We help shoot professionals create sets by hiring our unique 'set panels' mounted in textures, metallics and block colours.

Set Surfaces is a set hire service providing portable ready made and bespoke background solutions for shoots and events. Our panels consist of textiles mounted onto lightweight panels and come in a variety of designs and finishes. All textiles have been handpicked, from high end metallic snakeskin prints from Chelsea Harbour, to prints of plaster, wood and bricks shot in Argentina. Our panels are beautiful yet practical, and provide a simple cost effective background solution for small scale shoots and events without compromising on quality.

It totally depends on the requirement. 

If a client would like to amend a Surface we already have, by perhaps changing the colour only - we can print next day.

If the client only has reference and the Surface needs to be sourced and created and colour tests are also needed, it can take 10-12 days.

Our custom pricing is very cost effective, at the risk of sounding like a parrot - it very much depends on the requirement.
