The Power of Architectural Film (With Before and After Transformations)

Written by Surfacequest on December 15, 2017. Posted in News. Leave a Comment

Visual transformation is a powerful catalyst for businesses. When an old space is redesigned, the brand and company communicate a willingness to change when necessary, a value of forward movement and progression, and an appreciation for the comfort and pleasure of its clients and staff. All of these messages can be relayed with a simple remodel of an existing space. At Surfacequest, we deal in the transformation of spaces, and our favorite tool is Architectural Film.

Reuse for Everyone’s Benefit

With Architectural Film, you get to reuse your existing surfaces. There’s no tearing out of walls, furniture, columns, and cabinets. With minimal waste and stunning turnaround times, we can transform a dull, lifeless room into modern, cozy, colorful — whatever look you’re hoping to achieve — place that visitors will feel welcome and comfortable in.

When you recover existing surfaces with an Architectural Film, you’re making the choice to preserve natural resources by not having to create new from virgin material. You are also protecting and enhancing your assets by beautifying at a fraction of the cost of a traditional renovation, and it’s all done with the same end result of a remodel.

Our Architectural Films come in over 1700 visual variations of color, texture, material, and gloss. On top of the rainbow of solid colors we offer, there are abstract patterns, wood grains and metal looks, whiteboard options, stone, leather, stucco…if there’s a look you want to achieve, it can be done with Architectural Films.

Before and After: Dress your space to impress.

Enough talking: check out these before and after photos of a couple of projects we’ve done. As you can see, both spaces have a completely different feel to them with the simple addition of Architectural Film. They’re beautiful, they’re versatile, they’re resilient, and they’re the best way to update any room.

Architectural Fusions are a powerful way to refresh any space. They give you the option of renovation without the price tag and waste that comes with a traditional tear and toss remodel.

The one we’re going to highlight here is the Reatec Architectural Fusion.

Reatec offers over 700 premium patterns to choose from. Our top choices among them are metallics, woods, and abstract looks. They’re clean, realistic, and offer a sharp update to any smooth, non-porous surface. Whiteboard options are now available as well.

Custom colored whiteboards, realistic metals and wood grains, and beautiful pops of abstract color aren’t the only options Reatec offers. There are also leather looks, stone Fusions that are breathtakingly realistic, an array of solid colors, as well as fabric and stucco options. Mix and match your surfaces as you design, and your only limit is your creativity.

Save and Sustain

With Reatec, you’re looking at saving money, saving time, and renovating sustainably. There’s far less waste when you’re resurfacing rather than replacing a wall, door, column or existing millwork.

Interior design in your space is important. It gives the first impression, can impact the psychological flow of the people who enter the room, and reflects on your brand and function. As much as we tell people not to judge a book by its cover, that is exactly what most individuals do. There’s no getting around it. Because of that fact, we don’t want you to overlook a pivotal point in any room: the ceiling. Although your ceiling can be left neutral and boring, it can also be used for design good. A feature like beams has the capacity to completely transform a space.

When you utilize beams, you are making excellent use of your interior design impact. Ceiling beams help bring cohesion to a room and tie an otherwise unruly space together. With Architectural Fusions, your options are unlimited and the creativity of your design team is your only limitation.

Beams give you the flexibility to infuse either warmth or a cool, modern aesthetic into your room. They allow you to simply, quickly and cost-effectively change your design appeal. Our lightweight beams can be interlocked to span great lengths, adding an even greater wow factor. When your time and money is best spent building your company, a beautiful, clean application to refresh your ceiling is the perfect update.

The sky truly is the limit with ceiling beams, and when you pair them with Architectural Fusions, your options are endless. For design questions and help, contact the professionals at Surfacequest today. We are dedicated to helping you refresh your space with less waste, in less time, and with the greatest friendliness possible to your checkbook.

Atmosphere is everything in the hospitality industry: whether it’s giving a convention center that tech-forward feel, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for a hotel lobby or the homespun rustic look for a Vermont bed and breakfast. Architectural Fusions can give you that look and feel without the time and expense of a major rip-and-rebuild construction job.

The hospitality industry is built on creating an ambiance that people want to come back for. We can help you create just the right feel for your hotel, motel, hostel, or Airbnb rental. We can help you reinvent walls, re-purpose columns, reclaim selves, and re-brand signs to create your desired level of welcoming ambience, art hipness, cultural aesthetic, historical hallmark, or color contrast. We can even help you create a feature wall or custom statement piece to give each room just the right sense of art-cool you are looking for.

