Embracing The New Normal With Floor Graphics

Over the past several months, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed communities to find creative ways to slow the spread of disease while still supporting local economies. While the importance of these efforts is widely understood, one solution was quickly adopted: using visual reminders to reinforce new public health guidelines such as social distancing and mask requirements.

Unfortunately, many communities are oversaturated with messaging on signs, walls, and windows, making it difficult to capture attention. Fortunately, there's one highly visible and effective space for communication that’s often overlooked: the floor!

Why Use Floor Graphics?

Floor surfaces are quickly becoming prime real estate for communicating messages and guidelines. As a result, floor graphics have emerged as a go-to solution for businesses looking to remind customers about social distancing and clearly define where patrons should stand, wait, or move within stores and public spaces.

While many businesses have already adopted floor graphics, there are still numerous public environments that could benefit from their use. These include schools, DMVs, and other public service areas that regularly serve large groups of people. Thanks to their versatility, floor graphics can be fully customized to meet specific customer needs.

For example, an elementary school teacher may use colorful designs featuring familiar cartoon characters to help students remember where to sit, work, or play. In contrast, a DMV may opt for a simple, straightforward design that clearly indicates where visitors should line up.

One of the greatest advantages of floor graphics is their ease of installation and removal. Designed to withstand daily foot traffic, these graphics can be removed or repositioned without leaving residue or damaging the floor surface, preserving both the material and the environment beneath it.

Properties of Floor Graphics

Floor graphics are made of vinyl materials, which are known for their strength, durability, and low cost. The moisture and fire resistance of vinyl make it perfect for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications. This is extremely convenient for customers who may need their floor graphics to be used in either environment.

Additionally, the versatility of floor graphics makes it easy for customers to deign their own graphics to meet their situational needs. Vinyl is available in a variety of colors allowing it to feature bold colors, embossed textures, and distinctive finishes. These products can be custom printed to your color, logo, and design specifications.

Floor graphics can also be paired with overlaminates and adhesive films for additional durability and versatility. To learn more about the benefits of floor graphics and how they can be used to flatten the curve, read this article.
