Faq Floor
A wall-art FAQ for South African projects, answering common questions on artwork, materials, fitting and maintenance.
Where Faq Floor fits into a wall art project week
Faq Floor answers common questions about wall art projects in South Africa. It brings together straightforward guidance on artwork, materials, fitting methods and ongoing maintenance.
Begin with the room photos, substrate condition, and any restrictions on lifting skirtings or moving furniture. South African sites often bring dust from recent building work, damp near exterior walls, and adhesive residue from older coverings, so the FAQ is written to flag those issues before artwork sizing and fixing are discussed. Cape Town winter moisture, Durban humidity, and busy Gauteng fit-out schedules can all change material choices.
Send the earliest site image you have, even if the room is still being cleared. That picture helps flag skirtings, corners, power points and existing marks that may affect placement or trimming. Keep the approved artwork file with the FAQ notes so installers and buyers are working from the same reference.
Checks before artwork fitting
Project teams need a usable set of checks for artwork selection, substrate choice and fitting preparation. Record dimensions, finish decisions and maintenance points in plain terms that suit homes, offices and hospitality sites. One accurate note about scale and wall condition prevents confusion later in production and installation.
Use this FAQ alongside the substrate guide and design reference when a space needs artwork over existing surface finishes. Confirm the approved file, chosen material, and package marking again before dispatch, especially where moisture marks, curled edges, or previous glue failure were noted. Share a photo of the space and the print finish you like, and the studio will plan the piece.

Site conditions that affect artwork
South African wall-art briefs often involve apartment blocks, corporate fit-outs, hotel passages and retail changeovers with strict access windows. Gauteng dry air, KZN humidity and Western Cape salt exposure can each influence print media, laminates and cleaning advice. When a client supplies brand rules or existing artwork, note that from the start so scaling and colour decisions stay consistent.
Coastal installations may need extra attention on adhesives, edge sealing and wipe-down routines. Inland sites collect dust differently, which matters for framed pieces, acrylic faces and mounted prints near entrances. Load-shedding and building generator schedules can also affect when lighting checks and final fitting inspections happen.

FAQ notes for site handover
Use the Faq Floor brief to share floor type, room photos, timing, and any lifting edges, moisture issues or failed adhesives already on site. Keep the subject line clear.
Save these notes while installer feedback, measurements, and artwork approvals are still easy to verify. Keep them with the project brief, room photos, and material references so buyers and decorators can track what was checked on site. It is especially useful where older coverings were removed and the wall base needs extra preparation before graphics go up.