Architectural Fusions can help you create the perfect feel without tearing out costly walls or replacing expensive doors. Our micro-thin surfaces fit over your existing walls, cabinets, and doors to give your space a whole new aesthetic. With over 1,200 different surfaces, from metal to wood to leather to stone to choose from, you can create just the right feeling for your space.

Architectural Fusions save you money on both construction costs and down time. They give the same look without the costs of expensive dark wood accents, they are easier to maintain then glossy steel. They are easy to maintain and resilient to sun, scuffs, and marks all while saving landfill space. Every square foot of our architectural overlays offsets 8 pounds of construction waste entering our landfills.

If the look and feel of your space is everything in the hospitality industry, then Architectural Fusions allow you to create just the right atmosphere for your cliental much faster, cheaper and more environmentally sound then trying to rebuild your space from scratch. Make money by saving money while still creating that home-away-from-home that will bring clients back again-and-again.

Architectural Fusions Design in Retail Stores

Retail Store Design Improvements

Written by Surfacequest on September 5, 2017. Posted in News, Retail + Fixtures. Leave a Comment

Creating the perfect retail store takes a combination of finding the right products, hiring friendly and knowledgeable staff, and building the perfect space in which to bring them all together. When it comes to creating that perfect space, you have two choices: you can hire a construction crew to tear out the old space and then spend weeks, or even months, rebuilding your new space. Or you can save money and time by re-purposing the old space to make your perfect retail store dream come true.

Surfacequest Architectural Fusions allow you to re-purpose old walls, original columns, mismatched shelves, dirty doors, and unartful cabinets to create your idealized retail space. We offer more than 1,200 different patterns that are designed to emulate natural materials like wood, stone, metal and leather. We can help you to build a whole new look for your work space without the work of wholly rebuilding that space.

We can help you to create a new look for a brand new store, or to update the look of an old store. We’ll give your old space a whole new look all while keeping your expenses down, and without needing to close shop. Our micro-thin architectural overlays can be adhered to all of your current walls, doors, columns, shelves, cabinets and signs, without your closing for a single day.

Not only are architectural fusions a faster and cheaper way to build, or rebuild, the look of your retail store, but they are more environmentally sound than tearing everything out and starting over. Every foot of refurbished space that is not demolished and rebuilt saves 8 pounds of construction waste being towed off to your local landfill. In just 15 years, Surfacequest products have saved 65 million pounds of construction waste being added to our nation’s waste sites.

You already have great products, and the best staff, let Surfacequest help you to build the retail store of your dreams around them.

The New Age of Design — Fusion Style!

Written by Surfacequest on June 30, 2017. Posted in News. Leave a Comment

It is true that the power of creativity and human ingenuity knows no bounds. Our main goal is to create unique architecture and design solutions in the built environment; which will in turn enhance quality of life, and we use Architectural Fusions to accomplish that. Fusions are thin, architectural overlays that utilize proprietary pressure-sensitive adhesive and come in many patterns (around 1,200 options) that are designed to emulate natural materials such as stone, wood, metal and leather. Fusions have been in use in Japan for the past four decades due to scarce natural resources. Since Fusions make it possible for buildings to emulate the same appearance as natural materials in a cost effective way, Fusions have now been introduced to the U.S. architecture and design industry. Fusions are also referred to as architectural film and finishes, surface coverings or interior film.

We believe that a successful architectural project is a synthesis of history, technology, culture and inspiration. To achieve this, we treat each project by evaluating it individually. By respecting the uniqueness of an existing architectural structure, we design cost-effective solutions by integrating architectural films, incredibly creative architectural designs and a passion to promote working, learning, living and healing. We promise excellent design and the highest level of professionalism when it comes to providing architectural solutions that are innovative, thoughtful, unique and beautiful.

Effective Integration

Architectural Fusions can be perfect for all commercial spaces, and can be extremely useful in the hospitality and retail industries. These type of projects run on tight deadlines and are looking for creative ways to spruce up interior spaces within budget and without the need for a lengthy, messy and often times annoying renovation process that puts everyday business processes on hold for the entire duration of a traditional renovation.

