    Right here goes …

    I have a large wall mural at 6m x 1400 its been tiled in versaworks to 5 drops i have added 20mn overlap to top left but im slightly stumped as to how it works when installing the graphic do we start from the far left section and go right it start on the right and go left ?

    Can anyone shed some light on this ?

    Cheers

    I don’t think it matters.

    As either the left hand edge of the drop overlaps the right hand edge of the drop you’ve fitted or vice versa. The right hand edge of the drop, overlaps the left hand edge you’ve fitted.

    We usually check alignment on the bench before we fit, and Mark the overlaps with pencil top & bottom to help with fitting.

    Only your preference for direction, unless you have to consider something like eye line or direction of footfall so that the ‘open edge’ is facing a certain way.
    Hope it went well!

    Trouble with Matt is they’ll probably be wiping it down, with the oil spitting on it. Matt will just streak.

    In the past we have laminated this a polymeric matt laminate and it’s come up great. Typically a no no as everything should match but so far so good for us lifespan wise
