A Canadian based large format print company used Drytac Polar Grip white polymeric self-adhesive vinyl to create a striking set of exterior wall graphics for a local client.
Creative Silhouettes prints and installs a wide range of wall decals, graphics and applications for clients across a host of markets. The company teamed up with an existing client, real estate investment and management company Barney River, to transform the look of the outside wall of its building. As the application would be constantly subject to the elements and extreme cold of Ontario’s harsh winters, Creative Silhouettes required a material that could stand the test of time and retain its original, fresh look.
As a result, the company opted to work with Drytac Polar Grip, a self-adhesive PVC film that offers up to seven-year durability when used with a matching laminate. Featuring a high bond adhesive, the film can be used to permanently apply graphics to any surface such as metal, plastic, wood, glass and brick.
‘We have been working with Drytac’s materials for around six years now, using these products to create all manner of applications for our clients,’ Creative Silhouettes’ Chief Executive Officer Giovani Pereira said. ‘We have previously used Drytac Polar Grip for various other projects that required the installation of graphics onto rough surfaces like the outside wall in this project.’
Creative Silhouettes purchased the Drytac Polar Grip film from ND Graphics, an approved distributor of Drytac products in Canada, and printed all graphics in-house using its HP Latex R1000 printer. In total, the wall mural, which was installed in February 2024, measured approximately 5.5m high by 13.72m long.
