easier to navigate and to impose some of the academy’s values onto the walls. Josh and the team came up with a unique artistic direction, designed from scratch, utilising 17 different elements and over 110m2 of graphics. The project would also need a huge amount of rigid materials that would last for years and withstand wear and tear: - Polycrill—a printed display textile similar to wallpaper - Aluminium composite material (ACM) board (a lightweight panel material) with an anti-scratch laminate on top (a laminate designed to resist scuffs and scratches)

The following Wednesday evening, at around midnight, our team finally completed the installation in time for Thursday’s open day. We designed “Welcome” graphics for department hallways to let visitors know their current location within the academy; we installed hanging banners decorated with international flags; and we implemented a number of bright, bold inspirational wall prints to engage and encourage students. Job’s a good’un.
