B&Q, Carmarthen & Harringay

The Brief

Two more B&Q store launches supported with all-new signage.

The DIY retailer has recently opened two new stores: Carmarthen and Harringay — both kitted out with internal and external signage manufactured and installed by Greens.

We were tasked with replicating their new store model across the two sites, ensuring brand accuracy while complementing the buildings and existing fixtures.

The Solution

The Carmarthen site features a six-metre-tall totem with solar-powered internal illumination, constructed from steel frames, folded aluminium panels, and flex faces, all powder-coated for a seamless finish.

Three more internally-illuminated flex faces, each measuring 3.5m by 3.5m, take pride of place on the store’s façade, ensuring round-the-clock visibility across the three road-facing elevations.

We face-fixed powder-coated aluminium panels to the building, and installed as car park free-standers, both finished with vinyl-applied graphics.

Internally, we installed a set of ‘Paint Mixing’ built-up letters with face illumination.

Harringay

Harringay received a similar treatment, with four internally-illuminated flex faces and three powder-coated, vinyl-applied aluminium panels installed across the store’s main elevations.

Matching Carmarthen, we also installed a combination of face-fixed and freestanding aluminium panels with vinyl detailing.

We installed more internal solutions at this site however, including digi-print vinyl with floor-grade lamination applied to the stair risers, Foamex bulkhead letter sets, and the staple ‘Paint Mixing’ installation comprising face-illuminated letter sets and suspended paint swatches.

The Result

Both sites were completed ahead of the planned schedule and had successful grand openings documented by the B&Q team.

Following the launch of the Carmarthen and Harringay stores, we started working on the next set of sites for B&Q.
