Vinyl on outdoor benches

[10sacer]

Hello all,

Have a customer who has the bright idea of wrapping concrete benches with vinyl for concrete with matte laminate.
Easily done - BUT - won't this stuff turn into lava in the summer sun? Will be around an outdoor kids play area and I am worried someone is gonna get fried sitting on these things in shorts.

Thoughts?

I'm sure the kids will be more detrimental than the elements or anything else.

I am sure there is an anti-graffiti sealer/coating that can be sprayed on these that would work better and cost less.

Matte is a terrible choice for anti-graffiti... But I don't see why you couldn't wrap concrete benches

Take it from an ex teacher. Kids can destroy an anvil with a rubber mallet. Nope, just nope, lol.

I third the fact that the children will destroy the wrap before any elements do. We recently did a bunch of wall murals for the local libraries (the children's area). We have all ready had to replace sections at 2 different locations because of the kids. busy fingers.

Rather than picking their noses they'll be picking these things apart. Years ago, it used to be they would peel the die-cut vinyl off and spell completely new words...... very nice elaborate words.

We recently did changeovers and murals for many local schools when they changed the names to be "politically correct". We were doing reprints before all the schools were complete from little fingers. Between that and the salesman for contractor not knowing how to read a ruler we were pretty busy for a minute or two.
