Putting safe and
quality graphics on indoor and outdoor
walking surfaces is a GroundGraphics
specialty. It is important to
understand a few things about
GroundGraphics.
While there are
other floor products on the market, none
can compare with the quality,
versatility, safety, and durability of
GroundGraphics. The most common product
that compares to GroundGraphics is a
typical floor decal. Here are a few
significant distinctions between
GroundGraphics and floor decals.
General Safety
GroundGraphics special
surface is anti-slip even when wet. Try
this, pour water on a GroundGraphic and
a floor decal side-by-side and then walk
on them. You'll see what I mean. Soon
GroundGraphics will have a UL rating for
anti-slip when wet.
Floor decals are slippery when wet. In
addition a floor decal can be kicked up
at its edges especially on carpets.
Carpet Applications
GroundGraphics adhesive
system and anti-slip surface have been
engineered for application on virtually
all types of walking surfaces including
carpet.
Floor decals have not been designed for
carpets. The thin nature of the floor
decal typically allows the carpet
texture to become visible through the
graphic itself. In addition, the decal
adhesive backing kicks up easily in
heavy traffic carpeted areas. The floor
decal can present additional hazards for
carpet applications by introducing a
"slippery when wet" walking surface into
a traditionally "safe when wet" carpet
environment.
Durability
GroundGraphics is not a
laminated piece so it can't de-laminate
and will easily out last the length of
the client’s promotion. GroundGraphics
are literally as tough as a piece of
permanent flooring and may be considered
as such.
Floor decals will de-laminate along the
perimeter.
Installation
GroundGraphics are virtually “idiot
proof” to install. A single person can
position it on the floor where desired,
then peel off the 4 liners and simply
step it down around the perimeter. And
GroundGraphics can be repositioned if
needed.
Floor decals need to be squeegeed on
like wall paper when applied to smooth
floors. And forget about repositioning
a floor decal on smooth floors.
Application
The same GroundGraphics can go down
securely on a variety of walking
surfaces including tile, carpet, smooth
floors, etc.
Floor decals are designed primarily for
smooth surfaces. Application on
non-smooth floor types may result in the
texture of the floor visually coming
through the decal and the edges of the
decal kicking up.
Placement
GroundGraphics are not limited by floor
type. They can be placed virtually
anywhere desired to provide for maximum
promotional effect.
Floor decals generally will be placed
only where there are smooth floors.
Removal
GroundGraphics appear permanent when
down however with effort an edge can be
loosened and then the entire
GroundGraphic can be pulled up
relatively easy and residue free.
Floor decals often times require removal
resembling that of scraping off paint or
wallpaper.
Time Value
GroundGraphics install so easily that
they usually get installed by clients
immediately upon receipt.
GroundGraphics can also remain down for
virtually as long as desired.
Floor decals, because they take more
effort to install, may have their
installation postponed until a more
convenient time for the employees. And
after installation floor decals have a
limited useful time period before
de-lamination occurs along the
perimeter. In some instances
professionals are required to install
and remove the floor decal.
Graphic Quality
GroundGraphics fusion process actually
promotes or magnifies the graphic
quality or visual "pop".
Floor decals lamination process
suppresses graphic quality.
Outdoor Applications
GroundGraphics have been designed for
indoor and outdoor use.
Summary
There is nothing that can compare with
GroundGraphics. GroundGraphics cutting
edge technology make them uniquely
qualified for applications that require
one or more of the following:
In short GroundGraphics have been
specifically designed and engineered to
overcome all of the above issues related
to floor decals. You can now enjoy the
many benefits of GroundGraphics and will
no doubt dream up their own unique
applications.
