Trade Articles / 06 Jan 2020

At Surface View, our extensive range of services is designed to help and support our trade interior design, architect and merchandising clients through each stage of a large scale print project. With over 40 years of experience printing at a grand scale, our experienced team can help, from project management to design and installation - delivering an exceptional end-to-end service every time.

Working across a wide range of sectors including hospitality, residential, healthcare, sport, leisure, offices, education and public spaces, all our core products (mural wallpapers, art canvases, art prints, wall hangings, ceramic tiles, window films and roller blinds) are available for trade specification. And because our parent company and the driving force behind Surface View, VGL, is a cutting edge, large format printer specialising in complex commercial projects, our trade customers also benefit from a host of exclusive trade only products. These include vinyl wall films and graphics, window and glazing graphics, fabric prints and banner graphics, printed Formica laminates and prints on wood and cork to name just a few.

From the very first point of contact, our experienced team are on hand to offer you tailored solutions. With you every step of the way, your Surface View client service representative will manage your project through the process. Starting with taking your brief, they will make recommendations suited to your requirements and budget.

 

Working closely with our team of artworkers and print technicians who check every specification, your Surface View client services representative will make further recommendations based on their expert product and print knowledge. From beginning to end, our teams work together on every project to ensure the best result for you. Once we’re satisfied, you verify the final specification and sign off a digital proof prior to print and manufacture.
