Project Print Management (PPM) has installed a 16m high x 74m long digitally printed mesh PVC building wrap at Loseley House near Guildford in Surrey.
The wrap, which weighs 350kg, covers two elevations over a very complex scaffolding structure. The image itself is of Loseley House which is under extensive renovation and remains almost unseen under the wrap.
Justin Murray of PPM said: “There were many challenges in making sure the print fit the scaffolding, as that structure is much larger than the building. We also had the added challenge that the front door was still to be used so the print had to line-up with the actual door.
“A site office, materials lift and two skips also had to be accessed from the front of the banner and panels had to be pre-cut into the mesh building wrap also ensuring the openings line-up with the pre fabricated scaffolding structure.
“The importance of keeping the scaffolding designer informed was paramount as on this project they were not told until we were well into the artwork and they insisted on additional fixing points which meant unexpected costs to then client.”
The digital print was on PVC mesh material and printed on a 5m HP XL jet1500 and welded on a high frequency PVC welder.
The installation was carried out by the scaffold contractor under the supervision of Murray and took a total of 15 men to lift the building wrap into place.