Projects

Surfacequest has successfully completed many projects with a wide range of scope that has only been possible because of our years of experience working on restaurants, retail and hospitality projects.

Now you can renovate sustainably with architectural overlays from Surfacequest. Contact us today, and we can help you brainstorm ways to refresh your space.

3 Interior Design Trends for your Corporate Space

Written by Surfacequest on May 12, 2017. Posted in News. Leave a Comment

Interior design seems to rush along as quickly as fashion with undulating trends and rapidly changing ideals. There are certain trends that are worth taking note of, however. These are the statements that will endure for long enough to make the change worth it. When it comes to corporate interior design, it’s imperative to make certain that refurbishing is done only when necessary and with the greatest care in mind of the company budget.

With that said, here are three corporate interior design trends to integrate into your next office space refresh.

Don’t be Afraid to Go Dark

When it comes to color choices, balance is key. It’s worth noting that a statement wall of a bold nature can make a thoroughly impressive impact on your space and give the dramatic flair needed to liven up your office. Find that balance by complementing the dark with grays, ivories, or taupes.

Choose a Super-Scale or Geometric Pattern

Pick a statement wall and instead of using the long time popular small-scale patterns that abound, go for a super-scale or geometric pattern to stand out and establish the lively personality of your company.

Mix the Pattern Palette

While this corporate design trend may seem quirky initially, the impact of mixing patterns can create a positive lasting impression on visitors and when applied well, looks fabulous in many settings. Mix and match tiles, wall coverings, or Architectural Fusions from Surfacequest for a trendy and confident design statement.

Corporate Interior Design

The name of the game for corporate interior design is to stand out. Find a designer whom you trust to reflect the true nature and personality of your business and trust them to mesh trendy statements with mature design tactics to create the perfect corporate space for you and your employees. For truly versatile, cost effective, and an efficient refreshing of your office, contact the experts at Surfacequest. We’ll work alongside your designer to perfect your corporate interior.

Use Interior Design to Positively Influence your Staff

Written by Surfacequest on April 18, 2017. Posted in News. Leave a Comment

As much as many of us love spending time in the outdoors, the reality of life is that the majority of our days are spent inside. We perform many of our day to day tasks and assignments via computer and internet connectivity and in conference rooms and offices. While this may vary depending upon career, technology has become our dictator in the sense that we’re reliant upon it to help us run our lives. And technology (for the most part) lives at our desks. As such, we want to be infused with energy, vigor, and life on a day to day basis to help us to be as productive as possible. Believe it or not, interior design is a key piece of this life giving puzzle.

What are some ways to use interior design to your advantage in the workplace? There are key ingredients and facets of your space to consider as you plan and design it to best accommodate you and your staff. Read on to learn more.

Color is more than what you see.

Multiple studies have concluded that color affects each of us psychologically. We see blue and we feel calm. Yellow imbibes happiness. Red symbolizes power and passion. Take advantage of the colors you choose in your space to energize your team and enthuse your consumers.

Decor and furniture send a message.

Don’t simply grab inexpensive or a hodge podge of decor and furniture to fill your office space. Be selective and only place items that fit your interior design style and reflect your branding. Give the right impression to your guests and, again, be mindful of the message you’re subtly relaying to your staff by the items you’re surrounding them with.

Free space is better than clutter.

When it comes to interior design particularly in a workspace, it’s important to keep the area as free from clutter as possible. Filling space simply for the sake of filling it creates a busy atmosphere that’s not conducive to productivity. When lines are clean and decor is minimal but intentional, you and your team are more free to focus without the distraction of unnecessary clutter.

Green is the New Black in Renovations: Reuse old doors? Yes, you can!

Written by Surfacequest on April 5, 2017. Posted in News. Leave a Comment

A common turnover item in hotels is the door. A door is a heavily used and necessary item in the hotel business and as such, almost requires its own budgetary allotment. Unsightly scuff marks or other damage to doors happens regularly and the only option at some point becomes the replacement of doors building wide. If your doors do manage to live a longer life than most, they’ll likely become outdated and still need to be replaced. There is a better way: Architectural Film from Surfacequest solve this problem for you in a stylish, cost effective, and sustainable way.

