Yes, there are a lot of floor graphics printers around. And even more different types of Floor Graphic Products to choose from. So where do you start? Right here of course, with our user-friendly guide to narrow down your options to just one simple solution, that’s perfect for your next project. As leaders in the large-format print industry, we specialise in custom printed floor graphics. From YouTube shows, music concerts, museums, hotels and retail stores through to events, trade shows and theme parks, we’ve got the expertise and the product knowledge. The right floor graphic product depends on a few factors and is just a few simple questions away.
The first question is simple. How long do your floor graphics need to last? Some of our solutions can last up to 3 months, ideal for short term campaigns. But that doesn’t mean that they’re stuck down firmly for 12 weeks. It means that the adhesive is suitable for short term events. It’s likely that the surface may only withstand 3 months of consistent footfall until the print begins to wear. Or it might be that the glue is designed to leave no residue, ideal for that conference room you hired for the weekend. More resilient products can last up to 6 months with higher adhesion, a thicker, more durable laminate or just a more substantial product with premium credentials. Then there are the 12 month products and beyond for long-term campaigns. These heavy duty players have very strong adhesives, durable laminates or an excellent surface for our custom printed, UV cured inks.
Which leads nicely to the next useful question: Are the floor graphics for indoors or outdoors? Or perhaps a bit of both? This is where the materials’ adhesive qualities really shine. Our British weather is best known for its changeable manner – and our outside floor graphics really do earn their badge for staying-power in wet conditions. A clever combination of powerful, water-resistant glue and conformable materials creates a tight bond with tarmac, concrete, stone and asphalt to provide a long-lasting outdoor floor media. Our indoor floor graphics solutions come with adhesives suitable for carpet, laminate, marble and vinyl surfaces. However, some indoor floor products don’t have a self-adhesive surface at all, and are designed to be either installed professionally or simply taped and edged for a reuseable solution.
Finer detail questions help differentiate between the remaining selection of products and is sometimes a preferential decision. Are you looking for an environmentally-friendly floor graphics product? Or one that can be recycled afterwards? Are you looking for a product that you can fit yourself rather than using our Professional Fitting Team. Or simply an intricate design that is best printed to a transparent flooring product.

We used PrismaFLOOR Tough to transform this large museum space with our custom printed floor graphics in a union flag style.
This durable indoor floor graphic, PrismaFLOOR Gold can last up 12 months in heavy footfall environments.
City Hall contacted us to print and install a huge PrismaFLOOR Lux graphic for this prestigious one-day event. Our client wanted to bring to life the heart of the campaign using a 10m by 15m metre map showing pollution levels in London. Our creative team advised on how to produce a map of London on such a large scale. It was a proud moment to see this impelling infographic brought to life in such an impressive space. Our PrismaFLOOR Lux product was perfect for crowd interaction, allowing the children to really explore the pollution level related to the different areas.
