What is Architextural?

This video provides a great insight into the Architextural division of William Smith Group 1832 and the advantages of using architectural films in refurbishments. Wrapping is a simple process, whereby an existing surface, flat or 3D, is covered with a self-adhesive film. Architectural finishes are highly engineered, durable, premium films, that are designed to look and feel like real life materials. The films are applied with heat, by skilled installers, to provide a realistic hardwearing finish. Once the film is applied to a surface, you can create bespoke furniture using cheaper materials and wrap them to look like real marble, wood or concrete for example. Over 1000 finishes available, so the design possibilities are vast. Typically it costs 7 times more to make something new. Refurbishment can also be a way to recycle or upcycle existing fixtures and fittings, rather than send to landfill. It can be another budget option for designers when costs are being squeezed, allowing businesses to refresh a room, reception, bar, shop, restaurant more often or on budget. Wrapping can also be more cost effective over the lifetime of the product, versus fabric, paint or veneer. Applications are clean, quick and easy, because you’re applying a vinyl in situ, so there’s no noise, mess or waste. You need very little equipment with minimal prep, mess and disruption, meaning less downtime and inconvenience to businesses. Architextural, part of William Smith Group stock hundreds of the top finishes and supply by the metre for sampling and prototyping on projects. We can provide pattern books, swatches or samples to help with design schemes. When required we can also facilitate trial installations. We have the largest UK trained skilled installation network, who can assist with applications on projects.
