One of our largest wall murals to date was installed at a parkade ramp wall in downtown Vancouver as part of the Vancouver Mural Festival. The stunning and alluring art was designed by Cas Nahui (IG: @casnahui) and commissioned by Westbank.

The graphics were printed on 3M premium vinyl with a luster laminate to alleviate the vibrant colors. Due to the sloping ramp with a lurking overhead at the end, our team had to take in the angle and varying heights into consideration during the pre-flight of the artwork.

Needless to say, our team did an excellent job predicting all the possible challenges we may face and split the length of the graphics into various sections. These sections were then lined up perfectly together during the 2-day install which resulted in the seamlessly panoramic piece that you see in the gallery and video below.

We dove into 2021 with a massive order involving floor graphics for one of the largest tech companies in the world. The brand, which is moving into a new office in downtown Vancouver, will be leasing an entire building. Since the building had to undergo renovation, our client wanted to upgrade their hallways by adding a dimension to the existing concrete floors through custom printed patterns.

The floor space encompassed an area of almost 9000 square feet that spanned over nine floors. To ensure smooth sailing, our team conducted thorough pre-checks to predict possible challenges. These included various site visits, printing samples, and figuring out the assembly line for printing and paneling the enormous floor graphics.

We also had to work closely with 3M to ensure the media we use warranties a long life and withstand extreme foot traffic while being anti-slip. We produced samples on two different 3M vinyls with white and grey patterns. The client preferred grey over white and chose 3M IJ180 vinyl with 3M 3645 anti-slip laminate.

For the full prints, we decided to split the job per floor for efficiency. Each floor with its unique patterns will get printed for two days followed by another two days of installation (as we simultaneously print the next floor). Cumulatively, all nine floors took about three and half weeks to complete. 

Despite the magnitude and challenges we faced, we are delighted with the results. All the stakeholders (client, designers, sales, prepress, production, and installers) did a spectacular job of planning, organizing, and executing the proposed solutions.
