Wall Art & Murals

Wall Art & Murals
We offer a variety of graphic products to create a unique atmosphere in your professional space. We have worked extensively in universities, museums, healthcare facilities, commercial showrooms, corporate offices and restaurants.
We work with numerous commercial interior design firms and also directly with clients to bring their vision to life.
Glass Graphics & Window Enhancement
Among our most common requests in commercial spaces, for safety, privacy, beauty and branding. Please see our Window Enhancement for detailed information.
Wall Murals / Custom Wallpaper
We can design and print custom wallpaper or murals to brand your space, create a unique setting, educate visitors to your space or otherwise. We offer both adhesive wallcoverings, which can be installed by our team, or we also print standard wallpaper for use by a wallpaper installer with standard liquid wallpaper paste/adhesive. We also have textured options for larger projects.
Wall Art / Photography
Beautiful art prints and photography can truly make a space inviting. All that we need from you is your vision and a high-resolution photo or art file.
Stretched Canvas
We gallery-wrap our archival-quality textured canvas on ¾” thick and 1 ½” thick stretcher frames. We create them as small as 12” x 12” and have made them up to 8’ x 10’. We truly can create the size to best fit your space.
Stretched Smooth Vinyl
This is a popular alternative to stretched canvas for high-traffic commercial spaces. The smooth banner material can be wiped clean with soap and water or dusted without issue. We gallery wrap smooth vinyl banner in the same way that we do canvas on1 ½” stretcher frames, but with support beneath the face — helpful when there are wandering fingers in commercial spaces. This product is ideal for larger size pieces, beginning at roughly 24” x 36” and extending up to 8’ x 10’.
Art Prints on PVC
PVC is a fast-turnaround, economical substrate, recommended for indoor application out of direct sunlight. (PVC can warp in extreme sunlight or uneven heat.)
We recommend ½” thickness for a bold, contemporary statement with photography and art. We take the print to the edge leaving just the ½” return to the wall.
The ¼” thickness prints the same way, and looks sharp when hung with aluminum standoffs.
This is a popular choice for medical spaces and high-traffic areas, as they can be easily cleaned.
PVC prints are easy to hang; typically backed with our z-clip hanging hardware.
Art Prints on Brushed Aluminum
This is a favorite as the prints always are stunning. The good news is they are economical too. We print directly to brushed aluminum composite with translucent inks, revealing the sparkle and texture of the brushed metal through the print. Brushed metal prints also are easy to clean, and easy to hang. We recommend hanging either with our z-clip hanging hardware on the back, or with aluminum standoffs at the corners/edges.
Art Prints on Clear Acrylic and Polycarbonate
Clear acrylic and polycarbonate panels make beautiful art and photography prints. We generally print to the edge of the acrylic/polycarbonate panel, but can also inset the art if a clear or frosted edge is desired. Standard thicknesses are ¼” and ½” for art prints, but other thicknesses are available.
We recommend aluminum standoffs as hanging hardware.
Standard Hardware for Interior Acrylic Panels
Interior acrylic panels can be mounted in two ways. If clear or frosted, they can be mounted with metal standoffs (round pucks at the corners).
If opaque / solid color, the acrylic panel can also be blind-mounted, with z-clips on the back. Z-clips are metal French cleats.

What's the turn around time?
Commercial Interior projects are generally more involved than standard signs and thus take more time. Three to six weeks is a good estimate, depending on whether art is ready or must be created. More complex projects may take more time and deadlines will be discussed.

The folks at Port City City Signs are friendly and professional. They have worked on several jobs for Cape Fear Community College over the years and it has been a pleasure to work with them.
