F.A.Q's
WHAT IMPACT DOES INSTALLING A WALLSCAPE HAVE TO AN OLD BRICK WALL OF A BUILDING?
A wallscape is the most building friendly form of outdoor media. A wallscape is essentially a vinyl banner. The set up does not require a lot of heavy hardware. Anchors are spaced every two to three feet, and once the anchors is in place, there never needs to be another hole drilled into your wall. We use a HILTI HIT Epoxy to secure the Threaded Rod Anchors. The vinyl can be replaced very easily without any change to the structural support.
