The Art of Estimation

Yacht interiors are unique, and wrapping them with architectural film requires precision and attention to detail. The goal is to provide a fresh, modern look while ensuring the wrap is durable and long-lasting. Randy’s approach emphasizes these principles, ensuring that each project is both beautiful and functional.

Tools of the Trade

Before getting started, Randy ensures he has all the necessary tools:

Measuring tape

Notepad or digital device for note-taking

Camera or smartphone for capturing images

Calculator for quick calculations

Measuring the Yacht Interior

Walls

Randy starts with the walls, as they form the largest surface area. He measures the height and width of each wall, noting any windows, doors, or other openings that will need special attention. By recording these dimensions, he can calculate the total area and estimate the amount of film required.

Cabinetry

Next, Randy moves on to the cabinetry. Yachts often have custom-built cabinets, so it’s crucial to measure each section carefully. He measures the height, width, and depth of each cabinet, noting any intricate details or hardware that may affect the wrap application.

Doors

Yacht doors come in various shapes and sizes. Randy measures both the height and width of each door, including the frame. He also considers the door's movement and the areas that will be most visible when the door is open.

Cabin

The bathroom, or "head" in nautical terms, is a smaller but vital space. Randy measures all the surfaces, including walls, counters, and fixtures. He pays special attention to areas that may be exposed to moisture, ensuring the chosen film is suitable for these conditions.

Beds

Yacht beds often have unique shapes and built-in features. Randy measures the mattress area, headboard, and any surrounding structures. He ensures the wrap will fit seamlessly and withstand regular use.

Detailed Notes and Photos

Throughout the process, Randy takes detailed notes and photos of each area. This documentation helps in creating an accurate estimate and serves as a reference during the wrapping process. By capturing the intricacies of the yacht's interior, he can anticipate potential challenges and plan accordingly.

Calculating the Estimate

Once all measurements are taken, Randy calculates the total area to be wrapped. He then factors in the cost of the architectural film, considering both the material and labor required. Randy ensures to include a contingency for any unexpected issues or additional materials needed.

Wrapping with Architectural Film

Architectural film is an excellent choice for yacht interiors. It offers durability, a wide range of design options, and ease of maintenance. Randy highlights how this material can transform the yacht’s look, providing a fresh, modern appearance that can withstand the marine environment.
