Are wall graphics suitable for gyms?

Yes, with the right material. Laminated vinyl copes with sweat, wiping and knocks from equipment. In changing rooms keep graphics away from showers and areas that are regularly soaked, where edges will lift, and make sure humid spaces are well ventilated.

What makes wall graphics and murals more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Hawick is £38–£82 per m² + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Do you work across the Scottish Borders or only in Hawick?

Across all of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK too. Hawick is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Can wall graphics go on an outside wall?

Sometimes, but it's a different job. Outside walls need weather- and UV-resistant materials, and a branded graphic counts as an advertisement, so consent may be needed; we check first. A printed panel fixed to the wall often outlasts vinyl on rough masonry.

How soon after painting can graphics go up?

Not until the paint has cured, which takes longer than drying to the touch. Follow the paint maker's guidance; as a rough guide, allow at least a couple of weeks. Applied too soon, vinyl can trap solvents, causing bubbles or a weak bond.

Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Hawick?

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.

Wall graphics and murals in the Scottish Borders

Wall graphics are large printed images, patterns or lettering applied to walls as self-adhesive vinyl or printed wallpaper, to brand a space, guide visitors or turn a plain wall into a feature.

Why choose wall graphics and murals in the Scottish Borders?

Retail units in Hawick can refresh a back wall with printed vinyl between seasons, without repainting or closing for long.
Gyms in Hawick can use full-wall prints to mark training zones and carry the brand onto the gym floor.

Wall graphics and murals in the Scottish Borders: permission and rules

Graphics on interior walls usually fall outside advertisement control, so planning consent is rarely the question indoors. The checks are fire performance in escape routes, your lease, and listed status: listed building consent covers interiors too, so ask the council before fixing to historic surfaces. A branded graphic on an outside wall is normally treated as an advertisement; in England it falls under the 2007 regulations, and large graphics may need express consent. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules. If consent is needed, we can prepare the drawings and photos or submit the application for you.
