The project.
We were commissioned at rather short notice by a film set construction company to do the Adidas wallpaper installation for an upcoming film and photoshoot.
There were two different Adidas branded wallcoverings to be installed on temporary stud walls and later transported to a location.
Installing digital wallpapers requires specialist skill and experience especially since not all wallpaper hangers or installers will install wide-width wallcoverings. This is why we were called in, having done film set wallpaper installations previously for this client for the Gangs of London Season 2 film set.
Specification.
On arrival at the workshop, our wallpaper installer spent time with the Project Manager to go over the full specification.
The corridor section consists of six different shaped stud walls constructed of plywood of around 3.2m high and various widths. These consisted of a straight wall, chimney breast and triple aspect or zig-zag wall. But the kitchen was constructed of two adjoining walls to a 120 degree angle.
There were numerous insurmountable challenges during this Adidas wallpaper installation project. But with our experience in film set decorating we had pre-empted and defeated these challenges. In film set decorating, walls are not always solid therefore susceptible to movement during wallpaper installation.
In absence of any wallpaper design instructions from the digital printers, our wallpaper installer had to spend some time to understand the wallpaper design to ascertain if any allowances have been made for trim waste, pattern loss and other factors that may affect wallpaper installation, particularly custom digital wallpaper where there is no room for error.
Another challenge our professional wallpaper installer had foreseen was the plywood walls. It is never ideal to install digital wallpaper to ply because of its highly absorbent properties.
The result.
With strong team work with other trades on site we produced excellent results.
For the corridor sections. the wallpaper design was a combination of browns and yellows circulating around the Adidas logo. This wallpaper was printed into 3.2m drops of 1075mm wide and installed using traditional butt join to match.
The 120-degree kitchen wall was installed with another custom design wallpaper featuring hexagon shapes of three different colours wrapped around the Adidas logo. This wallcovering was printed with absolute minimum wastage to top and bottom and just under 1080mm wide.
As soon as our wallpaper installer had completed the Adidas wallpaper installation, the workshop guys proceeded to dismantle the stud walls carefully and load onto lorry to transport to the location. All on schedule for the film and photoshoot.
