How Much Does School Wall Art Cost?
The cost of school wall art depends on five things: the size of the area, the condition of the walls, the design work involved, the materials needed and how easy the space is to fit. Every school is different, so HD Wraps UK prices each project individually, and you can get an email quote from photos and rough measurements before any site visit.
This guide explains what affects the price of school wall art and wall wraps, so you know what to expect before you ask for a quote.
What affects the cost of school wall art?
1. The size of the area
Wall wraps are printed and fitted by the square metre, so size is the biggest single factor. A single reception feature wall costs far less than a full corridor, stairwell or outdoor fence line. Larger projects often work out better value per square metre.
2. The condition of the walls
Wall wraps go straight onto most painted walls. Very rough or crumbling walls need making good first: we fix Foamex panels onto thin battens to create a flat surface, which adds some cost but gives a far better, longer-lasting finish.
3. Design
All our school wall art is designed to your brief by designers with more than 20 years’ experience in children’s publication design, using your logo, colours, values and curriculum content. You can give us a detailed brief or let our designers come up with ideas, with as many changes as you like within the agreed brief.
4. Materials
Indoor wall wraps use industry-leading, Class 0 fire-rated vinyl, over-laminated with a matt or gloss scuff-resistant layer with UV inhibitors to stop fading. Outdoor wall art is printed onto ACM panels with UV inhibitors, built for British weather. Stair graphics go on the front of each step only, never the tread.
5. Installation
Professional fitting is included in every school wall art project. Simple, clear walls are quick to fit: a 5m x 2.4m wall typically takes around two hours. Stairwells, high walls and awkward shapes take longer, which is reflected in the quote.
Is school wall art worth the cost?
School wall art is an investment rather than a running cost. Wall wraps typically last well over 10 years and come with a 3-year guarantee against material defects. Over that time, a corridor would need repainting and touching up many times to cover bag and shoe scuffs, and for larger schools those costs can run into thousands a year.
If a section is damaged, we can cut out and replace just that piece with a newly printed section, so the repair is virtually invisible. Very small repairs are normally very low cost.
Can we spread the cost of school wall art?
Yes. Many schools start with one high-impact area, such as reception or a main corridor, and add more areas as budgets allow. Because every design is kept on file, later phases match the first perfectly.
