Custom Wall Wraps for Medieval Times in Buena Park Carry Their Theme Outside the Castle!

Medieval Times is an established client who needed additional wall wraps in Buena Park. Previously, we assisted the business with perforated window graphics, long-lasting 3M vehicle wraps, and courtyard wall graphics. This latest set of custom wall wraps needed to be precisely fitted into keyhole-shaped areas of the walls facing busy Beach Boulevard and the entrance drive.

Installation Challenges for Keyhole Wraps

Designing, fabricating, and installing standard wall wraps is fairly straightforward. Our installers measure the wall surface to create the right size, allow for cutouts such as light switches or windows, and ensure the seams line up correctly. However, custom keyhole wraps are a little more complicated. 

• Precision cuts. The combination of rounded and straight lines, along with corners, has to be precise. If the printed vinyl is even just an inch off, we have to redo it.
• Expert mounting. Because of the unusual cut, there is a risk that the vinyl might lift along the edges. Similarly, removing bubbles is challenging because the keyhole shapes leave little room for our hardware.
• Surface considerations. Custom vinyl wall wraps have to not only fit perfectly but also work with the surface makeup. Examples include cinder blocks, textures, or smooth surfaces. It is here that the correct selection of vinyl is pivotal. 

Working With a 3M Preferred Graphics Installer Matters

Not only is it “confidence you can see,” as we are fond of saying, but it also ensures that the treated wall surfaces are excellent branding and marketing assets for your company.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Vinyl Wall Wraps

When working with clients considering custom wall wraps, some questions keep coming up. Let’s take a closer look.

Q: How long do vinyl wraps last?

A: When installed outside, custom wall wraps may last between five and 10 years. 

Q: What types of walls work well for vinyl wraps?

A: Smooth wall surfaces are ideal for vinyl wraps. That said, we can also work with various textures, cinder blocks, and painted drywall. For painted surfaces, it is critical to allow the paint to cure for at least a month before installing the vinyl.

Q: How do wall wraps compare to murals?

A: Wall wraps offer consistent color displays, photographic image quality, and speedy installation. Painted murals take longer to put together, and during this time, there is some disruption to your business’s operations.
