How the process works

Every order follows the same simple path from brief to delivery:

  • Share your design, dimensions and installation location.
  • We recommend materials, mounting and finishing options.
  • Approve a proof and, if needed, see a small sample of material quality.
  • Production, delivery and on-site installation across the Emirates.

Buying tips

A few practical points before you place the order:

  • Design a repeating pattern with even spacing - the photo looks sharper.
  • Matt lamination prevents studio flash glare.
  • Include a small 'award zone' centre or pasted circle for guests.
  • Store rolled, not folded, between uses.
