Walls that carry the brief in Reading
Wall graphics in Reading turn a blank surface into a brief. Printed murals and cut vinyl are used in offices, schools and retail back-of-house. Reading's multi-let office parks at Green Park and Thames Valley Park churn tenants constantly, which keeps demand steady for building identification, plot totems and full internal wayfinding.
The wall finish decides the product. We test a patch on survey rather than guessing from a photo.
Reading's economy includes PepsiCo, Bayer and SSE. That mix shapes what local buildings need. It is a picture of who occupies the place, not a client list.
The town centre is a separate market where conservation area policy shapes what will actually get approved.
What we make
Murals and wall coverings for Reading
For this kind of brief in Reading, the live product list is Full colour printed wall murals, Textured and wipeable wall coverings, Cut vinyl wall lettering and quotes and Breakout and collaboration space graphics. Each item is made in house at Marlow Bottom and installed by our own teams.
Letter depth, lighting and vinyl coverage follow Reading Borough Council and the elevation in front of us. Nothing here is a copy-and-paste pack from another town.
Local knowledge
Wall graphics inside Reading buildings
Advertisement consent in Reading is mixed: some commercial sites are simple, heritage streets are not. Reading Borough Council is the planning authority. We walk the elevation before we lock full colour printed wall murals, so the drawing matches the street rather than a catalogue.
Inside, murals and vinyl are a fit-out job, not an advertisement to Reading Borough Council. Keep that brief separate from any fascia on the way in, or the interior waits on a street decision it does not need.
In the town centre conservation areas the 2022 Shopfronts SPD means hand-finished and externally lit schemes get consent more easily than internally illuminated boxes. We write the drawing for this site, then Reading Borough Council decides any application.
- Survey first. We will not manufacture until the consent route is clear.
- Eldon Square and Kendrick is the conservation setting that most often changes letter depth, lighting and colour.
- Reading Borough Council's published position in short: Reading Borough Council adopted a Design Guide to Shopfronts SPD in January 2022 covering fascias, window displays, entrance features and signage.
- Made at Marlow Bottom and fitted on site. We do not run a workshop or showroom in Reading.

Questions
Wall graphics in Reading
Printed wall graphics in Reading can go on painted plaster, plasterboard, sealed masonry, glass and many wipeable finishes. The survey tells us if the wall needs priming, a textured covering, or cut vinyl instead of a full mural.
Life depends on the elevation, the film or paint specified and the weather that wall actually sees. We do not publish a fake year count. Maintenance from Marlow Bottom is available after handover.
Removable films are specified when a rebrand is likely. Clean removal still depends on the paint or glass. We test a small area on survey and say if the finish is too weak for a clean peel.
Yes. We print from your artwork once resolution, colour and bleed are checked. If files need rebuilding for a Reading wall, that happens before anyone goes to site.
Yes. We fit in live Reading workplaces without emptying the floor. M4 junctions 10, 11 and 12, A33 and A4. Reading station is the western terminus of the Elizabeth line; Reading Green Park station opened 2023. Protection of desks, glass and finishes is planned on the survey, not on the morning of the install.
