Protecting Public Art at St Andrews Road, Northampton
GB Facilities Services Ltd was proud to support Fermynwoods Contemporary Art and West Northamptonshire Council with specialist anti-graffiti and surface protection works to the new mural at St Andrews Road, Northampton.
Created by Studio Studio, the mural celebrates the heritage of Northampton Castle and provides a striking piece of public art for residents, commuters and visitors to enjoy.
Client: Fermynwoods Contemporary Art
Location: St Andrews Road, Northampton
Service: Anti-Graffiti & Specialist Surface Protection
Product: NU-Guard AG Clear™ totally transparent Protective Coating
Following completion of the artwork, our team applied Nu-Guard invisible protective coating, providing specialist protection without altering the mural’s original appearance or finish.
The protective treatment was applied to:
Prevent Graffiti Adhesion – Helping make future graffiti easier to manage and remove
Protect Against Pollution & Staining – Providing additional defence against environmental contamination
Preserve the Original Finish – Maintaining the appearance and character of the artists’ original work
Provide Long-Term Surface Protection – Helping protect the mural and extend the life of this important piece of public art
Working on a newly completed artwork required a careful and considered approach, ensuring the appropriate level of protection could be achieved while preserving the integrity of the mural beneath.
We are proud to have played a part in protecting this celebration of Northampton’s history, helping ensure the mural can continue to be enjoyed by the community for years to come.
