## Wall panels in a conference room

Panelled walls in a conference room are covered panel by panel. Each panel is wrapped so the wallcovering runs the same way on every one, and the edges meet the neighbouring panels on a clean line, because the room is seen all at once from the doors.

Our own photographs, first posted on our Instagram, [@mrwallcover](https://www.instagram.com/mrwallcover/), in September and November 2019: the conference room first, then the wallcoverings and the hotel. The work is recorded in our posts of 29 September 2019 ([B3AAo9sFAE_](https://www.instagram.com/p/B3AAo9sFAE_/)) and 27 November 2019 ([B5XtSRtFedQ](https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XtSRtFedQ/)).

How the commission ran

## The same standards, on every commission.

Whether the client is a hotel group, a designer or a household, the job runs the same way. These are the parts a photograph never shows.

01

### Survey and scope, room by room

We measure the wall that will actually be hung, allow for the repeat and the wastage, and write a scope of works room by room before anyone orders paper.

02

### Preparation decides the finish

Walls are filled, made good and primed until they are true. If a wall is not ready for the material specified, we say so before the last drop is ordered.

03

### Protection and containment

Floors, furniture and finished joinery are protected as part of the hang. Work is contained and the place is left tidy each evening. In a home we are visitors; in a hotel we work around the house.

04

### Batch and shade control

Deliveries are checked against the measure, and batches and shading are managed so that a corridor of rooms reads as one surface.

05

### Set out from the room's focal points

Pattern is set out from chimneypieces, doorcases and bed walls, so the design meets the cornice and the joinery with composure.

06

### One team, then the return visit

The people who start are the people who finish. Four to six weeks after completion we come back to look at every seam and edge, and the workmanship is guaranteed for twelve months.
