No two installs are the same, and Connor Costen from Last Interiors proved it with a stunning Cover Styl refurb of Arsenal’s home dressing room.
"The durability of the film in such a high footfall area was absolutely key to success. After 16 years without much of a refresh, the changing rooms were in desperate need of something new"
The Team Talk:
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the colours chosen for the wrap were to be white and red, in keeping with the team’s branding. The specific colours used were Cover Styl L2 Red and J14 White Wood.
First Half:
As you can probably imagine, refurbing the home dressing room in an active Premier League football stadium is probably going to mean one thing. Tight deadlines. Well, fortunately, the perfect window of opportunity opened itself up towards the end of September, when Arsenal had a 3-week gap between home games after their 3-1 win against Tottenham. Connor started work on the project immediately, spending the first few days making sure the area was in the right condition for installation to begin. This included sanding down all areas and filling 16 years’ worth of wear and tear.
Second Half:
The installation was reasonably straight forward, starting out with the application of J2 White Wood to the existing back and above areas of the shirt panels. Next was the bottom boot shelves, before moving on to fitting L2 Red to the side panels throughout the dressing room. Finally, the most challenging part of the project, the slatted seats, were tackled last.
"Last Interiors completed the project on time and within budget for the following home game, and the results are fantastic to see"
Post Match Interview:
As already mentioned, the project was Last Interior’s favourite to date. It was an incredible achievement for them as a company and exactly the sort of success story that we at William Smith love to hear about. When asked about the project, Connor from Last Interiors said, "The staff at the stadium were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We even got a tour of the stadium, and it was amazing to see the facilities they have there. It was a pleasure to add to that and to be able to showcase what we can achieve. I’m very much looking forward to the next opportunity that comes our way.”
“The feedback has been overwhelming. As a football fan, it was a real privilege to have the opportunity to work on something like this"
Result:
Well, the results speak for themselves. Satisfied clients and a very proud installer. It’s what we love to hear. It’s also worth noting that Arsenal are unbeaten at home since the completion of their new dressing room … coincidence? Well, yes. Probably. But who knows?
"This project is just another of many success stories we often hear about from our vast installer network. We are proud to work closely with our installers and look forward to seeing what other exciting things can be achieved with film. Job well done, Connor. You’re the man of the match in our book!"
