Every so often, clients visit our showroom and are amazed by some of the products that we display. Not only do the signage designs pop, but also the quality of the products goes beyond the expectations that many clients have. At Spotlight Signs and Imaging Solutions, we like to help you get noticed with the right products. We also like to show off just a little and let you peek behind the curtain to learn more about the way that we make your signage items. Recently, a client asked how are vinyl wall murals fabricated and installed in Scottsdale, AZ, storefronts. Here is the answer.
The Process Starts with a Client Consultation and Site Survey
Although we accept orders with accurate measurements via the Internet from customers who are out-of-state, we like to visit local clients whenever possible. During the client consultation, we discuss the type of mural you want to add to your space. If you have images or artwork on file, we review the items for use. At that time, we also take measurements of the target wall.
We make note of areas that call for cutouts such as windows, light switches, and doorways. You may be surprised to see us measuring the distances from windows located on other walls to the targeted wall. This has to do with the depth of the room, which in turn helps us with the sizing of the style elements within the image.
Image Manipulation and Printing
Since we have previously discussed the choice of the artwork, we already know what type of image you want to feature. Now, we work to move the image so that any cutouts we have to make are not at crucial parts of the design. When you want to enlarge the picture, our graphic artists ensure that the overall size of the style elements will not overwhelm the size of the room.
When we are satisfied with the sizing and setting of the image, we add any color enhancements that you desire. For example, some clients request black-and-white displays while others like the idea of choosing a gray scale look with one target color standing out. Next, we provide you with a proof that shows the design and any enhancements to the image that we made. Once we get permission to proceed, we print the image on high-quality vinyl that is designed for wall installations.
Our Installation Seeks to Minimize any Impact on Your Business
Our technicians work with you to find the right day and time for the installation. It is our goal to minimize any impact on your business. On the appointed day, we prepare the target wall for the process. This calls for meticulous cleaning of the surface. After this is complete, we install the mural one panel at a time. Our experts take special care to match each seam correctly. The goal here is the installation of a product that looks like it came in one piece.
Once we are finished with the process, we clean up and leave your office with a new mural that has the power to completely change the atmosphere of the space.
