I have a customer that wants to wrap a building which is red brick wall. The size is 120 ft x30 ft. What is the best option to wrap this big wall? Any suggestions, experiences you might have? I was told to do with 3M but another installer told me to do not use because they installed and after a week fail the material, started peeling off. Now the weather is colder so not sure If I should do that because the brick will be more moistened. Any other suggestions? Maybe build a large frame and install with multiple panels? Thanks!

Hire a real sign painter, plenty up your way to choice from, it will look better, be a better image & last longer & they can work till it gets 25 degrees in case weather happens sooner.
You can also build a frame & attached panels or a banner for a years worth but they both look cheap

Try 3M 480 for the colder areas, and also you can check out the New HEXIS Stick to anything vinyl. Our installer just did a few jobs with it and he said its way better then any other product he has installed on walls.

This product I think would work very well, probably worth requesting a sample.
The material cost is highish (on the order of reflective vinyl) but a huge advantage is the ability to remove it (& recycle!) and still have the bare brick. While I love a handpainted wall mural, once it's painted, it stays that way.

Just saw that Alumigraphics at SGIA and it was installed outside. No heat install, just uses a roller and hands. 3M installed on a collum and it took about 30 minutes, Alumigraphics installed and it took about 4 minutes.
We are going to get some samples and see what we think.

+1++1+1+1+1 Saw the guy with 3M installing on the brick pillar. Took the guy forever and he had immediate pealing issues. The alumigraphics looked also like it came out a lot cleaner.
