Paper Maps

Take a look at the range of finishes we can provide for your map, here at Business Map Centre. If you have any questions about any of these, do feel free to get in touch with us.

Pinboard Mounted Maps

Mounted onto foam centred board for rigidity, appearance, and the ability to be tacked with pins. Supplied mounted onto Kapa mount foam centred board. Fixed to the back of this board is a hanging mount, allowing you to easily hang your map.

Laminated Maps

Your wall map will be finished with an encapsulation process. Encapsulation means that the maps are heat sealed between two sheets of industrial quality film. Please note that the edges of this map are not sealed.

Encapsulation gives the map a write on wipe off finish, meaning that, using a dry wipe marker or Chinagraph pencil any writing on the map can be wiped off with a proprietary cleaner.

Laminated Maps with Wooden Hanging Bars

Supplied with real wooden hanging bars which adds to that vintage or classroom style.

This is a handmade wooden hanging system made from four wooden strips. Moulded wood in American walnut colour. The top and bottom of your print is pressed between the two wooden bars which are screwed together. We also supply two sawtooth hangers which allows you to fix the print to the wall.

Your map can be directly printed onto acrylic giving a translucent finish. This is a high class finish but really needs a light neutral background wall colour.

Custom Map Wallpaper

Wallpaper

Fitting and installation

Our pre-pasted wallpaper from HP needs no additional adhesive and is so simple to install that you won’t need to pay for a commercial decorator to do it for you (although we have fitters available should you wish – call us on 01993 880 939 to discuss).

Wallpaper details

The wallpaper is PVC free and is printed using HP’s Latex inks ensuring you get a more environmentally friendly mural compared to one produced with solvent inks. It is also odor-free making it safe for all rooms in the home and commercial interiors where the initial solvent smell would be an issue such as schools, restaurants, cafes and offices. The ultra smooth finish and the latex base of the inks provide vivid colour graphics with high-definition detail.

Removal

When the time comes to redecorate, the wallpaper is so easy to remove that HP provide a warranty for clean removal making it ideal for exhibition graphics or rented properties. You can then package up the stripped wall covering and recycle it through HP’s Planet Partners Recycling Program.

Bespoke mapping wallpaper

If this standard pre-pasted Wallpaper map is not quite what you’re looking for then we offer a bespoke wallpaper service. You can request the exact size to fit your wall and even change the design and colours of the map. Additionally we offer a range of different wallpaper finish options including smooth, laminated and magnetic lined wallpaper. Call our team on 01993 880 939 and they will talk you through all the options. Alternatively email us on enquiries@businessmapcentre.com with your details.
