Drytac’s Polar Grip Air polymeric self-adhesive PVC film is the ideal solution when graphics need to be there to stay, whatever the conditions, for up to seven years with a matching laminate. Texas-based DTX Wraps used the permanent self-adhesive vinyl to create a series of striking interior and exterior graphics for use at Gas Monkey Icehouse.
Gas Monkey Icehouse, a new concept from the nearby, world-famous Gas Monkey Garage, has very much been inspired by the original garage, taking on a car theme throughout. This is where DTX Wraps was able to assist, working with the new venue to produce eye-catching graphics inside and outside the building.
‘We have worked with Gas Monkey Garage on several projects over the years,’ said CJ Reichwein, Managing Partner of DTX Wraps. ‘On this occasion, we had to produce and install approximately 186sqm (2,000 square feet) of vinyl at the new venue.’
As a long-time user of Drytac products, DTX Wraps quickly identified Polar Grip Air as the ideal choice for the project. This printable vinyl features a strong, permanent adhesive and bubble-free application technology, making installation fast and easy. It’s designed for challenging surfaces like brick and cinderblock, making it perfect for the venue’s textured walls.
Offering high opacity, Polar Grip Air also provides a consistent printing surface and offers a superb white point, while its availability in a matt finish with a grey permanent adhesive allows for optimum performance on a variety of substrates.
To ensure durability in a public setting, DTX Wraps combined the Polar Grip Air with Drytac’s Weathershield Matt overlaminate. This protective film is rated for up to seven years outdoors and carries multiple fire certifications, making it a safe and reliable choice for high-traffic environments.
The company printed all elements in-house on its Epson SureColor SC-S80600L before installing the graphics on location ahead of the venue opening to the public.
‘We know Drytac products well, which is why we trusted them for such a high-profile project,’ said Reichwein. ‘The install went smoothly, and the feedback has been incredible.’
‘We really value our relationship with Drytac. Like us, they prioritise customer service. We get a top-quality product, strong support, and great value.’