Give Old Doors New Life

By simply resurfacing your doors with Architectural Film, you’re making use of a still fully functional item and breathing new life into it. You also contribute greatly to keeping our landfills freed up by keeping those same doors out of them. This is a win-win on so many levels, and we have yet to mention the fact that it’s far less expensive to cover your existing substrate (your door, in this case) with our Architectural Fusions than to completely replace an otherwise functional door. There is also very little downtime when resurfacing a door with Architectural Fusions as our Certified Installers apply the material while the door is still on the hinge.

Project Feature: Resurfaced Doors at the Flamingo

We recently did a mock-up at the Flamingo using Architectural Film and resurfaced this door. Check out the results:

With Architectural Film (what we call our Architectural Fusions here at Surfacequest), the Flamingo was able to save money, promote sustainability, and end up with an end product that was aesthetically suited to their branding needs.

Sustainably Beautiful

There’s simply no need to throw out and replace something that still has plenty of life to live and usability to offer. In the hotel industry, repairs and refreshes are constant, but they don’t need to be more of a strain on your budget and the earth than necessary. Contact us at Surfacequest with any questions or to brainstorm ways to keep and beautify the surfaces you currently have.

Stand out with a Custom Statement Piece

Written by Surfacequest on April 5, 2017. Posted in News. Leave a Comment

What if there was a way to redesign your space with something completely unique to “you”? Creating custom designs is a challenge on a large scale unless you’re able to access exclusive artwork. That option is expensive and not replicable and sustainable for many companies. There is, however, a way to create a custom statement piece in a room without breaking the bank and while remaining fully unique to your brand. Your answer: custom Architectural Fusions from Surfacequest.

Custom Statement Wall: The Sky’s the Limit

Not only do we offer hundreds of different prints, colors, and patterns to choose from, but we can create a custom statement piece to perfectly fit your particular needs. The Surfacequest team can work with you and your design team to create something truly one-of-a-kind and exclusive to your branding all while staying within a reasonable budget.

Project Focus: Custom Printing for Radisson

Check out this custom statement piece project we recently did for Radisson.

This is a completely custom print fit for an individual company to set themselves apart from the status quo, don’t you think? Radisson commissioned the artwork, we printed the artwork on our Architectural Fusions and then provided a seamless wrap install that allowed the artwork to flow consistently on the custom wardrobe. We loved the outcome of this project, and so did our clients.

Dream Big with Custom Prints

What’s your custom statement dream? We can help it come true with expert design teams equipped to handle whatever ideas you have for us. Our goal is to make your vision come to fruition in the most authentic and least costly way possible, all with the use of our Architectural Fusions and solutions products. One of the ways we make that happen is by creating custom prints for you and your business.

Renovate, Reuse, Recycle: Give your Old Space New Vibes while Staying Green

Written by Surfacequest on April 3, 2017. Posted in News. Leave a Comment

Whether you’re a rooted business that’s continuing to see profitable growth or a new company just spreading its wings to fly, your image is an important aspect of your business. It’s not simply vanity driving your quest to create a flawless and enduring brand image; you’re doing it to meet the desires and needs of the consumer. Good business practice requires it, and you’re a great business. So what happens when your space needs a serious facelift? Do you gut the place and start over? Or could you access an aesthetic solution like architectural overlays to solve your problem? We’re here to tell you that the latter option is one to seriously consider.

Save Money, Stay Green

If you’ve got sound structures to work with, you can save piles of money and time by using architectural overlays like the Architectural Fusions offered by Surfacequest. One of the best parts of this option is the fact that you’re critically reducing waste created by a typical rip and rebuild while at the same time reusing the material you already have. There’s no reason not to consider renovating with architectural overlays, but if you’re still not convinced, check out this project we did recently for SpringHill Suites.

The outdated, old surface of this cabinet was reused and made beautiful again with the simple and inexpensive option of Architectural Fusions from Surfacequest. This is a clean, sustainable process that puts money back into your wallet and puts smiles on the faces of those enjoying your space.

Promote Sustainability & Refresh your Space

Renovate sustainably with architectural overlays (Architectural Fusions) from Surfacequest. Contact us today and we can help you brainstorm ways to use the material you already have to refresh your space. You’d be surprised what a simple overlay can do for a space in terms of aesthetics and beautification. Your outdated area will feel new and fresh, and best of all, you’ll have done mother nature (and your fellow humans) a favor by going green with your renovation.
