Let us help you answer some questions. Below you’ll find a general list of questions we get asked quite frequently. We do our best to explain ourselves, but if you have further questions or comments please don’t hesitate to contact us.

tips and specifics.
What Types of Mesh Banners Does Britten Offer?
Britten offers multiple Architectural Mesh™ options, including 30%, 50%, and 70% mesh materials. The right mesh percentage depends on your project's visibility, wind exposure, and graphic requirements. Our team can help recommend the best mesh banner solution for building wraps, scaffolding wraps, and large-format outdoor graphics.
When Should I Use Fabric, Vinyl, or Mesh Banners?
Each banner material is designed for different environments and goals. Fabric banners are commonly used for trade shows, event backdrops, retail displays, and other indoor applications where image quality and presentation are the top priorities. Vinyl banners are a versatile option for both indoor and outdoor branding when you need bold colors,
durability, and maximum graphic impact. Mesh banners are best suited for windy outdoor locations such as fences, scaffolding, and building wraps, where airflow through the
material helps reduce wind load while maintaining visibility.
How Long Do Outdoor Mesh and Vinyl Banners Last?
The lifespan of a banner depends on the material, installation method, and weather exposure, but Britten's banner products are engineered for long-term outdoor performance with durable, UV- and fade-resistant print options. For pole banner programs, our BannerSaver™ hardware is backed by an industry-leading 15-year warranty and is specifically designed to reduce wind stress on banners, helping extend the life of the overall display system.
What Are Event Structures Used For?
Britten's EventTruss™ event structures can be used to create arches, stages, banner displays, sponsor signage, entry features, and custom branded environments. Their modular design allows them to support a wide variety of event and experiential marketing applications while maintaining portable for easy transportation and setup.
What Is Foam3D™ Used For?

What Is the Best Banner Material for Outdoor Events?

elements including Foam3D™ sculptures, EventTruss™ structures, BoxPop® custom shipping containers, signage, and more that help bring activation concepts to life.
What should I look for when hiring an event fabrication company?
