We’ve helped businesses here in Buffalo create some beautiful vinyl murals. We’ve seen how some companies have elevated their interior space, and others chose to enhance the curb appeal of their exterior with large format vinyl. Today we want to talk on the blog about outdoor vinyl and what you need to know if you’re considering outfitting your business with new graphics.
Let’s learn about weather-resistant adhesive outdoor vinyl, along with a few other ways vinyl can enhance your exterior and interior space.
Custom Printed Vinyl for Brick
Vinyl brick wrap is specially created for rough-textured walls. It allows you to take your brick building exterior and affix a custom-printed graphic that stays put despite the elements. Vinyl brick wrap offers a few upsides over traditional paint. For one, there aren’t many artists out there who can hand paint a mural as well and you can custom design artwork on a computer screen, and then print that artwork to scale, the size of a brick building. Using vinyl allows you to create your image digitally, and then create a large (or enormous) vinyl wrap to make it VERY visible.
Vinyl Brick Wrap Is Interchangeable.
Let’s say you want to give your building a new look, but you also want to consider creating a seasonal message that attracts the eye of passersby. You could use vinyl to create a large vinyl logo of your company, but then also create an interchangeable message that can stay up and not lose its quality, but be swapped out for the next season. It can be as permanent, or as temporary as you’d like.
Custom Outdoor Vinyl Can Withstand the Elements
This is a key benefit of using vinyl to optimize the look of your exterior. It sticks, and stays up through the elements, but can also be removed easily, without damaging the brick or wall itself. This helps to preserve the texture of the wall and preserves all the crevices and cracks of the texture. By using the latest in UV technology, a quality large-format printer can print a brick vinyl wall covering that won’t fade due to the sun, maintaining a bright and vibrant color profile over time.
Storefront Vinyl Window Decals
Whether you’re considering outfitting your business’s windows with a full vinyl covering, a few separate vinyl graphics, or just a temporary sale graphic, vinyl can do the job. Vinyl is durable and can outlast the elements, so things like door logos, lettering, hours of operation, and contact info should be printed in vinyl so they can be printed and applied once, and stay up. Vinyl window graphics are extremely popular as they easily create brand awareness and promote sales, in addition to adding color to your window display.
We’ve seen how businesses of all kinds have used a combination of brick vinyl, window vinyl, and interior vinyl to truly transform the experience of their space.
Who Could Use Brick Vinyl Wall Murals?
Schools & Universities
We’ve seen all kinds of organizations and companies use brick vinyl murals to help tell their brand story. Schools, colleges, and universities often use large format vinyl to help show their school pride and help students know where they are on campus. Colorful branding helps attract new students who may be visiting, but also helps students feel and home and proud of their campus.
Sports Teams
Along with schools and universities, we’ve seen an explosion over the last 10 years or so in sports teams of all levels using vinyl to customize their indoor and outdoor spaces. Enhancing the athletic fields, courts, and practice areas, helps alumni see that the school is committed to their programs. It provides a sense of pride in the athletes who see powerful messaging in their locker rooms, and on their lockers, and may even intimidate a visiting opponent with an inspiring message on the side of the school!
Nonprofit Organizations
Nonprofit organizations need to get their message out, but that can be challenging in a competitive space. Using large-format brick wall coverings could provide an affordable way to capture the attention of passersby to learn who they are and what they stand for. This isn’t unlike a billboard on the side of a highway, but with the customization, you can create with large-format brick vinyl, you can create a huge buzz in your area with your decal printed right on the side of your building.
Stores
Regardless of what type of product a store sells, we’ve seen outdoor vinyl become somewhat of a necessity for many storefronts. Grocery stores, apparel stores, small businesses, barbershops, everyone needs vinyl signage. If you own your own store, you need your logo in your storefront window. You need attractive signage to help add value to your brand and compete with others in your space. This is an ongoing seasonal battle that includes summer, fall, the holidays, and of course spring. You should have a vinyl signage strategy if you want people to walk into your store in today’s digital world!
Restaurants
Buffalo has some of the best food in the nation, and some of the most creative spaces! Both corporate and mom-and-pop restaurants need vinyl wraps. The customization ability of vinyl allows creative restaurateurs to make the most of their canvas, and create a space that is totally unique to their brand. You can truly make someone’s experience a special one by using vinyl to accentuate your brand and make a restaurant-goer remember the time they went to your restaurant by getting creative with large-format vinyl. That goes for indoors, and outdoors!
