ACC Liverpool — Internal Refurbishment

ACC Liverpool needed ten existing toilet blocks refreshed without removing cubicle systems that were still structurally sound. After comparing a full refit with resurfacing, the venue specified interior architectural film.

Lustalux was on site for four weeks installing approximately 1,500 metres of LG architectural film (now LX Hausys) to the dated cubicles. Rather than a full strip-out, the existing panels were prepared and wrapped in a modern finish, with each area completed in approximately 1–2 days around the convention centre's events calendar.

“We’ve been open since 2008 and the toilets were starting to look quite dated. Initially, we had the idea of renovating the whole toilet, which includes ripping everything out to fit brand new toilet cubicles and panels. After a bit of investigation, we discovered that was going to be quite costly, and with the panels being in pretty good condition, we approached Lustalux for a more cost-effective option.” — Zak Khachik, Head of Operations, ACC Liverpool

To install the film, the team sanded and cleaned the panels, then applied the film directly to the retained substrate.

“Lustalux has been really good from quotation right through to project management. We are a busy convention centre, and it was great that Lustalux could work around us, whilst being self-contained and keeping noise to a minimum.” — Zak Khachik, Head of Operations, ACC Liverpool

The recorded 75% saving compared with cubicle replacement belongs to this ACC Liverpool specification. It is not a universal architectural-film cost, waste or downtime claim. For commercial architectural film, window film and signage across Liverpool and Merseyside, see Liverpool architectural film.
