Today’s post explains how to get perfect results with your custom floor graphics installation. Read on to learn how to choose and prepare your display area for perfect results from our custom floor graphic installation experts.
Like most things, perfect results start with a perfect foundation.
The following surfaces are suitable for the application of floor graphics:
Avoid areas with loose or uneven tiles, and make sure the floor temperature is between 50° and 100°F (10° to 38°C) during application.
At this stage, you’ll also want to double-check that the floor finish is fully bonded to the floor surface. Concrete sealer, wood sealer, paint, and wax are some of the biggest culprits. If the finish isn’t well-bonded, your custom floor graphics will not adhere well to the floor, and you may experience peeling, lifting, or bubbling. Save yourself the trouble and choose a well-bonded foundation from the very start.
It’s also a good idea to pick spots that fall outside the path of pallets and heavy equipment, which can damage your custom floor graphics over time.
Finally, make sure your chosen area is far enough from entryways to avoid them getting wet due to rain, snow, or other contaminants. Though custom floor graphics are required to be slip-resistant, wet custom floor graphics can increase your risk of slipping and falling, just like any other smooth surface finish. If you really want your custom floor graphics near an entrance or exit, use doormats to reduce moisture and be diligent about cleaning up any spills or wet spots.
Once you’ve chosen a suitable spot, it’s time to prep the area. MetroCenter Signworks recommends:
