FOAMED PVC
"I had used many variations of fabric banners and flags in past projects but wanted to provide my client, Breckinridge Middle School, with a unique display of flags," said Marc Waller, president of Thayer Design. For the atrium of the Roanoke, Virginia, school, Thayer created a display of flags representing 48 nations.
For the display, 3mm black Sintra® Material, rigid board of foamed polyvinyl chloride (PVC), was curved into "waves." The depth of the curved waves was 8 inches. The flag images were printed onto self-adhesive vinyl and then mounted to the material. Kirtis Kwik Signs of Lynchburg, Virginia, supplied the flag graphics and installed the display.
Waller chose a rigid display over one made of fabric for several reasons. "Sintra Material provides a lightweight, smooth, hard surface that is resistant to wear and is easy to clean - all at a very reasonable cost. It also lends an innovative look that was well integrated into the architecture of the lobby itself," he said.
