Refurbishment can be a strange time in any workplace. One day it’s business as usual, the next you are side-stepping toolboxes on the way to the kettle and wondering if that banging noise will echo through the corridors forever. Keeping your team productive while giving your space a makeover is not always easy, but it is definitely doable with the right approach.
At Fusion Surfaces, we specialise in vinyl wrap refurbishment that is clean, quiet and causes much less disruption than traditional methods. That means no dust clouds, no demolition and no having to explain why someone’s desk is now surrounded by masking tape.
If your office or hotel needs a refresh but your staff need to stay focused, here is how to make it all run smoothly without losing your team or your sense of humour…
Zone your workspace
If you are refurbishing in phases, contain the work as much as possible. Temporary partitions and good signage can help steer people away from where the magic is happening. At Fusion, we often wrap surfaces one section at a time, allowing the rest of the space to stay in full working order.
Manage the noise
Nothing ruins a brainstorming session quite like a drill in the background, accompanied by the latest from Jerk FM. Talk to your contractors about scheduling noisy jobs outside working hours if possible. One of the big advantages of vinyl wrapping is how quietly it can be done. No sawing, no hammering and no shouting over the sound of sanding.
Communicate clearly and often
The more your team knows, the more patient and adaptable they will be. Share timelines, updates and expected milestones. A quick daily briefing or a weekly email works wonders. Let staff know when and where the work is happening, and invite questions so no one feels left out of the loop.
Real results with Office Principles
When we worked with Office Principles on a refurbishment in Peterborough, the challenge was clear. The office washrooms needed a complete visual overhaul, but the building was fully in use. We worked in phases, wrapping the doors, vanity units and cubicles in a sleek grey wood finish. One male and one female block were completed in a single day. The result was modern, hygienic and low fuss, with zero disruption to the working day.
Why vinyl wrapping makes sense
Vinyl wrapping is fast, low mess, cost effective and built to last. Most importantly, it lets your team get on with their jobs while your space gets a fresh new look. Whether you are upgrading desks, doors or entire rooms, vinyl wrapping gives you the finish of a full refurbishment without the usual headaches.
At Fusion Surfaces, we believe a refurbishment should feel like a fresh start, not a full stop. Let your business carry on as normal while we handle the transformation. Contact us here for more information.
