North Coast Signs, Carlsbad, CA, recently completed a very challenging job for one of the new office buildings currently under construction. The goal was to add some pizzazz to two interior conference rooms by giving them frosted window graphics. This one-of-a-kind project entailed installing a 48-inch-tall band of Oracal 8510 Fine Silver Frosted vinyl on large glass walls.
The client wanted a continuous band across the glass surfaces, adding both privacy and an air of modern elegance to the conference rooms. Truly unique in this installation, however, is the intensive labor required to incorporate the company’s crosshatch logo into the design. These cut-out elements required precision to ensure the final result was clean, cohesive, and met the client’s branding needs.
Meeting the Challenge
One of the more challenging aspects was removing an existing frosted stripe from an installed glass for the front reception conference room. North Coast Signs worked closely with the contractor to meticulously remove the old material without damaging the glass or seamlessly continuing the new frosted vinyl installation.
From site surveys to measurement accuracy, every little detail was important in keeping the band constant throughout the panels. The project deadline became quite challenging due to the tiny details of the logo that needed a high level of attention while cutting out.
Custom Frosted Vinyl for the Modern Office
Frosted vinyl window graphics represent one of the leading solutions for modern offices. They create a dual opportunity for privacy and branding and can serve very effectively in conference rooms, reception areas, and even private offices. Oracal 8510 vinyl was used for this project because of its fine silver look, balancing sleek design with effective privacy.
It not only beautifies the inside of the office but also serves as a diffused natural light medium that allows rooms to feel open yet permits confidentiality during meetings. Custom cut-outs, like the crosshatch logo used here, take branding to the next level by incorporating company-specific information into functional design elements.
Contractor Collaboration
North Coast Signs worked hand-in-hand with the construction team to ensure that the result was perfect. Measurement had to be highly accurate, especially with newly installed glass walls. The coordinated effort ensured the continuity of vinyl banding across all surfaces. Attention to detail is paramount, as even the slightest misalignment would disrupt the flow of the design.
Positive Outcomes
The client was overjoyed. The sleek vinyl provided the privacy needed, and a crosshatch cut-out added a unique branding element to the space. The result was a beautiful, professional finish that far exceeded expectations.
