Top Ideas for Office Refurbishment

If you’ve landed here, we can only presume that you must have an office refurbishment on the horizon.  

Or, you work for a company that needs an office refurbishment, and you’re going to send your boss this blog after you’ve read it as a not-so-subtle way of letting them know the place could do with an upgrade.  

Either way, we don’t mind… 

…as long as you consider vinyl wrapping within your project! 

You might’ve heard the term ‘architectural wrapping’ or seen people talking about architectural or interior film. This architectural film is, simply put, vinyl.  

It is decorative, high-quality vinyl, but vinyl nonetheless. If you want to see what it looks like in action, head over to our case studies to see a few designs our previous clients have chosen.  

So, why should you consider vinyl wrapping as an option for your office refurbishment? Why should using vinyl make any difference to the office refurbishment you have in mind?  

Well, we are about to tell you. 

 

Office Refurbishment Ideas 

At the beginning of your project, you’ll have many decisions to make about your office refurb: 

  • Will you buy new furniture for the office?  
  • How will you decorate?  
  • Will you move everything around, including the fitted furniture?  
  • Will you keep those dark wooden wall panels or rip them out and replaster the whole wall?  
  • What should you do with your reception area?  
  • Do you need a new desk or a feature wall? 

Sure, you can buy new furniture for the office. Though this involves removing all of the other furniture and a whole load of expense and disruption whilst the furniture is changed over, however in some cases, this can be the best option.  

It is not always cost-effective to wrap a desk. If you can buy a brand new one from IKEA for £29 and it fits in with the look you’re going for, then please don’t look at vinyl wrapping it because the material alone will cost you more than that.  

However, if you have some really expensive desks that need a little TLC and you want them to look modern and classy, then vinyl wrapping using architectural film can be your ideal solution.  

Similarly, replacing reception desks and boardroom tables can be expensive, and these are good examples of items that can be vinyl wrapped to be more cost-effective than buying new.  

 

Vinyl Wrapping For Office Doors 

Sometimes, office desks are cheap; however, something that is always costly is replacing doors.  

With the price of wood skyrocketing over the last two years, the cost of buying a door has followed suit: We were recently told the cost of hanging a new door on a commercial refurbishment project was £700 for one company.  

Using architectural film to upgrade the door would be significantly less; therefore, over more doors, there would be a massive saving to the budget. Perfect for leaving more money for other things (like slightly better IKEA desks).  

Check out our case study of Consensus Workspace to see how we wrapped 56 vision panel doors to fit in with the refurbishment of a new-look Manchester office. And wooden panelling? Save yourself a headache and get it wrapped.  

We have every colour, and different effects, such as marble, wood, fabric, and the list goes on. Just save yourself the hassle of plastering and unforeseen problems that inevitably come when removing anything that is fixed to the wall.  

If you’re choosing the colour scheme for the office refurbishment, then: 

  1. a) Congratulations, you’re clearly a person with an eye for detail
  2. b) We can send samples of any colour under the sun for your approval before you decide on which design is the right one for your scheme.
  3. c) Get in touch with Fusion Surfaces to learn more about our design choices.

 

Vinyl Wrapping for Office Refurbs 

So far, we have established that designs are not a problem. We have hundreds to choose from. We also know that vinyl wrapping using architectural film is going to be cheaper when wrapping your doors.  

Without a doubt.  

But some of the other benefits have yet to be mentioned. For example, we can carry out vinyl wrapping works with minimal disruption.   

If the offices are in use, then we can work around staff to install vinyl, as this is not a process that causes noise or mess. The process is also a lot quicker than a traditional refurbishment. 

Here is an idea of the timescales you would be looking at if you were to choose vinyl wrapping. One person can wrap: 

  • 8 doors in a day 
  • 32 locker doors in a day  
  • 1 large boardroom table in 3 hours 

Because there is no noise involved in the wrapping process (apart from the hum of a heat gun occasionally), your team can continue working whilst we are upgrading your furniture.  

There are no smells or drying periods when installing vinyl wrapping either, so your surfaces can be used as usual as soon as we have finished – there is no wait time.

Rosie Christie

Co-Founder

Older than the rest of the team, but not necessarily wiser as she’d like to think. There’s not an activity under the sun that she’s not been willing to have a go at, resulting in a mediocre ukulele player, part-time blogger, one-time skydiver and an unfinished sitcom script. There’s no room for shades of grey in this half of the partnership; everything comes down to looking after people who are important.

Organising tradesmen is not a task for the fainthearted. But recruiting the right tradesmen, ones who align with our values and are highly skilled at what they do makes for a much more harmonious project management process. Rosie’s role begins with a meeting to discuss your requirements, providing you with a quotation and carries through to the on-site management of your project.

Standing at a phenomenal 5’2”, she is living proof that big things come in small packages; a mix of infectious enthusiasm, laughter, loyalty, authority and uncanny Theresa May impressions.

Communicating with our clients is Jade’s forte. Being highly organised and placing customer satisfaction at the forefront of everything she does means that from enquiry to completion, your queries will be dealt with efficiently. For an in depth knowledge of the material specification of our interior film, Jade is your woman. She will put your mind at rest that not only do we install this product, but we make sure that is the most suitable for your needs.
